Application Information – Pneumatic
NOTE: Pressure and temperature readings must be
taken at the flow transmitter inlet to ensure accurate
correction factors.
The pneumatic flow transmitter is calibrated for air in
standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) at 1.0 s.g. (70°F
@ 100 psi), and liters per second (lps) at 1.0 s.g.
(21°C @ 6.9 bar).
