App id: INST-08. Reference version 1.0.

How to fill it

Fill the inputs. The tool shows the outputs.

On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.

Formula

Span = URV − LRV; EU/mA = Span / 16

Inputs

NameUnit
Lower range (LRV)psi
Upper range (URV)psi

Outputs

NameUnit
Span (hero result)psi
Midpointpsi
EU per mApsi

Diagnose

This tool does not attach diagnose observations.

Assumptions

  • Assumes a 4–20 mA (16 mA) live span.

Provenance

  • EU/mA is span/16 displayed in the engineering pressure unit.
