9. Calibration of pH Electrode?
Procedure of pH electrode Calibration
Select two buffers that bracket the expected sample
pH.
More buffers can be used for greater accuracy over a
wider pH range. For best accuracy, use buffers that are
no more than 3 pH units apart.
Example Calculation:
Product S.G=0.89
Glycol S.G = 1.02
Measurement length = 2000mm.
Off set = 100mm.
Full length =2000+100 = 2100mm.
Note: LRV and URV calculation may have small variation as compare
with HART communicator reading due to calibration with actual
pressure.
Note: The reason to open the low side (top) isolation valve is to get the
actual pressure vessel.
Example Calculation:
Product S.G=0.89
Glycol S.G = 1.02
Measurement length = 2000mm.
Off set = 100mm.
Full length =2000+100 = 2100mm.
DP = HP –LP
Example Calculation:
DP = HP – LP
Example Calculation:
DP = HP – LP
Example Calculation:
Product S.G =0.667
Capillary S.G = 1.113
Measurement length = 888mm.
DP = HP – LP
Example Calculation:
Product S.G=0.635
Capillary S.G = 1.07
Measurement length = 235mm.
Off set = 400mm.
DP = HP – LP
LRV = 0 – (offset length × Capillary S.G)
= 0 – (400 x 1.07) = – 428mmH2O
URV = (Measurement length × Product S.G) – (Full length × Capillary S.G)
= (235 x 0.635) – (400 x 1.07) = 149.225 – 428
= – 278.775 mmH2O
The span is (Measurement length × Product S.G) = 149.225 mmH20
Note: This example is for onsite calibration without bringing down the
flange.

Example Calculation:
Equipments required
a) Leveltroll,
b) Multimeter digital
c) Transparent tube
For each 25% step subtract 121.5 Gram weight from hang weight.

Conventional transmitters
Analogue one-way signal
Only one variable.
A pair of cable to each instrument.
Conversion of mA signal to digital for I/O subsystem.
Formula:
Percentage, % = ((X-
4)/16)(100)
Where
X is current signal in ma
Example:
An electronic Pressure transmitter is ranged -1 to 5 Bar
and has a 4-20 ma. Calculate the Percentage output by
this transmitter if the measured output current is 13ma.
Percentage % = ((X-4)/16)(100)
= ((13-4)/16)(100)
= 56.25
2. Formula for percentage to 4-20ma Conversion
Formula:
Current (mA) = [(16ma)(X/100)]+4
Where “X” is desired percentage of
signal
Example:
calculate the ma for 40 % of signal
Current (mA) = (16 ma)(x/100)+4
= (16)(40/100)+4
= 10.4 ma
Formula:
Process Variable =
Span(X/100) +LRV
Span = (URV) – (LRV)
Where
X is Percentage of signal
URV is Upper Range of value
LRV is Lower range of value
Formula:
Percentage % = ((Process
Variable – LRV)/Span)(100)
Span = URV-LRV
Where
URV upper range value
LRV lower range value
Example:
An electronic Pressure transmitter is ranged -1 to 5 Bar and has
a 4-20 ma. Calculate the Percentage output by this transmitter
if the measured Pressure is 1 Bar
Span = 5 – (-1) = 6
Percentage % = ((Process variable – LRV)/Span)(100)
=((1-(-1))/6)(100) = 33.33 %.
5. 4-20 mA formulas and Examples
Example 3 :
A Flow transmitters output current is 16.5mA and its range is
0-1500 m3/hr. Calculate the equivalent flow rate value.
PV = ( (I − 4 ) / 16) × ( PVmax − PVmin ) + PVmin
PV = ( (16.5 − 4 ) / 16) × ( 1500 − 0 ) + 0
PV = 1171.87 m3/hr
Solution:
Put Values in Formula
PV – 0 = mA – 4
SPAN 16
SPAN = URV – LRV
SPAN = 50 – 0
SPAN = 50
PV – 0 = 0.5 * 50
PV = 0.5 * 50
PV = 25
Formula :
First calculate equivalent
percentage from the process
variable
Percentage = ( X – LRV / URV
– LRV ) . 100
Then calculate equivalent 4-
20mA signal from percentage
4-20mA = ( Percentage + 25 ) / 6.25
Formula :
First Calculate equivalent
Percentage from 4-20mA
signal
Percentage = (X * 6.25 ) – 25
Process Variable =
[(Percentage * (URV – LRV)
/100)] + LRV
Where,
X is 4-20mA signal
LRV is Lower Range Value
URV is Upper Range Value
Example :
A Temperature transmitter with a range of 0 to 250 deg C and
its output is 15.5 mA. Calculate equivalent temperature value.
Lower Range Value, LRV = 0
Upper Range Value, URV = 250
Output Current in range of 4-20mA, X = 15.5 mA
Percentage = ( X * 6.25 ) – 25 = (15.5 * 6.25) – 25 = 71.875 %
Formula:
Square root ma = {√ [(X-4)/16] }
.16 + 4
Where
X is Linear ma Value
Example:
Convert 12 ma linear to square root ma
Square root ma = {√ [(X-4)/16 ] } .16 + 4
= √ ((12-4)/16 ).16)+4
= 15.31 ma
Formula for Linear Percentage to Square root Percentage
conversion
Formula:
Square root % = Sqrt(X). (10)
Where
X is Linear Percentage Value
Example:
Convert 50 % linear to square root
Square root % = √X*10
= √50*10 = 70.71%
Where:
x dit = value in question (want to know)
dit min = minimum scale range in question
dit max = maximum scale range in question = 300PSI
x dik = value unknown
dik min = minimum scale of a range of known
dik max = maximum scale of the known range
Example:
A temperature transmitter with an input range +50 to 200 ° F
and output range is 4-20mA. what is the output if input
temperature is 61 ° F:
completion:
dit min = 4
dit max = 20
x dik = 61
dik min = 50
dik max = 200
Then:
Direct
Direct signal conversion allows
the signal to pass through the
accessed channel input value
(or the simulated value when
simulation is enabled)
PV = Channel Value
Indirect
Indirect signal
conversion converts the
signal linearly to the
accessed channel input
value (or the simulated
value when simulation
is enabled) from its
specified range
(XD_SCALE) to the range and units of the PV and OUT
parameters (OUT_SCALE).
Formulas:
EU = ((EUSpan x (DATA – DataOffset))/DataSpan) + EUOffset
ProcessValue = EU / FACTOR
DataOffset = Data in input register at 4 mA (or zero analog
signal of whatever range – for example 0 VDC on a 0-10 VDC
transmitter)
DataSPan = Data at 20 mA – Data @ 4 mA
FACTOR = arbitrary factor (multiple of 10) needed to get proper
resolution and accuracy
EU = Engineering Units x FACTOR
EUOffset = Engineering Units @ 4 mA x FACTOR
EUSpan = (Engineering Units @ 20 mA – Engineering Units @ 4
mA) x FACTOR
DATA = Actual data reading in input register
For Example,
