Calculate the equivalent Percentage for any given Process variable. For conversion, we need transmitter Lower Range Value and Upper Range Value.

Contents
Process Variable to Percentage ConversionPercentage %  =   ((Process Variable – LRV)/Span)(100)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 BarArticles You May Like :

Process Variable to Percentage Conversion

Formula for Process Variable to Percentage Conversion

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)

Percentage % =((1-(-1))/6)(100)

Percentage % = 33.33 %
