Linear to Square Root Extraction
Some pressure measurements are used to indirectly derive another type of measurand. One of these is the Rate of Flow of a gas or liquid. The flow rate along a...
Calculate Temperature Coefficient of RTD
RTD’s are based on the principle that the resistance of a metal increases with temperature. The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) for resistance temperature detectors (denoted by αo), is normally defined as the...
Relationship between Temperature Scales
