Why the industry's standard current standards are from 4mA to
20mA,not from 0mA or any other range?

Answer / fidelis
This is for the purpose of identifying a fault either in
the instrument or in the control loop. If there is a fault
in an instrument, the reading on that instrument will be
zero as when the transmitter is not reading any data due to
maybe a broken loop, so one may not be able to tell what
the problem is. But with the 4-20mA standard, it will be
simple to tell if the transmiter is faulty or not. This
makes trouble-shooting easy.

Answer / pramod
if we are using a transmitter there is defenite distance is
specified for it. if we dont have at least 4mA the signals
will be loss for the max. defined distance.
The mA is chosen because it will not make more electrical
hazardness in the field instead of that if micro A is used
loss of signal may occure.
By taking base as 4mA by persentage means 20 mA set as max
value

Why we use 3-15 psi air for control valve input?
Why we use 4 to 20 mA, (This is International Standard) instaed of this can we use 4-16, or 4-24 or 3- 15 or any other range
If a differential pressure transmitter is calibrated for 0~2500 mmH2o and transmits a 4~20mA dc signal. The transmitter is placed across an orifice plate which is sized to create 2500 mmH2o differential at 5000m3/Hr a) what is the flow rate when the transmitter signal is 13.0mA DC? b) what is the signal output of the transmitter when flow rate is 2500 m3/Hr ?
