why we use 4-20 mA to do calibration of the instruments.why
we cant use 0-20 mA?

Answer Posted / naresh yadav

Module require 1-5 v for further processing thats why we
use 4 - 20 mA because with 250 ohms resistance we can
easily convert 4 - 20 mA into 1 - 5 V

.04 A x 250 ohms = 1 V
.2 A x 250 ohms = 5 V

if we use 0 - 20 mA it converts 0 - 5 v but we required 1 -
5 v for further processing in module.

Why does a pressure gauge installed on reactor, doesn't have any vent line below to release the pressure? Is it any kind of designing mistake or it actually does not require any vent line? And if it does not require any vent line below it then how we are gonna release the pressure built inside the pressure gauge?
