WHY WE NOT USE 2-20mA,1-20mA,3-20mA or 10-50mA SIGNAL?
INSTEAD OF 4-20mA.

Answer Posted / mike betts

I am not sure why the range of 16mA i.e 20 - 4, but the 4mA
starting is so that you have a posative value of current for
all values that the loop current represents. This way, if
you have no current at all, the loop is open circuit for
some reason.

Calculate the maximum pressure drop that can be allowed to occur across a control valve, so that we can prevent cavitation / flashing from occurring. Use the following formula: Δ P allow = Km (P1 – PvapourA) where, Δ P allow - the maximum allowable differential pressure for sizing purposes, or terminal pressure drop; Km- the valve recovery coefficient from the manufacturer’s catalogue; P1 - absolute inlet fluid pressure; PvapourA - absolute fluid vapour pressure at the inlet temperature; Use Atmospheric pressure = 101.3 kPa, P1 = 1200 kPa(g), PvapourA = 4 kPa, KM = 0.72
