AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating missing factors in process calibration, specifically using linear interpolation to determine unknown values based on given process ranges and signal readings. Participants seek clarification on how to apply these calculations, as the provided book lacks sufficient explanation. An example is presented, requiring the conversion of process ranges and output signals to find the missing temperature and flow values. The thread emphasizes the need for clear guidance on performing these calculations accurately. Overall, understanding linear interpolation is crucial for resolving the missing factors in process calibration.

Can some one please explain how to do this. i want to understand how to do this and the book really doesn't explain it.

Convert the following to find the missing factors in the items below.

Process Range-----Output Signal-----Current Process Reading--Current Signal Reading
Example 0-50 PSIG----- 4-20 mA----- 25 PSI ----------------------12 mA
1 200-800 F------ 4-20 mA ------ _____F --------------- -----14 mA
2 0-1000 GPM------ 4-20 mA ------ 250 GPM----------------------__mA
3 100-300 PSI---- 3-15 PSI ------ _____PSI ------------------ 6 PSI

Hint: try linear interpolation.

Can you explain what you think the question is asking you to do here?
