The discussion centers on calculating the percent span for a reactor pressure transmitter after a set point adjustment from 160 psig to 190 psig. The recalibration of the transmitter from a range of 0-200 psig to 0-300 psig results in a calculated percent span of 63%. The span is defined as the operational range relative to the calibration range, which is crucial for understanding pressure measurement in reactor systems.
PREREQUISITESProcess engineers, instrumentation technicians, and anyone involved in the calibration and operation of pressure measurement systems in industrial settings.
How does one define the span?jim1174 said:In order to increase production rate a reactor set point was increased from 160 psig to 190 psig. The reactor pressure transmitter was recalibrated from 0-200psig to 0-300 psig what is the percent span for old and new set points. Can you please explain to me how to find the answer. The book says the answer is 63 percent.
