Pitot factor
Enter the value „Pitot factor“.
Please take the value from the documentation of the used Pitot tube.
Damping (T90/s)
With this parameter you can set the averaging time of the pressure sen-
sor. The unit is the time in seconds needed for a 90% change.
Calculation
Molar mass
The molar mass of a gas depends on the gas proportions.
This will be calculated on the equation 1
Equation 1: molar mass
M =
0.00001* (32*[O

[O2]: oxygen in [%]
[CO2]: carbon dioxide in [%]
[CH4]: methane in [%]
[H2O]: water in [%]
[N2]: nitrogen in [%]
