Figure 4-6. Remote capillary
L
min
= the minimum level of process and typically the 4mA lower range value
L
max
= the maximum level of process and typically the 20mA upper range
value
SG = Specific gravity of the process
Sg = Specific gravity of the remote fill fluid
Hd = Capillary vertical distance going to high side sensor
Ld = Capillary vertical distance going to low side sensor
Tank span = (L
max
x SG)
Example C
Tank Span: 108in X 0.75 = 81inH

4mA = L
min
x SG + (Hd x Sg) + (Ld x Sg)
= (0 x 0.75) + (60 in. x 0.934) + (180 in. x 0.934)
= -112.08 inH

NOTE
Pressure (Ld) is applied to Low sensor side and will register as a negative
digital pressure. Pressure (Hd) is pulling down on the high sensor side
therefore would also register as a negative digital pressure therefore these
values are additive.
20mA = L
max
x SG + (Hd X 0.934) + (Ld X 0.934)
= (108 in. x 0.75) + (-112.08)
= -31.08 inH

NOTE
Silicone 200 has a specific gravity of 0.934.
NOTE
The transmitter location in a closed tank does not effect the 4mA and 20mA
set points as shown in example A, B & C.
