Range limit Calculation for Gases
To obtain the operating density

x =
density of the gas at normal and operating conditions respectively.
Pn, Px = pressure of the gas in absolute units at normal and operating conditions respectively.
Tn, Tx = temperature of the gas in Kelvin at normal and operating conditions respectively.
To obtain operating volumetric flow from normalized volumetric flow and vice-versa, following equation is used.
Qn = Qx

Where : Qn and Qx are the normalized and operating volumetric flow rates respectively. The ratio of
compressibility factors is assumed to be equal to 1.
The operating data of the process medium must be known in order to calculate the measuring range.

Range limit Calculation for Saturated Vapour
In the same way as for gases, use the above equations to establish the range limits for the volume flowrate. Refer to
vapour tables for the appropriate density, and calculate the volume flowrate from the mass flowrate. Check the
range limits if operating parameters change.
