7. CALCULATION FORMULAS
7.1 Conversion to Mass Units (Total mass flow)
In saturated steam calculation, the temperature and pressure fed to the instrument are used in our
proprietary formula of approximation to determine speci
fi
c weight V", from which conversion is performed
with respect to the

7.2 Conversion to Calorific Value (Total calorific flow)
Similar to obtaining the speci
fi
c weight above, speci
fi
c enthalpy h is determined and, based on mass
conversion value W, calori
fi
c conversion is performed.
