For a 1 kg/cm2 pressure variation in the Gas Pressure , the ERROR in the
NORMALIZED FLOWRATE will be close to 21%.
If this is acceptable then WHY METER THE GAS FLOW ????
The following example explains the same :Gas flow is approximately 1000 m3/ hr with the Pressure varying between 2.5 to 3.5
kg/cm2(g)
Considering that the VOLUMETRIC FLOW is constant at 1000 m3/hr with the pressure
varying between 2.5 to 3.5 kg/cm2(g), then the meter in each case will READ , as per the
following table , which indicates the results in

*** The DPT Based system may be calibrated at a fixed Gas pressure of 2.5 kg/cm2(g),
then the readings will be inaccurate by 21 % of a simple 1 kg/cm2 change in the Gas
Pressure.
