C203 – Flow rate Totalisation Check

Description

This calculation is used for a totalisation check, flow rates are integrated with respect to time.

References

Kelton calculation reference C203

Options

Elapsed Time

  • Duration
  • Start and end time

Select a method of entering the elapsed.

Flow rates

Flow rates q can be entered for any of the following quantities

  • Mass
  • Observed volume
  • Standard volume
  • Normal volume
  • Energy

Totals

  • Use start and end totals

This option is used to input 2 totals and find the incremental total between the start and end totals.

Calculations

Calculate the elapsed time

If start and end time is selected for the time input:

Where
te = The time at the end of the test
ts = The time at the start of the test

Calculate the total

The total is calculated by multiplying the flow rate by the duration

Where
t = Duration
q = Flow rate

Note: The units will correspond to the flow rate, for example a mass value will be returned for a mass flow rate and a volume returned for a volume flow rate.
