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.
