Technique
(1) Fluctuation of differential, static pressures
Fluctuating components of differential, static pressures generally
decrease when an impulse line is blocked.
Fluctuating components are calculated as the square summation of
the difference of differential and static pressures that are sampled at
very short time intervals. The amplitudes of fluctuating components
are derived from the root of the square summation. Since these
components are affected by flowrate changes, they are provided as
fluctuation components through flowrate compensation.
Table1 shows the value of the fluctuating components when blocking
occurs on the Hi-side, Lo-side, and both sides. The values for when
no blocking occurs are also shown. When both sides of impulse lines
are blocked, all fluctuating components decrease. When one side of
an impulse line is blocked, the corresponding fluctuating component
decreases. In this case the fluctuating component of differential
pressure is larger than when no blockage occurs.
