Convert 50 % linear to square root 50 12
Square root % = √X*10 75 16
100 20
Square root % = √50*10

Square root % = 70.71% Convert Linear mA to Square root mA:

Linear → Sq Rt 4-20mA Conversion
Formula to Calculate 4-20ma from Percentage The following formula can be used for converting a linea

Current (mA) = [(16 ma)(X/100)]Output

+ 4 SqRt = 4mA + (4 x √ (OutputLinear – 4mA))
