7.3.7 Measuring mode "Flow rate"
Description
When you activate the "Flow rate" measuring mode, only two other device variables are active:
volumetric flow and mass flow rate. If another block was active earlier, the corresponding
device variables remain inactive and have the "CONSTANT" status. The "Flow rate" block here
represents a series of permanently interconnected functions which you need to configure with
appropriate parameters.

Functions of the "Flow rate" block
The "Input scaling, pressure" function defines the pressure range of 0 to 2 bar that is interpreted
as 0 and 100% by the following square root extracting function. A process pressure of 0.5 bar
has been assumed in the following figure.
In the "Flow rate" measuring mode, a square root extracting characteristic curve "srlin2" is
plotted with a fixed root application point of 10%.
In the calculation example, the input value for the "square root extracting function" is
approximately 25% at a process pressure of 0.5 bar. The output value is approximately
50%.
