EXPLAIN HOW A MANOMETER CAN BE USED AS A SQUARE ROOT EXTRACTOR
WHEN MEASURING THE PRESSURE DIFFERENCES IN AN ORIFICE OR VENTURI ?

















We can t measure the flow value directly.

First create differential pressure in flow line using orifice,
annular pipe, venturi meter etc

Then measure the differential pressure using any differential pressure
transmitter take square root get flow value.

Flow value = Sq.Root (Diff Pressure)



Square root extractor

Meaning of a square root extractor This is a converter which calculates the square of
the input, and then outputs a signal. *-- Meaning of square root calculation --*
Normally, signals handled in instrumentation have linear characteristics
