What is square root extraction?

Square Root Extraction is a mathematical process which is applied to a linear measurement scale to convert it to a non-linear square root scale. The square root scale is generated by taking the square root of the ratio between measurement reading and full span.

What is square root in flow transmitter?

What is the transmitter square root function and why you should use it? It is a function on differential pressure (DP) transmitters that calculates the process flow using differential pressure readings.

Why use square root extractor?

Why use a square root extractor? The flow rate along a closed pipe is directly proportional to the square root of the pressure drop across a measuring device e.g. orifice plate, in the pipe, and it is estimated that around 50% of all flow measuring applications still use differential pressure to infer flow rate.
