I need to measure the volume of water used in during water intake phase of a CIP (washing program) in order to insure that there is a specific amount of water in the system before starting the circulation pump.
Unfortunately my controller doesn't have high speed input for the flowmeter's pule output so I'm thinking of getting the 4-20mA version of the flowmeter.
Characteristic line formula for current output of flowmeter is:
QV = KI * (IOUT - 4 mA)
Where:
QV Volume flow rate [l/min]
KI Coefficient current output [(l/min) / f]
IOUT Current [mA]
Is it possible to calculate the total volume?
For example if I need to close the water valve when there is exactly 30l of water in the circuit.
