I need to determine flow based on loss of weight from a load cell. I know the volume of the tank.
tank is 6 x 6 x 6 which is 216 cu/ft
This means there is approx 1616 gallon of material
A gallon is 8.34 lbs so we have 13411 lbs of material
so there is 6 x 12" = 72" 13411 / 72 = is approx 182 lbs
per inch.
so for every loss of 182 lbs we have approx 21 gallons of flow
So what i need is a calculation that take the loss of weight
calculates the flow in lbs and if the flow does not change
within a given dead band sets an alarm
Anyone have a calculation
Thanks
