EXAMPLE:
Square root dropout
To avoid unstable output at readings near zero, the ST 3000 transmitter automatically drops square root
conformity and changes to linear conformity for low differential pressure readings. As shown in Figure 26,
the point is near 0.5% of input for ST 3000 transmitters.

If you have a differential pressure transmitter with a range of 0 to 100 inches of water
with an input of 49 inches of water, substituting into the previous formulas yields:
49
100 • 100 = 49%
49%
100 • 100 = 70% Flow, and
70% • 16 + 4 = 15.2 mA dc Output
