Instrumentation & Calibration
Signal scaling, calibration checks and field verification for instrumentation work.
Convert loop current to percentage of span and engineering units, or calculate the expected mA from a process value.
Convert a standard pneumatic control signal between psi and percentage output without hiding underrange or overrange conditions.
Evaluate 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% points against a defined tolerance in percentage of calibrated span.
Calculate signed error in engineering units and percentage of span, with a clear pass/fail result against tolerance.
Convert Pt100 temperature and resistance on the IEC 60751 nominal curve, with AA/A/B/C tolerance context and construction-specific validity.
Check supply voltage, external loop resistance, transmitter terminal voltage and compliance margin for a two-wire current loop.
Check sensor limits, configured LRV/URV, span and current rangedown/turndown against an optional manufacturer minimum span.
Estimate 2-wire lead-resistance temperature error or the residual error caused by unequal leads in an idealized 3-wire Pt100 measurement.
Convert NIST ITS-90 reference temperature and EMF for Types J, K, T and N, including practical cold-junction compensation.
Convert the conventional electro-pneumatic I/P signal between 4–20 mA and 3–15 psi while preserving useful underrange/overrange information.
Map a 4–20 mA or 3–15 psi command to expected valve travel for an explicitly stated increasing-signal action and compare actual travel when available.
Evaluate five-point upscale/downscale valve travel, positioner error and directional travel difference against user- or OEM-defined acceptance limits.
Estimate command-signal deadband from a controlled direction-reversal test without confusing deadband with static hysteresis or valve fail action.
Compare measured 4 mA and 20 mA endpoints, quantify zero offset, output-span error and endpoint error without prescribing the wrong trim operation.
Generate defensible DP, ideal-flow and 4–20 mA five-point references depending on whether square-root extraction is performed in the transmitter or the control system.
Compare a sourced 4–20 mA signal with measured loop current or HMI/DCS/PLC engineering-unit readback and report signed error in percentage of span.
Pressure, Level & Process
Core pressure, level, differential-pressure and process conversions.
Convert common oil-and-gas pressure units through an SI pascal basis while keeping the pressure datum unchanged.
Convert liquid head and specific gravity to hydrostatic pressure, or pressure back to equivalent level.
Calculate LRV, URV and span for conventional dry-leg or wet-leg DP level installations.
Scale differential pressure to flow, or flow back to DP, for an already-defined DP primary-element range.
Convert actual volumetric flow and average velocity from circular-pipe internal diameter using Q = vA, with gas line-condition limitations stated explicitly.
Calculate Reynolds number and screen laminar, transitional or turbulent internal pipe flow from velocity, diameter and fluid viscosity.
Calculate the Darcy/Moody friction factor using 64/Re for laminar flow or iterative Colebrook-White for turbulent flow, with transitional flow left explicit.
Estimate major friction pressure loss in a straight circular pipe using Darcy-Weisbach, actual flow, fluid properties and explicit roughness input.
Calculate local pressure loss from a supplied total loss coefficient, or infer an effective K-value from a known pressure loss and actual flow.
Convert between a Darcy-based local loss coefficient and equivalent straight-pipe length using an explicit friction factor and pipe ID.
Well Testing & Production
Field calculations for oil, water, gas and production-test reporting.

Calculate liquid residence/retention time from an effective separator liquid holdup volume and liquid flow rate.
Apply a stated BS&W percentage to a measured liquid volume, with optional separately gauged free water and no hidden temperature, pressure or shrinkage correction.
Metering
Meter factors, pulse scaling and petroleum measurement properties with the calculation basis stated explicitly.
Calculate prover/reference-to-meter factor or apply an established factor to an indicated liquid volume, with correction-basis limits stated explicitly.
Convert meter pulses and volume using the meter-specific K-factor in pulses per stated volume unit.
