Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Measured Flow Rate = 0.024
- Designed Flow Rate = 0.025
Expected Result:
- Hydraulic Balance Deviation Index = 4
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Hydraulic Balance Deviation Index = 4 %.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
