K-factor (aeronautics)
For aircraft fuel Flow measurement, flow meters, K-factor refers to the number of pulses expected for every one volumetric unit of fluid passing through a given flow meter, and is usually encountered when dealing with Pulse (signal processing), pulse signals.Calculating and Using K-Factors
Pressure sensor, Pressure and Thermometer, temperature sensors providing pulses can be used to determine mass flow, with division of the pulses by the K-factor, or multiplication with the inverse of the K-factor providing factored totalization, and rate indication. Furthermore, by dividing the pulse rate by the K-Factor, the volumetric throughput per unit time of the rate of flow can be determined.
