After selecting a pipe class:
To access the pipe size option list press
To scroll to the required pipe press
To register selection press
5.2.3 HOW TO ENTER THE PIPE OD (in. or mm.)
Use this menu cell to edit the pipe outer diameter. Be aware that you will not be able to complete the
transducer installation successfully unless this information is accurate. In addition, if you change this
parameter on a previously installed site, you will have to repeat the transducer installation.
Note: Use
actual pipe dimensions, not ASA code or any other standard . The English/Metric selection in the
Meter Facilities menu determines whether these dimensions are in inches or millimeters.
To enter the Pipe OD:
To enable numeric entry press
Use the numeric keys or Magnetic Wand to enter the exact outer diameter of the pipe in inches
or millimeters.
To register the Pipe OD press
5.2.4 HOW TO SELECT A PIPE MATERIAL
The pipe material selection affects flow calibration to a small degree. It also influences the meter-gener-
ated transducer size and spacing recommendations. Select a substitute material if you do not find the
material of your pipe in the pipe table. You can edit each pipe parameter to achieve a closer match. If you
change any pipe parameters, after running the Transducer Install procedure, you may have to re-space
the transducers. The Pipe Material option list provides a selection of common pipe materials. The default
pipe material is Steel. Press the <Down Arrow> to accept the default setting for this menu cell.
To select a Pipe Material:
To access the [Pipe Material] option list press
To scroll to the required pipe material press
To register selection press
5.2.5 HOW TO ENTER THE WALL THICKNESS
The wall thickness of the pipe is one of the required parameters. The flow computer needs this data
to generate accurate transducer size and spacing data recommendations. Selecting a pipe class/size
inserts a wall thickness value. If this data is inaccurate, then use this menu cell to set the pipe’s wall
thickness (in English or Metric data units).
NOTE: Do not use ASA schedule code to specify the wall thickness. You must enter actual di-
mensions. We recommend that you use a thickness gauge to obtain an accurate dimen-
sion.
