A.2.3 Dual Entry Point Method
Refer to Section 3.6, page 15 and fit a second mounting boss directly opposite the one already fitted.
1.
Insert the flow sensor to a depth of
1
/
8
the pipe diameter through the original mounting boss.
2.
Calculate the insertion factor.
3.
Refer to the relevant user guide* and enter a Insertion Factor of value equal to F
i
.
4.
Record the flow velocity reading.
5.
Insert the flow sensor to a depth of
1
/
8
the pipe diameter through the second mounting boss.
6.
Record the flow velocity reading.
7.
Calculate the ratio of the two values recorded
– if the calculated ratio is between 0.95 and 1.05, the flow profile is acceptable and the procedure
detailed in Section 5.2, page 22 can be used
or
– if the calculated ratio is
not
between 0.95 and 1.05, re-site the flow sensor for optimum accuracy
*WaterMaster FET1 (OI/FET100-EN) or AquaMaster3 FET2 (OI/FET200-EN)
A.3 Full Velocity Profile
For installations with very poor and asymmetric velocity profiles (for example as rejected in Section A.2.2,
page 29) a full velocity profile provides an improved accuracy of reading. To facilitate this ABB have
developed
ScrewDriver
software for the PC that calculates F
i
and F
p
for any measured velocity profile – see
IM/SDR section 'ABB Flow Profiling'.
Note.
Due to software configuration, all calculations are in metric units. Therefore if using an imperial
pipe, the diameter
MUST
be converted into millimeters (1 in = 25.4 mm, for example, a 36 in. pipe = 914
mm).
