7.4.2 Calculation of the insertion depth
The insertion depth I can be determinated using the following formula:
I = –
Di
8
In order to precisely set the insertion depth, it is possible to use the control value M
1
:
M
1
= L - S - –
Di
8
Where:
L = Flowmeter length = 367mm
Di = Internal pipe diameter
S = Thickness of the pipe, including possible coating

L = 367
