5.8 Attaching the BioProTT
TM
Clamp-On to the Tube
In order to be able to measure the flow inside the tube, the BioProTT
TM
Clamp-On must be clamped onto the
tube. For more information regarding the BioProTT
TM
Clamp-On, please refer to the respective user manual.
•
Before you clamp on the sensor, make sure that the tube is not deformed, damaged, or
dirty.
•
Air in the tube can lead to errors in the measurement or interrupt the acoustic coupling.
•
Ensure that there is no residue or dirt in the flow channel.
First, make sure that the arrow on the lid aligns with the flow direction (positive flow display). Then, to clamp
on the BioProTT
TM
Clamp-On, follow the steps illustrated below:
Figure 11: Attaching the BioProTT
TM
Clamp-On to the tube
1.
Open the spring-loaded lock and swing back the lid.
2.
Insert the tube into the channel.
3.
Close the BioProTT
TM
Clamp-On lid and secure it with the help of the spring-loaded lock.
•
To avoid flow turbulances and associated measurement inaccuracies, it is necessary for the
tube to be straight in the area near the BioProTT
TM
Clamp-On.
•
Do not use any force when closing the sensor lid; while the tube should be fixed within the
channel, it must not be crammed into it as this might affect the measurement values or
damage the sensor.
•
Ensure that the lid is fully closed as to avoid fluctuating coupling and flow values.
•
Ideally, the tube should be straight for a distance of 15 x the ID of the tube on either side
of the sensor.
