The following information is required for a successful setup:
• Sound velocity of the liquid
• Operating temperature
• Pipe circumference or pipe outer diameter
• Sound velocity of the pipe material
• Wall thickness
• Sound velocity of the lining material (if present)
• Thickness of the lining (if present)
• Sensor type
• Sensor arrangement (direct or reflection mode)
• Length of the sensor cable
The relative sensor positions and the proportionality factor (meter factor) are determined
from these application-specific data.
The functionality of the device is ensured by correctly specifying the sound velocity of the
liquid, the nominal diameter of the pipe, the sensor type and the sensor arrangement,
provided the unit is mounted correctly.
The correct information for the sensor cable length and the wall and liner thickness
primarily affect the quality of the measurement.
