Application Problems Tab
1. If any of your entered application parameters conflict with performance capabilities of
the FS230 flowmeter an “Application Problem” message will appear at the bottom of
the sizing screen; this will cause an additional tab to open [Application Problems] (See
Figure 6-8 below). Click on the tab to view a description of the conflict(s). If no conflicts
are present the tab will not appear.

2. A list of possible application conflicts and corrective actions appear in Table 4.1 below.
Application Warning
Corrective Action
Pipe diameter too small for selected sensor.
Allow FS200 to specify sensor
Flow velocity exceeds limit of installation.
Programmed (Max) Flow too high verify entered value
Accuracy limitation at minimum velocity.
Programmed Min Flow below 1 FPS
Temperature above sensor limits.
Specified temperature exceeds 250F / 121C
Temperature below sensor limits.
Specified temperature below -40F/C
Poor sensor match to pipe wall.
Incorrect sensor selection, allow FS200 to select
Poor diameter-to-wall thickness ratio.
Pipe OD to wall ratio <10 to 1, may reduce performance
Excessive wall thickness.
Wall Thickness >1.25” Require Universal sensor
Pipe diameter must be greater than 1 inch / 25.4mm Pipe OD must be greater than 1”/ 25.4mm for gas
Pressure may be too low for clamp-on.
Specified pressure below minimum, increase pressure
Carbon dioxide mole % too high.
CO2 mole % must be <10%
H2S mole % to high.
H2S mole% must be <20%
