Small Pipe Applications
In this section, small pipe applications refer to the following pipe sizes:
Small Pipe
Applications
●
Stainless steel or brass: 1.0 to 3.5 inches (25.4 to 88.9 mm)
●
PVC, carbon steel, or other: 1.0 to 2.5 inches (25.4 to 63.5 mm)
If signal strength is greater than 10%, we recommend the W mounting
method for pipe sizes 3.5 inches (63.5mm) or smaller and the WW
mounting method for pipe sizes 2.0 inches (50.8 mm) or smaller.
The pipe curve effect on small pipe applications can cause multipath signals
and measurement uncertainty. Removing extra compound along the
transducer sides can eliminate the side wave paths as seen in Figure 2–21
below.
To eliminate these side wave paths, apply coupling compound as usual on
to the coupling surfaces, and clamp the transducers onto the pipe. Use a
pen-sized, standard screwdriver to remove the extra grease between the
transducers and the pipe.
Figure
2–21.
Effect of extra compound on small pipes
For high temperature or outdoor small pipe applications, use the foam tape
strips shipped with the flowmeter to block the side wave paths. Other tape
materials generally do not satisfy performance or safety specifications.
Please contact Thermo Fisher when more tape strips are needed.
Apply the foam tape strips according to the steps below.
1.
Wipe grease off the coupling surfaces of both transducers. Clean the
surfaces with detergent and let dry.
2.
Draw two lines on each transducer surface with a pencil so that the
band defined by the lines is in the middle of the surface. The spacing
between the two lines should be as shown in the following table.
