Entering Special Transducer Pipe Parameters A-5
December 2003
Entering Parameters for Clamp-On Transducers
(cont.)
7C. Entering the Pipe Material
Enter the pipe material. Since clamp-on transducers send their
ultrasonic signals through the pipe wall, the sound speed of the
pipe material must be factored in to obtain an accurate flow
measurement. Clamp-on transducers are applicable on a variety
of pipe materials, only a few of which are among the options for
this prompt. If your pipe material is not among the options, select
“OTHER” and enter the sound speed of your pipe material from
the tables in Sound Speeds and Pipe Size Data (914-004).
Use the following steps to enter the pipe material:
1. Use the [←] [→] keys to view all the pipe material categories.
See Table A-1 for the available categories.
2. Press the appropriate feature key to choose the desired
category.
3. Depending on the pipe material choice, the TransPort asks you
to choose a specific material. Use the arrow keys to view all
the pipe materials. See Table A-1 for available options.
Note: If you choose brass, copper, or aluminum, skip to the next
step, Entering the Outside Diameter of the Pipe.
4. Press the appropriate feature key to choose the desired
material.
