Entering Parameters for Clamp-On Transducers
(cont.)
3C.Entering 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:
a. Use the [←] [→] keys to view all the pipe material choices.
See Table 3-3 on the next page or the available materials.
b. Press the appropriate feature key to choose the desired
materials.
c. Depending on the pipe material choice, the TransPort may
ask for further information. See Table 3-3 on the next page
for the various pipe materials available. If required, press
the appropriate feature key to choose the desired material.
