6C.Entering Pipe Lining
The next prompt asks you to enter the pipe lining material.
Clamp-on transducers can be used on pipes with a variety of pipe
linings; however, only a few are among the available options. If
your lining is not among the options, select “OTHER” and enter
the sound speed of your lining material from the tables in Sound
Speeds and Pipe Size Data.
a. Press:
• [F1] to respond no if your pipe does not have a lining and
the TransPort proceeds to Step 7C.
• [F2] if your pipe does have a lining. Use the appropriate
feature key to choose the lining material.
Note: If you choose “OTHER,” the TransPort then asks you to
enter the lining sound speed. If you do not know the lining
sound speed, Sound Speeds and Pipe Size Data lists some
standard materials and their corresponding sound speeds.
b. Use the numeric keys to enter the lining thickness. Press
[ENT].
7C. Selecting Tracking Windows
Tracking windows are used to detect the receive signal when you
are unsure of the fluid soundspeed.
• Press [F1] if you do not want a tracking window, or
• Press [F2] if you want to enable the windows.
Note: Consult GE Panametrics before using this feature.
