Entering Parameters for Wetted Transducers (cont.)
Note: If you have selected the energy option, only three fluid
types will appear on the menu: water, mixed (water, glycol
mixture) and other. If you select “OTHER,” the TransPort
prompts you to enter the sound speed of the fluid.
If you have enabled the tracking windows, you may choose the
following:
• Water, 0-100° C
• Water, 0-260° C
• Oil
• Other — Enter sound speed (c3) limits
Use the appropriate feature key to make a choice. Depending on
the fluid type you choose, the TransPort may ask you for
additional information.
8W. Entering the Reynolds Correction Factor
The Reynolds Correction Factor is a number based on the
Kinematic Viscosity and flow rate of the fluid. Generally, it
should only be enabled when using transducers mounted in a
diametrical path (such as clamp-on or tilted diameter).
If you enable the Reynolds Correction Factor, you will also need
to enter the Kinematic Viscosity of the fluid (units are ft
2
/sec or
m
2
/sec depending on the units selected). Refer to Sound Speeds
and Pipe Size Data for the Kinematic Viscosity of your fluid.
a. Press:
• [F1] to disable the Reynolds Factor.
• [F2] to enable it.
b. Enter the Kinematic Viscosity. The default value is for
water at 20°C. Press [ENT].
