THE PIPE DATA MENU

This menu becomes available after picking a Meter Type, Measurement Channel and Measurement
Technology. We recommend that you edit the Pipe Data immediately after creating a new Site Setup.
The Pipe Data menu allows you to define the application's pipe parameters. Select a pipe from one of
the meter's stored pipe tables (see menu structure below); or input the pipe size and description
manually. Manual entries include Pipe Material, Outer Diameter (OD) and pipe Wall Thickness. Liner
Material and Liner Thickness entries are included to support pipes with liners. The meter requires the
pipe outer diameter (OD) and wall thickness to operate. You must define these parameters to com-
plete the installation.
The pipe table includes descriptions for over sixty standard pipes plus any user-entered pipes (see
Meter Facilities). To use these presets, first pick a Pipe Class (e.g., ASA Stainless Steel), then pick a
pipe size within that class (e.g., 4SS10). When you select a particular pipe class/size, the relevant
pipe parameters appear in the Pipe Data menu cells. If a given pipe class/size does not match your
application exactly you can still edit each individual parameter to fine-tune your selection. In addition,
the Meter Facilities section of the Installation Menu provides a pipe table editor that allows you to
customize any or all of the stored pipe tables.
NOTE: If you edit the pipe parameters after the system is operating, you will have to repeat
the transducer install procedure.
