    Its transducers can be mounted to a pipe within a matter of minutes, and flow measurements may be made without interrupting the flow or modifying pipe work. The DCT7088 can be configured using an integral keypad for entering variables such as pipe size, pipe material, wall thickness, and fluid type (refer to Section 3, page 8).

    ..V method 4.4-A: V M IGURE OUNT 4.4.2 W Method In many instances, flowmeter performance on small metallic pipes with outer diameters of 4 inches (100 millimeters) or less can be improved by using the W mounting method (Figure 4.4-B, below). With the W method, the sound wave traverses the fluid 4 times and bounces off the pipe walls 3 times.

  • Page 44: Z Method

    4.4.3 Z Method The signal transmitted in a Z method installation has less attenuation than a signal transmitted with the V method. This is because the Z method utilizes a directly transmitted (rather than reflected) signal which transverses the liquid only once. The Z method (Figure 4.4-C, below) is used primarily in applications where the V method cannot work due to signal attenuation from excessive air or solids in the liquid, thick scale, poorly bonded linings, or very large pipes.

Refer to Figure 4.4-J (below), and use a level to ensure that the line is level with the top of the pipe. The line should be at least 3 inches (76 millimeters) longer than the transducer spacing calculated by UltraScan.
  • Page 46 ..Z method 12. Wrap the paper firmly back on the pipe. Have the point where the ends of the paper come together line up with the horizontal line on the 3 o’clock side of the pipe.
