IMPORTANT: Because the units cannot be independently chosen for
this parameter, the value must be entered in the same
units used for the pipe OD.
If the pipe wall thickness is not available, look up the value in a table
of standard pipe size data or use the Model GF868's on-line Help
Menu (see the Programming Manual for details).

will only accept values from 1/8 to 900 in.)
Note: GE Panametrics has calculated both the transducer signal
path length (P) and the transducer signal axial length
based on the exact transducer configuration used for the
application. These values are engraved on the flowcell and/or
are included in the documentation supplied with the meter.
