The Thickness Transducer - Siemens SITRANS F Operating Instructions Manual

Section 8
The graphic screen can reveal pipe flaws that could affect the thickness readings. This may be evident
if the cursor locks onto a signal envelope before the main cluster (see below).

(indicated by irregular amplitude patterns), consider taking preventative action to avoid a possible pipe
wall fracture.

THE THICKNESS TRANSDUCER

Pipe wall thickness measurement requires the 1011TS thickness gauge transducer. If you have a
1010WDP you will need the 1015AT adapter (see the figures below and on the next page). The 1011TS
transducer connects to the Channel 1 transducer inputs of both the 1010P and 1010WDP series flow
computers. Connect the BNC cable labeled [UP] to the Channel 1 [XMIT] terminal. Connect the BNC
cable labeled [RCV] to Channel 1 [DN] connector on the flow computer.
To connect the 1011TS to a 1010P flow computer:
