After selecting a pipe class:

To access the pipe size option list press the <RightArrow>.

To scroll to the required pipe press the <Up/Down Arrows>.

To register selection press <ENTER>.

6.2.3 HOW TO ENTER THE PIPE OD (in. or mm.)

Use this menu cell to edit the pipe outer diameter. Be aware that you will not be able to complete the

transducer installation successfully unless this information is accurate. In addition, if you change this

parameter on a previously installed site, you will have to repeat the transducer installation. Note: Use

actual pipe dimensions, not ASA code or any other standard. The English/Metric selection in the Meter

Facilities menu determines whether these dimensions are in inches or millimeters.

To enter the Pipe OD:

To enable numeric entry press the <Right Arrow>.

Use the PC numeric keys or KeyPad to enter the exact outer diameter of the pipe in inches or

millimeters.

To register the Pipe OD press <ENTER>.

The pipe material selection affects flow calibration to a small degree. It also influences the meter-

generated transducer size and spacing recommendations. Select a substitute material if you do not

find the material of your pipe in the pipe table. You can edit each pipe parameter to achieve a closer

match. If you change any pipe parameters, after running the Transducer Install procedure, you may

have to re-space the transducers. The [Pipe Material] option list provides a selection of common pipe

materials. The default pipe material is Steel. Press the <Down Arrow> to accept the default setting for

this menu cell.

To select a Pipe Material:

To access the [Pipe Material] option list press the <Right Arrow>.

To scroll to the required pipe material press the <Up/Down Arrows>.

To register selection press <ENTER>.

The wall thickness of the pipe is one of the required parameters. The flow computer needs this data to

generate accurate transducer size and spacing data recommendations.

Selecting a pipe class/size inserts a wall thickness value. If this data is inaccurate, then use this menu

cell to set the pipe's wall thickness (in English or Metric data units).
