    (See 3.10 - Read Flow - Attach sensors). KROHNE cannot guarantee measuring flows below this range because of instabilities in measuring, but it is possible for the user to cancel any cut-off altogether.

The user can set this as a % in the same way as the calibration factor, but it will not be stored in the memory.
  • Page 42 This is the sound speed of the fluid calculated using the data entered by the user and the prop measurement. This value may be subject to errors due to small pipe dimension errors especially on smaller pipes. KROHNE recommend the use of tabulated values (See 6.9).

  • Page 44: Other Messages

    5.3.2 W2: Signal timing poor Unstable signal timing or differing up/down stream times indicate that the liquid is aerated or pipe surface is of poor quality. 5.3.3 W3: No prop signal This occurs when the fixed transducer is unable to transmit and receive a signal across the pipe, for the same reasons as explained in E2.

  • Page 47: Application Information

    APPLICATION INFORMATION The UFM 610 P is a Transit Time ultrasonic flowmeter that has been designed to work with Clamp On transducers, thus enabling liquid flowing within a closed pipe to be measured accurately without the need for any mechanical parts to be inserted either through the pipe wall or protrude into the flow system.

  • Page 48: Transducer

    When ultrasound is transmitted from Transducer “X” to Transducer “Y” (REFLEX MODE) or Transducer “X” to “Z” (DIAGONAL MODE) the speed at which the sound travels through the liquid is accelerated slightly by the velocity of the liquid. If sound is transmitted in the opposite direction from “Y” to “X” or “Z” to “X”, it is decelerated because it is travelling against the flow of the liquid.

  • Page 49: Mounting The Transducers

    INCORRECT CORRECT FLOW FLOW > 20 D < 20 D 10 D FLOW FLOW The minimum length of upstream straight pipe is 20 Diameters and 10 Diameters downstream which ensures that accurate Figure18 results will be achieved. Flow measurements can be made on shorter lengths of straight pipe down to 10 Diameters upstream and 5 Diameters downstream, but when the transducers are sighted this close to any obstruction errors can be considerable.
  • Page 50 For all small pipes below 89mm, using 2MHz transducers, the bead of couplant used must be approximately 20mm long and 2mm maximum diameter for the moveable sensor and 30 long and 2mm diameter for the fixed sensor. Using more couplant could cause wall signals to be generated which cause errors in measurement.

    6.2.3 Transducer set "D" The two 0.5 MHz transducer blocks are the same, there is no propagation rate measurement required when using transducer set “D”. Couplant Figure 22 5. Strap the guide rail assembly to the pipe so that it is perfectly parallel to the pipe axis. 6.

  • Page 52: Propagation Velocity

    Propagation velocity To make a flow measurement using the UFM 610 P on any liquid, it is necessary to know the propagation velocity in metres/second. There is a short list of fluids that appear on the display when programming (See page 16), showing water and various other liquids.
