10. Pipe Roughness
PIPE R -- Pipe Material Relative Roughness (Value): Unitless Value
The meter provides flow profile compensation in its flow measurement calculation.
The ratio of average surface imperfection as it relates to the pipe internal diameter is
used in this compensation algorithm and is found using the following formula:
Pipe R = (linear RMS of the pipe's internal wall surface) / (inner diameter of pipe)
If a pipe material was chosen from the PIPE MAT list, a nominal value for relative
roughness in that material is automatically loaded. Revise this value as needed for a
given application.
11. Liner Thickness
LINER T -- Pipe Liner Thickness (Value): ENGLSH (Inches), METRIC (Millimeters)
If the pipe has a liner, enter the pipe liner thickness. Enter this value in inches if
ENGLSH was selected as UNITS; in millimeters if METRIC was selected.
12. Liner Material
LINER MA - Pipe Liner Material (Choice): Liner Type - (If a LINER Thickness was
selected)
Tar Epoxy
(TAR EPXY)
Rubber
(RUBBER)
Mortar
(MORTAR)
Polypropylene
(POLYPRO)
Polystyrene
(POLYSTY)
This list is provided as an example. Additional materials are added periodically. Select
the appropriate material from the list or select OTHER if the liner material is not
listed.
13. Liner Sound Speed
LINER SS -- Speed of Sound in the Liner (Value): ENGLSH (Feet per Second), METRIC
(Meters per Second)
Allows adjustments to be made to the speed of sound value, shear or transverse
wave, for the pipe wall. If the UNITS value was set to ENGLSH, the entry is in FPS (feet
per second). METRIC entries are made in MPS (meters per second).
If a liner was chosen from the LINER MA list, a nominal value for speed of sound
in that media is automatically loaded. Revise this value as needed for a given
application.
14. Liner Roughness
LINER R -- Liner Material Relative Roughness (Value): Unitless Value
Provides flow profile compensation in its flow measurement calculation. The ratio of
average surface imperfection as it relates to the pipe internal diameter is used in this
compensation and is found by using the following formula.
Liner R = (linear RMS of the liner's internal wall surface) / (inner diameter of liner)
If a liner material was chosen from the LINER MA list, a nominal value for relative
roughness in that material is automatically loaded. Revise this value as needed for a
given application.

15. Fluid Type
FL TYPE -- Fluid/Media Type (Choice)
Water Tap
(WATER)
Ethanol
Sewage-
(SEWAGE)
Ethylene
Raw
Glycol
Acetone
(ACETONE)
Gasoline
Alcohol
(ALCOHOL)
Glycerin
Ammonia
(AMMONIA)
Isopropyl
Alcohol
Benzene
(BENZENE)
Kerosene
Brine
(BRINE)
Methanol
This list is provided as an example. Additional liquids are added periodically. Select
the appropriate liquid from the list or select OTHER if the liquid is not listed.
16. Fluid Sound Speed
FLUID SS -- Speed of Sound in the Fluid (Value): ENGLSH (Feet per Second), METRIC
(Meters per Second)
Allows adjustments to be made to the speed of sound entry for the liquid. If the
UNITS value was set to ENGLSH, the entry is in FPS (feet per second). METRIC entries
are made in MPS (meters per second).
If a fluid was chosen from the FL TYPE list, a nominal value for speed of sound in that
media is automatically loaded. Revise this value as needed for a given application.
If OTHER was chosen as FL TYPE, a FLUID SS will need to be entered. A list of alternate
fluids and their associated sound speeds is located in the Appendix located at the
back of this manual.
Fluid sound speed may also be found using the Target DBg Data screen available in
the software utility. See Part 5.
17. Fluid Viscosity
FLUID VI -- Absolute Viscosity of the Fluid (Value - cP)
Allows adjustments to be made to the absolute viscosity of the liquid in centipoise.
Flow meters utilize pipe size, viscosity and specific gravity to calculate Reynolds
numbers. Since the Reynolds number influences flow profile, the meter must
compensate for the relatively high velocities at the pipe center during transitional or
laminar flow conditions. The entry of FLUID VI is utilized in the calculation of Reynolds
and the resultant compensation values.
If a fluid was chosen from the FL TYPE list, a nominal value for viscosity in that media
is automatically loaded. Revise this value as needed for a given application.
If OTHER was chosen as FL TYPE, then a FLUID VI must also be entered. A list of
alternate fluids and their associated viscosities is located the Appendix located at the
back of this manual.
