C.5.3b Pipe OD
4. Click on the appropriate Pipe OD Unit type in the center pane from the list shown in Table 19. Then enter the
known pipe outside diameter or circumference in the right pane and click [Next Item].
Obtain the required information by measuring either the pipe outside diameter (OD) or circumference at the transducer
installation site. The data may also be obtained from standard pipe size tables found in Sound Speeds and Pipe Size
Data (914-004).

circum.in. = pipe circumference in inches
circum.ft = pipe circumference in feet
5. Enter the known Pipe Wall Thickness (in inches or mm) in the right pane and click [Next Item].
C.5.3c Path and Axial Lengths
6. Click on the appropriate Path Length unit type in the center pane. Then enter the path length of the ultrasonic signal
in the right pane and click [Next Item].
Note: If a spoolpiece was ordered with the meter, the transducer signal path length
(L)
length are engraved on the flowcell and/or are included in the documentation supplied with the meter. For
on-site transducer installations, refer to Appendix C, Measuring P and L Dimensions, in the Startup Guide for
instructions.
7. Click on the appropriate Axial Length unit type in the center pane. Then enter the axial length of the ultrasonic
signal in the right pane and click [Next Item].
