Pipe And Manhole Characteristics - ADS TRITON+ Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Flow Traveling at Least One Foot Per Second Slower
flows enable debris to settle in the pipe, limiting the accuracy
of flow measurements.
Higher Elevation than High Water Level that Occurs
in Wet Well at Downstream Pump Station Pipes that are
below the high water level of the pump station wet well could
experience frequent backup and surcharging. This will
increase sensor maintenance and possibly reduce data
accuracy.

Pipe and Manhole Characteristics

The physical characteristics of the pipe affect the flow and
determine the procedure for installing the sensors. Consider the
following factors and perform the following activities when
installing the sensors and monitor:
Sensor Installation Method Pipe size and shape determine
the installation method to employ for installing the sensors.
Standard Installation Select this option to install
sensors in round pipes from 8 inches (200 mm) to 48
inches (1219 mm) in diameter. Standard installations
involve attaching sensors to an adjustable stainless steel
ring that mounts inside the pipe.
Special Installation in the Pipe Select this option to
install sensors in non-round pipes or round pipes larger
than 48 inches. (1219 mm) in diameter. Special
installations involve attaching sensors to steel bands
secured to the inside of the pipe.
Installation in the Manhole Structure Select this
option to install the Long Range Depth Sensor, the
ParaDepth Sensor, the ParaFlow Sensor, the Surface
Combo Sensor, or the Ultrasonic Depth Sensor in the
manhole structure. This installation involves installing the
Long Range Depth Sensor on a mounting bar near the top
of the manhole or installing the ParaDepth, ParaFlow,
Surface Combo, or Ultrasonic Depth Sensors on a special
