The installation-specific measurement error depends on the installation conditions on site, such as
the nominal diameter, wall thickness, real pipe geometry or medium. The sum of the two
measurement errors is the measurement error at the measuring point.

The specification applies to Reynolds numbers Re ≥ 10 000 and flow velocities
v > 0.3 m/s (1 ft/s). Larger measurement errors may occur for Reynolds numbers Re < 10 000
and flow velocities v < 0.3 m/s (1 ft/s).

31 Example of the absolute value of the measurement error in a pipe with nominal diameter DN > 200 (8")
1 Measurement error of measuring device: ±0.5% o.r. ± 3 mm/s (0.12 in/s)
2 Measurement error due to installation conditions: typically ±1.5% o.r.
3 Measurement error at the measuring point:
±0.5% o.r. ± 3 mm/s (0.12 in/s)±1.5% o.r. = ±2% o.r. ± 3 mm/s (0.12 in/s)
Measurement report
If required, the device can be supplied with a factory measurement report. A measurement is
performed under reference conditions to verify the performance of the device. The sensors are
mounted on an appropriate stainless steel pipe in this case.
The measurement report shows the following maximum permissible errors:
