55 Example of the measurement error in a pipe with a 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 error at the measuring point
The measurement error at the measuring point is made up of the measurement error of
the device (0.5% o.r.) and the measurement error resulting from the installation
conditions on site. With a flow velocity > 0.3 m/s (1 ft/s) and a Reynolds number >
10 000, the following are typical error limits:

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. Here, the
sensors are mounted on a pipe with a nominal diameter of DN 50 (2") or DN 100 (4").
With a flow velocity of > 0.3 m/s (1 ft/s) and a Reynolds number > 10 000, the following
error limits are guaranteed with the measurement report:
Nominal diameter Maximum permissible errors for device
50 (2") ±0.5% o.r. ± 5 mm/s (0.20 in/s)
100 (4") ±0.5% o.r. ± 7.5 mm/s (0.30 in/s)
The specification applies to Reynolds numbers Re ≥ 10 000. Larger measurement
errors may occur for Reynolds numbers Re < 10 000.
