6.2.1.3 Selection of the measurement arrangement
If the measuring point is situated near an elbow, the following measurement arrangements are recommended for the selection
of the sound beam plane.
Diagonal arrangement with 1 beam Reflection arrangement with 1 beam
• wider flow velocity and sound speed
range compared to the reflection ar-
rangement
• use in the presence of deposits on the in-
ner pipe wall or with strongly attenuating
gases or liquids (only 1 sound path)
• smaller flow velocity and sound speed
range compared to the diagonal arrange-
ment
• transverse flow effects are compensated
because the beam crosses the pipe in 2
directions
• higher accuracy of measurement be-
cause the accuracy increases with the
number of sound paths
Vertical pipes Horizontal pipes
• The sound beam plan is selected in an
angle of 90° to the elbow plane. The el-
bow is upstream of the measuring point.
• The sound beam plane is selected in an
angle of 90° ± 45° to the elbow plane.
The elbow is upstream of the measuring
point.
