FLUXUS G60x 11 Basic Measurement
Fig. 11.1: Sound path and transducer distance (A)
A higher number of transits means increased accuracy of the measurement. However,
the increased transit distance results in a higher attenuation of the signal.
The reflections on the opposite pipe wall and deposits on the inner pipe wall cause addi-
tional amplitude losses of the sound signal.
If the signal is attenuated strongly, e.g. by the medium, the pipe, deposits, etc., the num-
ber of sound paths must be set to 1 if necessary.
Note! Exact positioning of the transducers is easier for an even number of
transit paths (reflection mode) than for an odd number (diagonal
mode).
A value for the number of sound paths corresponding to
the connected transducers and the entered parameters
will be recommended. Change the value if necessary.
