3.3.1.4 Determine path angle and path length
Exact values for path angle and length must calculated using the geometric data to keep
measuring inaccuracy as low as possible (
→
Fig. 43,
→
pg. 97, Fig. 44). Enter these values in
the device as parameters during start-up
→
pg. 167, § 4.2.2(.).

A software to perform the geometry calculations can be found on the Product
CD.
Path angle for exact nozzle assembly 77.5 °
d = Off-center probes distance = 4.9 mm (manufacturer's specification)
U = Pipeline circumference at assembly location
S = Seal thickness = 4 mm
NL = Probe nominal length (manufacturer's specification)
D1, D2 = effective nozzle length (

pg. 86, § 3.3.1.1)
f = 1 for 1-path measurements, 0.8 for 2-path measurements
