To calculate the transducer to material level (object) distance, the transmission medium
(atmosphere) Sound velocity (2.11.1.2.) (Page 218) is multiplied by the acoustic
transmission to reception time period. This result is divided by 2 to calculate the one way
distance.
Distance = Sound Velocity x Time / 2
The reading displayed is the result of performing any additional modification to the calculated
distance, as determined by:
