To Save or Rename a Site Setup:
1. Press the <Right Arrow> to access the first character position.
2. Use the <Up/Down Arrows> to select a character, then press the <Right Arrow> to highlight to next
character position.
3. Use the <Up/Down Arrows> to select the second character. Repeat this process to select all the char-
acters (8 max.).
4. Press <ENT> to save the site data present in Active Memory.
If Contolotron’s Flowtalk software is used to save or restore sites, you can avoid ceating illegal file
names by not using spaces or decimal points (.) in your site names.

THE PIPE DATA MENU
CAUTION: The pipe data is set at the factory to conform to the flowmeter’s associated spool.
Use caution when changing these menu cells or factory settings will be lost.
We recommend that you edit the Pipe Data immediately after creating a new Site Setup. The Pipe Data
menu allows you to define the application’s pipe parameters. Select a pipe from one of the meter’s
stored pipe tables (see menu structure below); or input the pipe size and description manually. Manual
entries include Pipe Material, Outer Diameter (OD) and pipe Wall Thickness. Pipe ID (in), CC129 Thick-
ness, Pipe Configuration, Anomaly Diams, ThemExp Coef 1/F and Mod of Elast PSI. The meter requires
the pipe outer diameter (OD) and wall thickness to operate. You must define these parameters to com-
plete the installation.
The pipe table includes descriptions for over sixty standard pipes plus any user-entered pipes (see Meter
Facilities). To use these presets, first pick a Pipe Class (e.g., ASA Stainless Steel), then pick a pipe size
within that class (e.g., 4SS10). When you select a particular pipe class/size, the relevant pipe param-
eters appear in the Pipe Data menu cells. If a given pipe class/size does not match your application
exactly you can still edit each individual parameter to fine-tune your selection. In addition, the Meter
Facilities section of the Installation Menu provides a pipe table editor that allows you to customize any or
all of the stored pipe tables.
NOTE: If you edit the pipe parameters after the system is operating, you will have to repeat the
transducer install procedure.
The Custody Transfer version of this 1010 operating system includes routines that will compensate the
measured raw flow rate for dynamic changes in the pipe dimensions, caused by variations in line tem-
perature and pressure supplied to the flowmeter. To account for variations in pipe material, two new data
entry items (Thermal Expansion Coefficient and Modulus of Elasticity) have been added to the 1010 Pipe
Data menu screen (see sample menu screen on next page). The equation used to automatically com-
pute the change in pipe inside diameter is:
Where:
d
0
= inside diameter of pipe at STP
d
1
= inside diameter of pipe after temperature and pressure change.
w = pipe wall thickness
T
0
and P
0
= Standard temperature and Pressure
T
1
and P
1
= Operating temperature and Pressure
α = Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of Pipe material
E = Modulus of Elasticity of pipe material
d1 = d0(1 + D(T1  T0)) 
