Appendix A. Specifications
A.1 Operation and Performance
Fluid Types
Liquids: Acoustically conductive fluids, including most clean liquids, and many
liquids with limited amounts of entrained solids or gas bubbles
Flow Measurement
Patented Correlation Transit-Time™ mode
Pipe Sizes
Standard: 0.5 to 24 in. (15 to 600 mm)
Optional: up to 300 in. (7500 mm) available upon request
Pipe Wall Thickness
up to 3 in. (76.2 mm)
Pipe Material
All metals and most plastics
Consult GE for concrete, composite materials and highly corroded or lined pipes.
Accuracy
±1% of reading (2in./50mm or greater pipe sizes)
±2% of reading (0.5in./15mm to <2in./50mm pipe sizes)
Installation assumes a fully developed symmetrical flow profile (typically 10 pipe
diameters upstream and 5 pipe diameters downstream of straight pipe run). Final
installation accuracy is a function of multiple factors including fluid, temperature
range, pipe centricity among other factors.
Repeatability
±0.2% of reading
Range (Bidirectional)
0.1 to 40 ft/s (0.03 to 12.19 m/s)
Response Time
Up to 2 Hz
Measurement Parameters
Velocity, Volume, Mass, Energy, Total Flow
Channels
1 or 2 channels
