Standard Diagnostic Terminology

Chord Velocity: (or Path Velocity)

- The average velocity (ft/sec) along the chord line between pairs of transducers.
- Chord A shows 17.4 ft/sec
- Blue bars indicate reverse flow

Average Velocity:

The path weighted average of all pathsaverage velocity of the entire cross-section
of the metern

Vaverage = wi vi = 0.1382 v1 + 0.3618 v 2 + 0.3618 v3 + 0.1382 v 4

1

Q = Vaverage A

Flow Velocity Ratio:

- The decimal ratio of an individual chords velocity divided by the meter average

velocity.
Chord A = 0.892 = 17.43 / 19.54

Standard Diagnostic Terminology (Contd)

Speed of Sound: (SOS)

-

The sound propagation rate expressed in

Distance/Time.(i.e. Ft/Sec )
The bar for the chord turns yellow if the spread between the
chord Speed of Sound and the Average Speed of Sound
varies by more than 0.35%
The bar for the chord
turns red if the spread
between the chord Speed
of Sound and the Average
Speed of Sound varies
by more than a configurable
factor called CRange

Standard Diagnostic Terminology (Contd)

Gain:

The gain is a setting for how much the meter must amplify a
received signal to make the recorded signal have the required
amplitude. If sound signal level diminishesgain increases.

Gains can vary considerably from meter to meter and because of

changing flow conditions.

For the same transducer, the gains are higher on larger meters
than smaller meters for a given flow condition because of the
longer path lengths.

The maximum gain with the LT-01 transducer is 103 dB

Standard Diagnostic Terminology (Contd)

Performance:

The percentage of acceptable path (transducer pair) timings from the last
running test batch.

A 100% performance means that every signal acquired is used to make

the flow measurement.

At higher velocities, or in the presence of ultrasonic noise interference, or

in changing flow conditions, this value may be less than 100%.

If the batch size is 20.the last 20 measurements of the same

transducer pair will be reported. The percent range will be 0 to 100%in
5% incrementsIE: 90% = 18 of the last 20 timings were successful.

Performance above 25% is acceptable

Standard Diagnostic Terminology (Contd)

Signal to Noise Ratio: (SNR)

SNR =

SE ( SoundEnergy )
NE ( NoiseEnergy )

It is the numeric ratio between the

received sound signal and the
received background noise
This number is a net usable signal number and can have a minimum numeric limit
assigned to it and resultant alarms.

The average signal and noise levels only includes samples used for the batch and do
not include samples thrown out due to poor quality.

If noise appears to be a problem, this SNR can help you determine the direction of the
noise. Lower signal to noise ratios on the upstream chords than on the downstream
chords indicate that the noise is coming from downstream of the meter.

SNR values below 500 warrant investigation

Swirl:

Estimate Swirl from Profile Factor (Consider flow regime

and conditioning)

A profile factor of 1.17 = 1.042 / 0.89, is equal to a swirl of 0 degrees

Flow which is not parallel to the centerline of the longitudinal axis can cause
measurement errors. (greater than +/- 2 degrees of swirl)

Most Swirl patterns have a continuous rotational component. Swirls that are almost
perfectly rotationallike a corkscrew or a threadare usually referred to as Bulk
Rotation

Symmetry:

Symmetry =

V A + VB
VC + V D

Ratio of the flow velocities of the top two chords

divided by the flow velocities of the bottom two chords

Compares the flow in the top half of the pipe with that in the
bottom half

In good condition it should be close to 1

Advanced Diagnostic Terminology (Contd)

Cross Flow:

V A + VC
CrossFlow =
VB + VD

Ratio of the flow velocities of the A and C

chords divided by the flow velocities of the B and D chords

Compares the chords in one plane with those in the other plane
at right angles

In good condition it should be close to 1

The bar for the chord turns yellow if the spread between the
chord Speed of Sound and the Average Speed of Sound
varies by more than 0.35%
The bar for the chord
turns red if the spread
between the chord Speed
of Sound and the Average
Speed of Sound varies
by more than a configurable
factor called CRange

Mayor Frecuencia elimina problema de Ruido de Valvula?

RTA: NO!!!!, Las valvulas Whisper Trim generan ruido hasta el

rango de los 500KHZ
solo reduce tamao de sensor;
Sensor mas pequeo mayor riesgo de rotura si se expone,
Mayor sensibilidad a la suciedad!!!!!
