Operation
Mating pipe I.D.
The inside diameter of the pipe adjacent to the flow meter can cause entrance effects that may
alter flowmeter readings. The exact inside diameter of the pipe must be specified to correct for
these effects. Enter the appropriate value for this variable.
Mating Pipe ID values for schedule 10, 40, 80, and 160 piping are given in Table 3-1 on page 41.
If the piping in your application is not one of these, you may need to contact the manufacturer
for exact Pipe ID.
Flange type
Flange Type enables you to specify the type of flange on the flowmeter for later reference. This
variable is preset at the factory but can be changed if necessary.

Meter body number
Meter Body Number is a factory set configuration variable that stores the body number of your
particular flowmeter and the type of construction. The meter body number is found to the right
of the body number on the meter body tag, which is attached to the bracket of the meter body.
The format of this variable is a number followed by an alpha character. The number designates
the body number.
Installation effect
Installation Effect enables you to compensate the flowmeter for installation effects caused by
less than ideal straight run piping. See reference graphs located in Technical Data Sheet
00816-0100-3250 for the percent of K-factor shift based on entrance effects of upstream
disturbances. This value is entered as a percentage of the range of -1.5% to +1.5%.
