Calculating Velocity (Pipe Material Sound Speed)
The nominal sound speed for your pipe material will give
thickness measurements of reasonable accuracy. However, for
greater accuracy, calibrate pipe material sound velocity.
IMPORTANT: This step is necessary only
if the actual pipe
material sound speed differs from the sound
speed of the material used in the calibration
block. It is possible only if you have a sample of
pipe material with the thickness known to a high
level of precision.
To open the Velocity window, press the [
W ] or [X] arrow key
until you reach the Velocity tab and press
[ENTER]. The screen
appears similar to Figure 9-10 below.
