3.11.2 Entering Reynolds Correction (cont .)1. The first prompt asks if you want to enable the Reynolds Correction
factor, a number based on the Kinematic Viscosity and flow rate of the
fluid.
Note: If you are using clamp-on transducers, you should enable Reynolds
Correction.
a. Use the [W] and [X] keys to scroll to the appropriate radio button.
b. Press [ENTER] to confirm your selection.
Note: If you disable Reynolds Correction, you will not be able to enter any
other values in this window.
2. If you enable Reynolds Correction, you will also need to enter the
Kinematic Viscosity of the fluid (available in the brochure Soundspeeds
and Pipe Size Data, 914-004). The prompt asks for a kinematic
viscosity value.
a. Press [ENTER] to open the text box.
b. Use the numeric keys to enter the desired value (from Soundspeeds
and Pipe Size Data).
c. Press [ENTER] to confirm your selection.
You have completed entering data for a single Kinematic Viscosity factor.
Proceed to Entering a Calibration Factor on page 67.
