Function "pipe diam. corr." (032)

For level measurement in stilling wells, radar systems require highly precise pipe inner diameter data. An mm-exact level measurement cannot be guaranteed for deviations from the actual stilling well inner diameter of more than ± 0.1mm to the value entered in the function group "basic setup" (00). The errors which occur as a result are linear and can be corrected with a dip table containing at least two entries.

The 7500 RTG also has an automatic pipe inner diameter correction. This adjusts the entered stilling well inner diameter (input in the function group

"basic setup" (00)) to the actual values. However, this presupposes that the value entered in the function group "basic setup" (00) matches the actual pipe inner diameter accurately as possible. The user-defined value entered in the function group

"basic setup" (00) can be corrected with this value. In order to do this, switch on the "pipe diam. corr." (032) function, after a level change of at least 5 m has occurred since start- up. The pipe diameter, which the instrument determines automatically, will then be transmitted to the "pipe diameter" (007) function.

Note!

Only if the "pipe diameter" (007) function has changed its value, it is necessary to per- form a "history reset" (009) and to delete the dip table after activation of the "pipe diam. corr." (032) function. Otherwise the level change of 5 m has not yet been exceeded. The "pipe diam. corr." (032) function must be deactivated again and the procedure should be repeated at a later point of time.
