1               APPLICATION INFORMATION

This information is usually available from the results of any previous testing done

on this stack or duct. Please refer to this test data.

1.1           Identification of the Stack

Some sites have more than one stack. Please provide a name that accurately describes

the location of interest. Some examples are: "West Stack", "Aux Boiler", or "Unit One".

1.1.1        Process Type

Utility Boiler - Coal Utility Boiler - Oil Utility Boiler - Gas Cement Kiln Lime Plant Paper Mill Steel Mill Glass Manufacturing Plastic Manufacturing Coal Preparation Municipal Waste Combustor Petroleum Refinery Asphalt Plant Lead Smelter Copper Smelter Brass/Bronze Plant Zinc Plant Aluminum Plant Fertilizer Plant Other Manufacturing Other

1.1.2        Redundancy

On occasion, there might be a need for fully redundant system. This occurs if you install

2 separate TIE electronics boxes in the same stack or duct.

If you will be having a 2 - TIE system, will both

TIEs be mounted in the same stack or duct?          YES NO

1.2           Process Variables

1.2.1        Temperature

Indicate degrees F or degrees C. Use numbers that represent stack

conditions when the process is running, not when the process is down.

1.2.2        Pressure Range

This is the Static Pressure of the stack or duct at the proposed monitor location.

It is a differential pressure (positive or negative) compared to ambient conditions.

The most common unit of measurement is in inches of H₂0. Use numbers that represent

stack conditions when the process is running, not when the process is down.

1.2.3        Characterize Particulate

In extremely high particulate density conditions, the sound waves may have trouble traversing

across the stack or duct. Please characterize the particulate concentration (mg/Nm³), and

type of particulate so we can insure the monitor has sufficient energy to provide the best performance.

1.2.4        Gas Stream Typical Composition

Individual gas constituent is important only if you want to use the Internal temperature calculated by the

UltraFlow 150. If effluent composition varies drastically due to changing fuel types or other

routine process conditions you should consider using the External Temperature input option. This

option is explained in detail in a later section. If you are using the External Temperature option,

please provide the typical %H₂O values for signal attenuation considerations.

1.2.5         Gas Stream Velocity

This is usually measure in feet per second. You can alternately provide us with metric units (meters per second).

Use numbers that represent stack conditions when the process is running, not when the process is down.

2                Geometry of the Stack or Duct

This information is usually available from the site drawings of the stack or duct.

Examples are given in the Attachment Buttons.

2.1            Shape   

Is the shape of the stack or duct Round or Rectangular?

            Round          Rectangular

2.2            Taper           

Is the Upstream Inside Diameter the same as Downstream Inside Diameter?

            Yes              No

2.3            Dimensions

2.3.1         Inside Dimensions           

What are the inside dimensions at each transducer location? Note that the monitor should

always be mounted across the "Width" dimension if the stack or duct is rectangular.

2.3.2        Thickness of Stack Walls   

Many stacks have an inner liner through which the effluent flows. The outer shell of such a stack

is for structural support. The annular space is the space between the two walls. Enter each thickness

as it exists in your location. If the mounting tube does not need to extend through one of these

thickness' mark NA in that location.

2.4          Location of the flow monitor

2.4.1       Distance from the disturbances   

Any breaching, bend or opening in the stack or duct is a disturbance. Usually, the farther downstream from

a disturbance, the better it is for the location of the flow monitor. Optimum limits would be at least 8 diameters

downstream and at least 2 diameters upstream from any obstructions. If the stack or duct has flow straighteners

or structural braces inside it, describe them in the following Comment section.

Record the Distances from stack or duct inlets, bends, exits, or obstructions.

Comments::

2.4.2       Offset   

The Offset is very important!!! It is the upstream versus downstream displacement between

the two transducers. This is different from the 'distance from disturbance' criteria in 2.4.1 above. 

It will provide the information needed to calculate the mounting angle. It is usually equal to the

distance between the center of the holes cut into the inner stack line.

*Many times TML will advise the customer of what angle of installation is required.

Attachment B also depicts the "Horizontal Port Extensions'. The ports extend into the stack in

order to protect the transducers from debris falling from the wall. We measure the length that

extends into the stack horizontally on a typical vertical stack. We will provide this distance

with the installation drawings. Please note below any Mounting Tube Installation problems

or other known stack or duct characteristics that may be important for installation or factory

calibrations. (Examples are: Structural Braces or existing sampling probes located near or

between the proposed locations of the transducers, wanted to use existing platforms if possible.)

3             Inputs and Outputs

3.1         Barometric Pressure Transducer Options

We strongly recommend purchasing the Barometric Pressure Transducer option.

It is necessary to provide readings that corrected to standard conditions.

*NOTE: The Barometric Transducer Option is mounted on the Dual Analog Input Board!

I do NOT want the Barometric Pressure Transducer              

I do want to use the Barometric Pressure Transducer and

I wish to purchase the Pressure Transducer from TML      

I DO want to use the Barometric Pressure Transducer

and I will supply my own  _{See scaling below (1)}                         

(1) This requires the customer to purchase the optional dual analog

input board w/o the barometric pressure transducer by TML.

3.2        External Temperature Options

This option was mentioned in the section 1.2.4 'Gas Stream Composition'.

An external temperature measurement will provide a more accurate

correction to standard conditions.

I do NOT want to use the External Temperature Option.

I prefer to use the temperature calculated by the UltraFlow.   

I DO want to use the External Temperature Option

and I wish to purchase a RTD from TML.                           

I DO want to use the External Temperature Option

and I will supply my own. _{See scaling below.(2)}                      

(2) This requires the customer to purchase the

optional dual analog input board from TML.
