B.2 Chord “L” dimension calculation
The chord “L” dimension is calculated from the meter housing length as well as the 
transducer pair lengths, mount lengths, holder lengths, and stalk lengths as shown in 
. The transducer lengths are etched on the transducers. Likewise, the lengths 
of the mounts, stalk assemblies, and transducer holders are also etched on the individual 
components. The length of the meter body is found on the original calibration sheet 
supplied with the meter.
Equation B-5  Chord “L” Dimension
where
=
chord “L” dimension (in) (
LA ... LD)
=
meter housing length (in)
=
transducer 1 mount length(in)
=
transducer 2 mount length (in)
=
transducer 1 length (in)
=
transducer 2 length (in)
=
transducer 1 stalk length (in)
=
transducer 2 stalk length (in)
=
transducer 1 holder length (in)
=
transducer 2 holder length (in)
