Distance Calculation
To calculate the transducer to material level (object) distance, the
transmission medium
(atmosphere) sound velocity (P653) is multiplied by the acoustic transmission to reception
time period. The result (round trip distance) is divided by 2.
time period. The result (round trip distance) is divided by 2.
Distance = Sound Velocity x Time

The Reading Value displayed is the result of performing any additional modification to the
calculated distance (Operation P001, Units P005, Volume Conversion, P050 to P054,
Reading Value, P060 to P063.)

Sound Velocity
The sound velocity of the transmission medium is affected by the type, temperature, and
vapour pressure of the gas or vapour present. As preset, the SITRANS LU01 assumes the
vessel atmosphere is air at 20°C (68°F). Unless altered, the sound velocity used for the
distance calculation is 344.1 m/s (1129 ft/s).
