4.1.3.2 Sensor Height
This method requires entering the distance between the face of the ultrasonic
sensor and the zero flow point in the primary device. The zero flow point in a
primary device is the level at which flow ceases. In a round pipe the zero flow
point would typically be the invert or bottom of the pipe. In a V-notch weir the
zero flow point occurs when the liquid behind the weir is level with the bottom
of the ‘V’. (There would still be liquid behind the weir plate but it would not be
contributing to flow). Sensor Height calibration is generally used when:

The speed of sound in air varies with the temperature of the air. The
ultrasonic sensor is equipped with temperature compensation to help
eliminate the effect of temperature variation under normal site conditions.
