Ultrasonic Flow Meter TUF 2000M Manual: TS-2 Sensor Calibration Guidelines
Quick Answer: The TS-2 clamp on sensor pair works on pipe sizes DN25 to DN100. You calibrate the TUF 2000M by entering pipe outer diameter, wall thickness, pipe material, liner, and fluid type. The meter calculates the correct spacing and the V or W mounting method for the TS-2 sensors.
Why TS-2 Calibration Matters on Site
Silver Automation Instruments supplies the TUF 2000M to water and wastewater teams, chemical plants, and HVAC contractors. Most install errors come from wrong pipe parameters. We have seen this on customer sites many times. A water utility in Peru used DN80 steel pipe but entered DN100. The flow reading shifted by 9 percent. That is enough to upset billing data. The TS-2 sensor itself is stable. The calibration step tells the transmitter where the sensor sits.
What the TUF 2000M Menu Needs From You
For a liquid application, the TS-2 sensor calibration starts with mechanical inputs. Check the pipe outer diameter with a tape measure. Do not trust the drawing. Enter wall thickness from the pipe schedule. Select material: carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, PVC, or copper. Add liner if the pipe is rubber lined or epoxy coated. Choose fluid type: water, diesel, crude oil, or a user defined liquid. The meter uses sound speed data for each fluid. Enter the temperature at the pipe surface. A sensor temperature range of -30 °C to 90 °C is normal for TS-2. For hot water above 90 °C, you need a high temperature clamp on sensor.
Step by Step TS-2 Sensor Installation and Calibration
Clean the pipe surface first. Remove scale and paint. Apply coupling grease. For DN25 to DN40 pipes, select the V method. For DN50 to DN100 pipes, you can use V or W depending on flow profile and straight run length. The TUF 2000M shows a spacing number after all parameters are entered. Mount the TS-2 sensors at that spacing. Check signal strength and signal quality on the meter. A signal strength above 60 is usable. Above 80 is good. If the signal is weak, move the sensors slightly or add more coupling compound. The TUF 2000M display shows the Q value. A Q value between 60 and 100 is typical for TS-2 on clean water. In practice, most engineers skip this part until the flow reading looks wrong. Do not skip the zero check. Close the downstream valve and run the zero calibration in the menu. That removes small offset errors on large pipes.
Field Notes From Southeast Asia and Latin America
Here is the thing. Most TS-2 calibration problems are not sensor faults. They are data entry errors. A paint manufacturer in Vietnam runs the TUF 2000M on a DN65 stainless steel line with solvent based liquid. The TS-2 sensors stay on the pipe for six months. Because the pipe surface was polished and the coupling grease was applied correctly, the signal remained above 85. A palm oil refinery in Indonesia uses the same meter
Model and Sensor Pairing Data
For clean water, wastewater, and HVAC chilled water, pair the TUF 2000M with TS-2 sensors on DN25 to DN100. For DN15 lines, use a smaller sensor such as TS-1. For DN100 to DN300, use TM-1 sensors or consider an inline electromagnetic flow meter. Silver Automation Instruments supplies the TUF 2000M as a portable clamp on ultrasonic flow meter for field surveys. The transmitter supports 4-20 mA, pulse output, and RS485 Modbus. Some systems need HART or a PT100 input. The TUF 2000M works with a PT100 for heat energy measurement when two temperature inputs are connected. The standard TS-2 sensor operates up to 90 °C. For ATEX Zone 1 areas, confirm the sensor and transmitter certification with our engineers. Keep sensor cables 500 mm away from VFD cables to avoid noise.
FAQ: Can TS-2 Sensors Work on Vertical Pipes
Yes. The flow direction must be upward and the pipe must be full. Air bubbles reduce signal quality and cause unstable readings.
FAQ: How Often Should I Calibrate the TS-2 Sensor
For a fixed installation, recheck pipe outer diameter, wall thickness, and signal strength every six months. For portable use, enter new parameters at each pipe location before taking readings.
FAQ: Why Does Signal Strength Drop After One Day
Coupling compound may dry out on hot pipes. The pipe may also expand at higher temperature. Reapply coupling grease, clean the sensor faces, and verify the wall thickness entry.
FAQ: What Fluid Types Does the TUF 2000M Support
It supports clean liquids, water, wastewater, diesel, light oils, and some chemicals. Liquids with heavy solids or high gas content need a different meter type. Our engineers can review the viscosity in cP and conductivity in µS/cm if needed.
FAQ: What Pipe Sizes Match the TS-2 Sensor
DN25 to DN100 is the standard range. For smaller or larger pipes, we recommend TS-1 or TM-1 sensors. You can also use a Coriolis mass flow meter for DN15 and smaller lines.
