c. QUESTION: What is the temperature?

ANSWER: -10 degrees to 60 degrees C.

Salients 11. Shall be capable of operating over a range of temperatures from at least -10 degrees to 60 degrees C.

d. QUESTION: What is the Fluid or gas flowing through the pipe?

ANSWER: Fluid - water. Salients 1. Shall be a portable, non-invasive, ultrasonic type liquid flowmeter designed to measure water flow.

e. QUESTION: Do you have an idea of what line sizes this will be used on?

ANSWER: 4" to 120". Salients 25. Shall support a range of pipe diameters from at 4" up to at least 120".

f. QUESTION: Will this be used for liquid?

Because there are different transducers for liquid and gas.

ANSWER: Liquid - water. Salients 1. Shall be a portable, non-invasive, ultrasonic type liquid flowmeter designed to measure water flow.

g. QUESTION: It looks like you may be using this for liquid energy measurements, as it talks about temperature sensors - can you confirm?

ANSWER: Do not need temp sensor 8. Shall include at least 4 inputs to support temperature sensors described below. Has been removed.

h. QUESTION: Your transducer ranges don't make sense, 4" up to at least 120". It is better that you choose the actual measuring range.

ANSWER: 4"- 120" pipe diameter. Salients

25. Shall support a range of pipe diameters from at 4" up to at least 120".

i. QUESTION: It is impossible to give you a

NIST calibration certificate for pipes that range from 4" - 120" you need a specific pipe size in order for us to calibrate the ultrasonic meter-most ultrasonic meters are not calibrated because the pipe sizes vary.

ANSWER: Salients 27. Transducer calibration shall be NIST traceable.

2. Update Bullets 1, 10, 24, 26, and 36 on the

Salient Characteristics document. The bullets have been updated as follows:

a. Delete bullet 1 and replace with the following bullet 1: 1. Shall be a portable, non-invasive, ultrasonic type liquid flowmeter designed to measure water flow.

b. Delete bullet 10 and replace with the
