3.1.3 Transportation
Attention:
All detectors larger than DN 150 are equipped with lifting eyes.
For transportation or lifting of the meter you have to use them.
Do not lift the meters at the amplifier or detector neck.
Do not lift the detectors at the sheet casing with a fork lift truck,
because the housing will be pushed in.
Do not lead lifting devices (rope, forks of a lifter, etc.) through
the tube, otherwise the lining will be damaged.
3.2 Mounting
In order to secure the function of the meter in full range, as well as to avoid damages,
following mounting recommendations have to be observed.
Attention:
The meter has to be mounted in the pipeline according to the flow
direction sign on the nameplate.
For detectors with PTFE liner, please remove the shroud on the
flange (or the screw necks at dairy threads acc. to DIN 11851) only
shortly before installation!
3.2.1 Mounting
position
The meter can be mounted in any position. The meter can be mounted in horizontal
as well as vertical pipelines.
At vertical mounting the flow direction is to be provided upwards. Carried solid
particles are sinking downwards.
At horizontal mounting you have to pay attention, that the measure electrodes are
lying in a horizontal level. Carried gas bubbles could otherwise lead to a short time
isolation of the measure electrodes.
The meter has to be mounted in the pipeline according to the flow direction sign on
the nameplate.
3.2.2 Inlet and outlet distance
The detector should always be installed in front of turbulence generating fittings. If
this is not always possible, then inlet distances of 3 x DN should be provided. The
outlet distance should be > 2 x DN.
