Inlet/Outlet conditions
Requirement for straight inlet before flowmeter
In order to maximize performance it is necessary to have straight inlet and outlet flow
conditions before and after the flowmeter.
Furthermore, a minimum distance between flowmeter and pumps and valves must be
respected.
It is also important to centre the flowmeter in relation to flanges and gaskets.
