3.4. Required Length of Straight Pipe
The flow sensor should be installed as far as possible from disturbances of the flow. The causes for distur-
bance of the flow are for instance, reducers, elbows, T-pieces, valves, gate valves, etc. The specified meas-
urement accuracy can be achieved only when the following straight inlet and outlet pipe lengths are installed:
•
The wall thickness of the inlet and outlet pipe should be 2.6 mm
•
The stated values are as a minimum. If possible, allow for greater distances.
•
Valves or gate valves should be installed downstream of the flow sensor.
•
With lighter gases the inlet straight pipe should be longer.
