Foundations, supports
If the nominal diameter is DN
≥
350 (14"), mount the sensor on a foundation of adequate load-
bearing strength.
"
Caution!
Risk of damage.
Do not support the weight of the sensor on the metal casing: the casing would buckle and damage
the internal magnetic coils.

Adapters
Suitable adapters to DIN EN 545 (double-flange reducers) can be used to install the sensor in larger-
diameter pipes. The resultant increase in the rate of flow improves measuring accuracy with very
slow-moving fluids.
The nomogram shown here can be used to calculate the pressure loss caused by cross-section
reduction.
!
Note!
The nomogram only applies to liquids of viscosity similar to water.
1.
Calculate the ratio of the diameters d/D.
2.
From the nomogram, read off the pressure loss as a function of fluid velocity (
downstream
from
the reduction) and the d/D ratio.
