Inlet and outlet runs
The thermal dispersion principle is sensitive to disturbed flow conditions.
As a general rule, the thermal flowmeter should always be installed as far away as possible from any
flow disturbances. For further information please refer to ISO 14511.
!
Note!
• Where two or more flow disturbances are located upstream of the meter, the longest indicated
inlet length should prevail. For example if a control valve and a bend are mounted upstream of
the flowmeter, the recommended inlet length should be according to the control valve (50 × DN).
• For very light gases such as Helium and Hydrogen all upstream distances should be doubled.
The minimum recommendations for inlet and outlet runs (without flow conditioner) are:
Flanged sensor
Insertion sensor
!
Note!
A specially designed perforated plate flow conditioner can be installed if it is not possible to observe
the inlet runs required (
