FH8400 handling
Like any measurement device, the FH8400 must be handled with
the greatest care.
The handling must be done as follows:
•
With lifting rings fitted on the FH8400, for equipments
with a weight > 35 kilos
•
Or with straps on both sides of the flowmeter body when
there are no lifting rings
Reception and storage
Check the general appearance of the packing and FH8400 in
order to identify possible damages inflicted during trans-
portation.
Before installing the equipment, it is recommended to keep it
in its initial packing.
The flanges of the FH8400 equipped with protection covers
which must be removed only during its installation on the
pipe.
Store the FH8400 in a dry and clean place. The storage tempe-
rature should be between -40 and +60 °C (-40 and +140 °F)
In case of extended storage (typically more than one year), we
recommend to re-calibrate the meter.
Choice of the FH8400 location on the pipe
Faure Herman recommends an upstream straight length of 10 to
30 times the pipe diameter as function of flow conditions. A flow
straightener may be used upstream, depending on flow conditions.
The downstream recommended straight length is equal to 3D
min.
