Vertical pipe
Flow direction and orientation of the sensor head
The measuring point on a vertically mounted pipe has always to be filled. The fluid should flow upward. The fluid has to wash around
the measuring prism and the flow direction of the fluid has to be parallel to the edge of the measuring prism. If the sensor is correctly
installed, the arrows on the sensor housing are vertical.
