ITABAR Flow Sensor Type
FTMD
Operating manual
5.2 Vertical Pipe Arrangement
The ITABAR Sensor for flow measurement of
steam and satured steam can be installed in vertical
pipe runs at any location, however, the instrument
connections have to be located in the same
horizontal plain (see Figure 4).

5.3 Horizontal Pipe Arrangement
For flow measurements in a horizontal pipe the
ITABAR Sensor must be installed in the lower half
of the pipe circumference; the connections to the
instruments have to be located below the pipe axis.

5.4 Misalignment
The ITABAR Sensor operates on the basis of
simple physical principles.
The sensor is not affected by being slightly out of
alignment.
The influence on the accuracy of the measurements
is negligible as long as the limits indicated in
Figures 6, 7 and 8 are not exceeded.
