General Installation Notes
In order to obtain optimal measurement results,
follow the notes concerning the installation of the
ITABAR sensor given below.
4.1.
Determination of Pipe Arrangement
For design reasons, the pipe arrangement at the
installation location has to be known before the sen-
sor is manufactured. Since the ITABAR sensors for
vertical lines are not interchangeable with those for
horizontal lines.
• Pipe arrangement, horizontal or vertical
• flow direction (only for models with direct
welded condensation vessels)
• Wall thickness of pipe
For horizontal and vertical pipe run the
condensation vessels have to be arranged in the
same horizontal plain.
Compare Fig. 3b and 4b.

The flow direction is indicated in each case by the
arrow on the sensor head.
4.2.
Vertical Pipe Arrangement
The ITABAR sensor for flow measurement of steam
and saturated steam can be installed in vertical pipe
runs at any location, however, the instrument
connections have to be located in the same
horizontal plain (Fig. 3a and 3b).
