The flow direction is indicated in each case by the
arrow on the sensor head.
5.2 Vertical Pipe Arrangement
The ITABAR sensor for flow measurement of
liquids and gases 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 3).

5.3 Horizontal Pipe Arrangement
Liquids:
For flow measurements of liquids, 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. This way,
gas or air bubbles which may have found their way
into the connections or the instruments will return
into the flowing liquid. (see figure 4)

liquids
Gases:
For flow measurements of gases, the ITABAR
sensor must be installed in the upper portion of the
pipe diameter. This will prevent moisture or
condensation from entering the instrument
connections and altering the measurement. (see
figure 5)
