is installed with the electrodes in or close to the horizontal plane to ensure that any passing air or
bubbles do not interfere with the measurement. If installing in a vertical pipe, it is highly
recommended that flow direction is upwards to guarantee that the pipe remains full at all times.
Ensure upstream and downstream straight pipe run requirements are met.
There are some general precautions for installation:
Avoid Areas Where Air Accumulates and
Open Pipe Outlets
The meter must remain full of liquid in order
to operate correctly. Avoid high points in
pipes where air may tend to accumulate and
vertical outlet legs.
Bypass Line for Easier Maintenance
It is good practice to install a bypass around a
meter to allow maintenance access without the
need to shut down the line. Ensure upstream and
downstream straight pipe run requirements are
met.
Avoid Strong Vibration
Piping should be securely fixed where there
are vibrations present.
It is recommended
that the transmitter be mounted remotely in
these installations.
For installations with
severe vibration, a flexible coupling is
recommended to prevent the transmission of
vibration through the pipe to the flow tube. In
all cases, the flow meter should be properly
supported upstream and downstream to
prevent undue stress being placed upon the
meter and flanges.
NEVER
support a meter on it’s casing as this can cause
internal damage to the meter coils.
Avoid Negative Pressure Situations
Where the pipe system has a fall of over 5m after
a meter installation, it is advisable to install a vent
or vacuum breaker above the meter to prevent
damage to the meter liner.
