2. OPERATING CONDITIONS
To maintain the stated high accuracy and long service life of FLOW MATE (OVAL M-
Ⅲ
), make sure
that the flowrate, pressure, temperature and viscosity are held within the ratings. The operating
conditions appear in the GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS on page 15. Confirm these ratings before
commencing operation.

Flow Direction
NOTE: Making measure-
ment with Size 38 meter
is acceptable only in this
orientation (flow direction
from bottom to top).
Measures flow in either
direction (from top to
bottom or from top to
bottom).
CAUTION
If the body material of FLOW MATE (OVAL M -

) is al anodized
aluminum coating,
it is not serviceable for water and corrosive liquids.
3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Tubing Considerations
()The tubing assembly must be thoroughly flushed. Flushing must be performed before meter
installation. Couple a short pipe section in place of the meter (see the flushing set-up given below).
()The meter should be installed exercising due care to avoid pipe strains.
(3)When screwing in the fittings, be very careful not to allow metal chips and seal tape protrusions to
get into the meter.
(4)The meter should be located downstream of the pump.
(5)Flow direction must conform to the arrow mark indicated on the meter body.
(6)The strainer should be located upstream of, and as close to the meter as possible.
(7)The physical orientation of the meter should be such that its nameplate is vertical as shown below.
(8)When installing Size 38 meter in the tubing assembly, screwing torque at the fitting should be
held with in 0N
・
m.
Avoid meter orientation
with nameplate top or
bottom.
Measures flow in either
direction (from left to right
or from right to left).
