4. FLOWMETER INSTALLATION
4.1 Considerations at Installation
(1) The LCD display of Ultra OVAL equipped with
a batch controller is designed to be seen down
from upper point, rather than at the same level.
Take this into consideration when you decide its
installation height.

(2) Flush the piping assembly.
Flushing must be performed before meter installation. Install a short pipe in place of the meter at this time (see
Fig. 4.2 below).
(3) After flushing, remove the short pipe section from the pipeline and install the meter in place, exercising care
to avoid any pipe strain on the meter.
(4) The meter must be installed on the discharge side of the pump.
(5) If the meter is to be used under tank head, give a head pressure greater than the total pressure losses of
the piping system, strainer, meter, and other associated equipment.
NOTE: Pressure losses of the Ultra OVAL with a batch controller and strainers are stated in the
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS.
(6) The flow direction arrow indicated on the meter body should point in actual direction of flow.
(7) The strainer should be located upstream of, and in close proximity of the meter.
(8) Since the sensor in the Ultra OVAL detects the changes in magnetic flux density, it must be isolated from
the influence of external magnetic fields.
In order to minimize the influence of external magnetic fields, select an installation location at least 5 meters
from existing power equipment and conductors - potential sources of creating large magnetic and electric
fields, such as motors and generators.
(9) If electrical heating is considered, consult the factory.
(10) If heat retention is desired, do not allow lagging material to cover up the meter adapter and register
assembly.
