IN-LINE FLOW METERS
In-line mounting styles are available through Sage
Metering, Inc. in sizes from 1/4" pipe through 4"
pipe. Threaded male NPT ends are standard up to
2-1/2"; ANSI 150lb flanged ends are recommended
for 3" and 4" models. Contact the factory if optional
end mounting styles are required. Pipe sizes in excess
of 4" require the insertion style mass flow meter.
The in-line style flow meter assembly flow section is
typically specified to match the user’s flow conduit
and is plumbed directly in the flow line by thread-
LENGTH “L” SAME AS NON-FLANGED METER
(See table on page 27. For example, 1"x8" flow
body has an 8" length. The length will be the same
whether an NPT flow body, or whether flanged.
If a flanged flow body, the 8" dimension will be
a Face-to-Face dimension.)

with NPT fitting.
1 Note, Flow conditioning is also available for Insertion Meter applications (see page 13)
ing, flanging, welding, etc. DO NOT USE REDUCERS.
It includes the sensing element (a self-heated flow
sensor and a temperature/reference sensor) mounted
directly in the specified flow section for exposure to
the process gas; a sensor drive circuit; microprocessor
meter board, and transmitter enclosure.
All in-line Flow Meters, 1/2" and up have built-in
Flow Conditioners. See Table (page 10) for Upstream
Straight run requirements. Note, the 1/4" and 3/8"
do not have Flow Conditioners and thus require
more straight run.
