WARNING
Unsuitable connecting parts
Risk of injury or poisoning.
In case of improper mounting hot, toxic and corrosive process media could be released at
the connections.
● Ensure that connecting parts (such as flange gaskets and bolts) are suitable for connection
and process media.
4.2.1.3
Mounting the sensor
● Install the sensor in well-supported pipelines in order to support the weight of the
flowmeter.
Figure 4-4
Avoid vibrations
● Center the connecting pipelines axially in order to assure a stress-free installation. The
flowmeter must not be used to bring the rest of the pipework into line; make sure the
pipework is correctly aligned before inserting the flow sensor.
● Install two supports or hangers symmetrically and stress-free on the pipeline in close
proximity to the process connections.
Note
Handling
Never lift the flowmeter using the housing, that is always lift the sensor body.
Avoid vibrations
● Make sure that any valves or pumps upstream of the sensor do not cavitate and do not
send vibrations into the sensor.
● Decouple vibrating pipeline from the flow sensor using flexible tube or couplings.
