Installation in a dropline is only possible if a pipeline reduction or orifice with a smaller cross-
section can be installed to prevent the sensor from being partially drained during the
measurements.

Installation in drop line
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.
4.2.2.6
Mounting the sensor
• Install the sensor in well-supported pipelines in order to support the weight of the flowmeter.
• 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.
