Requirement for straight inlet before flowmeter
In order to maximise performance it is necessary to have straight inlet and outlet flow conditions
before and after the flowmeter.
Furthermore, a minimum distance between flowmeter and pumps and valves must be
respected.
It is also important to centre the flowmeter in relation to flanges and gaskets.
Make sure that the flowmeter is positioned as low as possible to prevent air from being trapped
in the flowmeter at the transducers.
Find a position on the pipeline where the inlet pipe to the flowmeter has a straight length as
specified below.
Note
For MID approved FUE380 systems the following inlet pipe is recommend:
L2 for sizes > DN 80: 1.5 m (2 m) or
L2 for sizes < DN 65: 10 x DN.
