Caution!
Do not use conductive sealing compounds such as graphite. This could
result in a conductive layer on the inside of the flow tube that short-
circuits the measuring signal.
8.3.1 Installation in pipes with larger nominal sizes
The flowmeter can also be installed in pipes with larger nominal sizes by using pipe tapers
(e.g. flange transition pieces in accordance with DIN EN 545). However, the resulting pressure
loss must be taken into consideration. In order to avoid flow interruptions in the flow tube, a
reducing angle ≤ 8° for the tapers should be adhered to.
8.3.2 Horizontal and vertical installation
The flowmeter can be installed wherever required, whereby the intended
x-y
electrode axis
should run almost horizontal. A vertical Electrode axis should be avoided as otherwise the
accuracy could be affected by the gas pockets or the solid particles in the fluid.
Incorrect installation
for horizontal pipe system
Correct installation system
8.3 Installation
Screws, bolts, nuts and seals are not supplied and must therefore be provided by the operator.
Install the sensor between the pipes. Please observe the required torques stated Section
8.3.4. The installation of additional grounding rings is described in Section 8.3.3. Use for
the flanges only seals in accordance with DIN 2690. Mounted seals must not reach into the
pipe cross section.
