Non-vertical
If non-vertical mounting is required, the deviation from vertical should not exceed 90°.
If mounted beyond 90°, the isolation valve may trap steam or hazardous chemicals,
presenting a danger to persons servicing the RIM10 Series of rotor insertion flowmeters.
These flowmeters should always be self-draining.
Overhead clearance
A minimum of 300 mm (12") of overhead clearance is recommended for ease of installation.
Easy accessibility
The installation location should be where the flowmeter will be easy for workers to safely
and conveniently access all parts of the flowmeter.
The RIM10 must never exceed
90° from vertical with the turbine
sensor remaining perpendicular
to the pipe.
