3.1 Installation in pipes
The FMT 3 possesses G1" external threads on both sides which allow it to be installed in any pipe.
When doing so, please ensure that the meter is not under mechanical stress due to tension/pressure
or bending. To avoid this, an elastic equalizing element is to be used, and the lines are to be
supported in a suitable manner. In order to prevent damage, the tightening torque at the G1"
external threads are not to exceed 30 Nm.
The flow direction can be chosen freely.
We recommend the use of front-side flat seals or O-rings at the ends of the screw threads for
sealing purposes.
After being screwed into the pipe, the electronic housing can be rotated freely around the
measurement tube. This allows the display to be brought into a position that is comfortable for the
user.
The pressure surges that occur in the pipe are not to exceed the nominal pressure.
