IMPORTANT
Use bolts and nuts in compliance with the flange
ratings. When stud-type through-bolts are used,
be sure the outside diameter of the shank is
smaller than that of the thread ridge. Be sure to
choose a gasket with inner and outer diameters
that does not protrude inside the piping (refer to
Table 3.3.16). If the inner diameter of the gasket
is too large, or outer diameter of the gasket is
too small, fluid leakage may result.
(1) Mounting Direction
Mount the flowmeter so that the flow direction of the
fluid to be measured is in line with the direction of the
arrow mark on the flowmeter.
IMPORTANT
If it is impossible to match the direction of the
arrow mark, the direction of the electrical con-
nection can be changed. Refer to Section 5.1 to
do this properly.
In case the fluid being measured flows against
the arrow direction, refer to the parameter
J20:
Flow Direction
in the user’s manual of the
AXFA11 Magnetic Flowmeter Remote Converter
(IM 01E20C01-01E) or the AXFA14 Magnetic
Flowmeter Remote Converter/AXF Integral
Flowmeter [Software Edition] (IM 01E20C02-
01E).
(2) Mounting Centering Devices
To maintain concentricity of the flowmeter with the
pipes, install centering devices on the Mini-flanges of
the flowmeter. Use the appropriate centering devices
according to the nominal diameter and the flange
ratings.
(3) Positioning the Flowmeter
Pass two through-bolts through the adjacent holes of
both flanges and position the flowmeter so that the
Mini-flanges and the centering devices come in close
contact with each other. Pass the other through-bolts
through the other holes (refer to Figure 3.3.2 and
Figure 3.3.3). In case stud-type through-bolts are used,
position them in such a way that the centering devices
come in contact with the bolt threads.
