Pipeline forces/torque
The pipeline must not exert any forces and torques on the
insertion sensor (for example, vibration).
Figure 7 Vibration
Spillage onto the insertion sensor
Do not install the insertion sensor in an area where a spillage of
any substance could damage the insertion sensor.
Figure 8 Spillage
Flow direction
The insertion sensor can be installed in one of two positions in
the pipe:
• On the center line, or
•
At the mean axial velocity point (1/8 pipe diameter)
It can also be traversed across the pipe to determine the
velocity profile.
Install the insertion sensor in the pipe so the flow direction
arrow on the insertion sensor handle matches the pipe flow.

Environmental rating
Ensure the level of IP rating is correct for the required meter
installation application. IP68 (NEMA 6P) rated meters can be
submerged continuously.
