3.7 Setting the Insertion Depth
3.7.1 Centre Line Method for Pipe Diameters
1 m (
40 in.)
Referring to Fig. 3.9:
a
Determine the internal diameter (D).
b
Open the valve fully.
c
Slacken the nut.
d
Insert the flow sensor into the valve.
e
Slide the positioning collar down to the nut
and lock in place.
f
Retract the flow sensor fully.
g
Unlock, slide the positioning collar down
and lock at the distance:
h
Insert flow sensor to position the collar
depth.
i
Tighten to 40 Nm (30 ft lbf).
Warning.
When inserting or removing the flow sensor suitable restraining equipment must be used to
prevent the flow sensor being forced out under pressure. Ensure that the valve is fully open.
Note.
Safety restraint omitted for clarity.
