2 Installation Instructions
2.1 Planning the Installation
2.1.1 General Guidelines
The viscosity transmitter will function at its best if you take note of the following
general installation rules.
• Do not install the transmitter where it can be subject to mechanical
damage.
• The media must be well mixed and may not contain particles larger than
permitted by selected measuring basket, see the physical specifications in
section 1.2:
Technical Data .
• The flow velocity of the media should not exceed 2 m/s (6.6 ft/s).
• Do not install the transmitter in a downflow section of pipe, since there
might be air in the pipe.
• The viscosity of non-Newtonian media is affected by the velocity of the
media in the pipe. For best possible measuring result on these types of
media, we recommend that the media velocity in the pipe is kept as low
and constant as possible.
• Make sure that the transmitter is equipped with suitable sensor blade for
the topical viscosity.
