2.2.2 Installing Wafer-Style Flowmeters
Install the wafer-style meter between two conventional pipe flanges of the same nominal size as the flowmeter (see
below). If the process fluid is a liquid, make sure the meter is located where the pipe is always full. This may
require locating the meter at a low point in the piping system.
Note:
Vortex flowmeters are not suitable for two-phase flows, such as liquid and gas mixtures.
For horizontal pipelines having a process temperature above 300° F, mount the meter at a 45 or 90-degree angle to
avoid overheating the electronics enclosure. To adjust the viewing angle of the enclosure or display/keypad, see
“Display/Keypad Adjustment (All Meters)” on page 30
“Enclosure Adjustment (Series MV80 Only)” on page 31
.
Figure 6: Wafer-Style Flowmeter Installation
When installing the meter make sure the section marked with a flow arrow is positioned upstream of the outlet, with the
arrow head pointing in the direction of flow. (The mark is on the wafer adjacent to the enclosure mounting neck.) This
ensures that the sensor head is positioned downstream of the vortex shedder bar and is correctly aligned to the flow.
Installing the meter opposite this direction will result in completely inaccurate flow measurement.
CAUTION!
When using toxic or corrosive gases, purge the line with inert gas for a minimum of four
hours at full gas flow before installing the flowmeter.
FLOW
Enclosure and
display/keypad
are adjustable to suit
most viewing angles.
Incorrect gasket position!
Do not allow any gasket
material to extend into
the flow profile.
Shedder bar (bluff body)
is positioned upstream
of the sensor.
