Layout of piping
Meter installation
Easy access for reading the meter and controlling the ancillary equipment is important.
Provided that the arrow on the housing is in the direction of flow, the meter can be installed in any position without any special modifica-
tions. The display is adjusted to the installed position in situ.
Do not mount the meter with the head pointing downwards. Flow conditioners are unnecessary.
The layout of piping must ensure that the meter is filled with liquid at all times and that no inclusions of air or gas may occur.
The quantities from all consumers must be registered by the meter.

Correct layout of meter and accessories
If the meter is used for viscosities in excess of 5 mPa.s, or if it is mounted on the suction side of a pump, the pressure loss and the flow
rate that can still be attained should be determined with the help of the pressure loss curves provided in CONTOIL
®
Technical Information.
In addition, the pressure loss due to installed filters must be taken into consideration.
Select the meter and ancillaries according to the max. working conditions.
• Operating pressure and temperature
• Ambient temperature –10° C … 60° C
• Resistance of the material against: liquid to be metered, working conditions
• Flow rate
The meters are to be selected according to the flow rate and not according to the pipe diameter. If necessary, adapt the pipework.
