3.3 Mounting restrictions
3.3.1 General installation principles
Figure 3-1: General mounting restictions
1
Fully support the weight of the meter. The meter can be supported with clamps close to the connecting flanges.
2
Do not use extreme reductions in process pipework size.
3
Make sure that the process pipework is full at all times.
4
Do not let the flow fall in the process pipework. Low process flow will cause a measuring error.
5
If the meter has been installed with an open-ended down-pipe, Install an orifice plate or restrictor (
1
) to make sure
that the pipework remains full during measurement. A fast-acting batch or shut-off valve (
2
) should also be installed
downstream of the meter.
6
It is recommended that you DO NOT mount the meter at the highest point in the pipework because it can cause air /
gas to collect in the meter.
