Installing the meter body (option) in the pipeline
The meter body shall be installed in the pipeline in a way that the arrow marking on it
corresponds to the flow direction. The flow will be output from the measuring system as a
positive value if the sender/receiver units master and slave for cross-duct versions are
mounted according to
Required installation work
Position the FLOWSIC100 Flare at the desired section of the pipeline using the lifting
gear.
Check for correct seating and alignment of the flange gasket after installing the flange
bolts, but prior to tightening.
Align the meter body of the FLOWSIC100 Flare such that the offsets between inlet pipe,
meter body and outlet pipe are minimized.
Insert the remaining fastening bolts and tighten the nuts cross-wise. The tightening
torque applied must not be lower than specified in the project planning.
Mount the pressure sensing line between pressure tap (option) and pressure transmit-
ter (option).
Fill the pipeline and check the installed FLOWSIC100 Flare with meter body and piping
connections for leaks.
For achieving full measuring range and specified accuracies adhere to the geometric
tolerances listed in
For applications with highest requirements regarding accuracy and measuring range, the
meter body may also be delivered by SICK. The manufacturing tolerances are then
guaranteed.
WARNING:
Danger due to size and mass of the meter body
The lifting eyes are designed for transporting the meter only. Flange sealing
surfaces, nozzles and blank flanges may be damaged when the lifting gear is
not attached properly.
Do not lift the FLOWSIC100 Flare using these eyes when additional loads
(such as blank flanges, filling for pressure tests or piping) are attached
(
If lifting straps are used, wrap them around the meter body.
The FLOWSIC100 Flare must not turn over or start to swing while being
transported.
Take suitable measures to prevent damage to the meter when carrying out
any other work (welding, painting) near the FLOWSIC100 Flare.
We recommend performing a leak test in accordance with the relevant
regulations and standards after completion of the mechanical installation.
