Unobstructed Flow Requirements
Select an installation site that will minimize possible distortion in the
flow profile. Valves, elbows, control valves and other piping compo-
nents may cause flow disturbances. Check your specific piping condi-
tion against the examples shown below. To achieve accurate and re-
peatable performance, install the flow meter using the recommended
number of straight run pipe diameters upstream of the sensor.
