When positioning the flow meter, refer to the flow direction indicator
attached to the probe. For proper operation, install the meter with the
flow direction indicator pointing downstream in the direction of flow.
Installing the meter opposite this direction may result in inaccurate
flow measurement. To install the flow meter:
1.
Turn off the flow of process gas. Verify that the line is not pres-
surized. Confirm that the installation site meets the minimum up-
stream pipe diameter requirements shown in Table 2-1.
2.
Prepare the fluid connection fittings or flanges in the pipeline.
(Fitting components should be blown clean with filtered gas be-
fore use.) Mount in a vertical position. For horizontal pipelines
having a process gas temperature above 300° F (130°C), mount
the flow meter at a 90-degree angle to avoid overheating the
electronics enclosure.
3.
Seat the flow meter level and square on the mating fluid connec-
tions with a gasket in place for each side for flange types. (Make
sure both gaskets are smooth and even with no gasket material
protruding into the flow profile; obstructions in the pipeline could
cause inaccurate flow measurement.) Make sure that the flow di-
rection indicator is pointing downstream in the direction of flow.
4.
Secure the fluid connections as specified in the technical
guidelines furnished by the fitting or flange manufacturer.
5.
If needed, adjust the optional display to the desired orientation,
as follows.
Caution!
When using toxic or cor-
rosive gases, purge the
line with inert gas for a
minimum of four hours at
full gas flow before in-
stalling the flow meter.
