3.2.4 Rotor orientation and final positioning
Note:
Tighten the nuts above the packing gland to 34 N m (25 lbf ft) to stop leakage around
the stem.
Do not over tighten!
Caution:
Do not allow the orientation of the flowmeter or the insertion depth to change
after insertion is complete. A change in insertion depth or alignment will cause inaccurate
readings and shorten rotor life.
Step 1 -
Carefully insert the rotor into the pipe until the calculated scale reading on
the depth scale lines up with the arrow on the retractor bar assembly. If the
rotor is a 38 mm (1.5") size (RIM10-600 with ASME [ANSI] Class 150 flanged
connection), line up the bottom arrow on the retractor bar assembly marked 1.5
with the depth scale as shown in Figure 10.
Step 2 -
Align the rotor by using the orientation lever so the flow direction arrow is in line
with the pipe and pointing downstream.
Step 3 -
Tighten the nuts above the packing gland to 34 N m (25 lbf ft) to stop leakage
around the stem.
Do not over tighten!
Step 4 -
Lock the stem in position by tightening the orientation lock screw.
