9 Sensor installation
9.2 Installation procedure
The following steps explain the procedure of an appropriate installation.
9.2.1 Calculating the installation depth
Center installation is the default and recommended installation method.
The sensor tip must be placed in the center of the pipe. The meter shaft
has a scale engraved. To determine the right position, please calculate
the insertion depth as described below.
Insertion depth
=
x
+
y
x
=
OD
2
;OD
is Outer Diameter of the pipe
y
=
length of the ball valve
Calculation example:
A 2”-diameter pipe and an 87 mm-
length ball valve:
OD
=
60.3 mm
x
=
OD
2
=
60.3 mm
2
=
30.15 mm
y
=
87 mm
;
Insertion depth
= 30.15 mm
+
87 mm
=
117.15 mm
