4.1 Straight pipe sections
The point where the FLOMAT sensor will be installed must be a straight pipe section,
separated from elements that can disturb the flow profile, such as elbows, diameter
changes, etc. Depending on the element the minimum necessary distances upstream from
the sensor are shown on the next page (BS 1042-2.2:1983 standard):
2 RECEPTION
The FLOMAT electromagnetic flowmeters with XL1 converter are supplied conveniently
packaged for transportation together with their instruction manual for installation and
operation.
All the flowmeters have been verified in our calibration rigs to obtain the gain factor for each
sensor.
2.1 Unpacking
Unpack the instrument carefully, removing any remains of the packing.
2.2 Storage temperatures
-20ºC ...... +60ºC
3 HANDLING
It should always be done with care and without knocks.
4 INSTALLATION
This should be made in a straight pipe run that guarantees that the pipe is always completely
full.
Avoid high points of the pipes where air pockets usually form, or pipes with downwards
flow where vacuums can occur.
Partially full pipes can involve important reading errors.
Flow rate measurement with open discharge makes it necessary to install the flowmeter in a
pipe section with a siphon which avoids stagnation of air in the sensor.
