3.4 Mounting the Flowmeter
Warning!
Note the following points before installing the flowmeter:
•
Remove all packaging used for transport and protective coverings from the
flowmeter before installing the flowmeter in the pipeline.
•
Ensure that the inner diameters of the gaskets are identical to or larger than
those of the meter body and process piping. Gaskets that protrude into the
flow affect vortex formation behind the bluff body and lead to inaccurate
measurement. Therefore, the gaskets delivered by TLV come with a slightly
larger inner diameter than the measuring pipe.
•
Confirm the gaskets are not dirty or damaged.
•
Ensure that the direction of the arrow on the sensor body matches the flow
direction (direction of medium flow in the piping).
•
Mount the flowmeter or rotate the transmitter housing so that the cable
entries do not face upward.
Mounting EF200 Flangeless Version
Mounting the flangeless body is carried out using a mounting set (see Fig. 9)
Caution!
By tightening the bolts (tie rods) after fitting the centering rings to the flange
rims on the meter body, it is possible to align the meter body with the piping
and fill the space between the bolts (tie rods) and the meter body. However
the centering rings are not secured to the meter body.
