Unobstructed Flow Requirements
Select an installation site that will minimize possible distortion in the flow
profile. Valves, elbows, control valves and other piping components may
cause flow disturbances. Check your specific piping condition against the
examples shown below. In order to achieve accurate and repeatable per-
formance install the flow meter using the recommended number of
straight run pipe diameters upstream and downstream of the sensor.
Note: For liquid applications in vertical pipes, avoid installing with flow
in the downward direction because the pipe may not be full at all points.
Choose to install the meter with flow in the upward direction if possible.
