● Valve position and straight pipe length
1. Install the valve on the downstream side of the vortex flowmeter.
Read the information above for the upstream straight pipe length
depending on the conditions, and ensure that the downstream
straight pipe length is 5D or more.
2. If the valve needs to be installed on the upstream of the vortex
flowmeter, ensure that the upstream straight pipe length is 20D or
more, and the downstream straight pipe length is 5D or more.
