Product installation

6.1. Installation notes

Note:

The device is not suitable for use in gaseous media and steam.

Minimum straight distances upstream and downstream of the sensor must be observed. These stabilizing distances depend on the pipe’s

design. Increasing these distances or installing a flow conditioner may be necessary to obtain the best accuracy. Fore more information,

refer to EN ISO 5167-1.

EN ISO 5167-1 specifies the straight inlet and outlet distances that must be complied with when installing fittings in pipe lines in order to

achieve calm flow conditions. The most commonly used elements that could lead to turbulence in the flow are shown below. The related

minimum inlet and outlet distances that ensure a calm flow are also specified.

Make sure that the measuring conditions at the point of measurement are calm and problem-free.

1.) If the valve cannot be mounted after the measuring device, the minimal distances have to be respected.

2.) If an expansion cannot be avoided, the minimal distances have to be respected.
