Application Guidelines

Basic Requirements
● Determine pipe material and dimensions.
● Avoid vertical pipes flowing in a downward direction.
● Avoid installation of transducers on the top and bottom of horizontal pipes, if possible.
● Select a location with the longest straight run of pipe.
● Identify upstream piping configuration (elbow, reducer, etc.).
● Pipe surface should be smooth and, if necessary, free of paint.
● Avoid pressure reduction components upstream.
● Avoid mounting on or near weld seams.
Additonal Requirements for Liquid Applications
● Pipe must be full to achieve proper operation.
