Mounting the sensor

• Install the sensor in well-supported pipelines in order to support the weight of the flowmeter.
• Center the connecting pipelines axially in order to assure a stress-free installation. The
flowmeter must not be used to bring the rest of the pipework into line; make sure the
pipework is correctly aligned before inserting the flow sensor.
• Install two supports or hangers symmetrically and stress-free on the pipeline in close
proximity to the process connections.
