Orienting The Sensor - Siemens SITRANS F M MAG 3100 sensor Operating Instructions Manual

Installing/Mounting

4.3 Orienting the sensor

Example:
A flow of 3 m/s (V) in a sensor with a diameter reduction from DN 100 to DN 80 (d
gives a pressure drop of 2.9 mbar.
4.3 Orienting the sensor
The sensor operates in all orientations, but Siemens has the following recommendations:
● Vertical installation with an upwards flow
Note
Gas/air bubbles in the liquid
A vertical installation minimizes any negative effect of gas/air bubbles in the liquid
● Horizontal installation, terminal box upwards
