3.4.3 Pipelines with control valve
INFORMATION!
To ensure smooth and correct measurement, the manufacturer recommends not installing the
measuring device downstream from a control valve. This would run the risk of vortex formation,
which would distort the measuring result.
Figure 3-6: Pipelines with control valve
1 Recommended: installing the device before the control valve at a distance of ≥ 5 DN
2 Not recommended: installing the device directly downstream of control valves, due to vortex formation
3.4.4 Preferred mounting position
Figure 3-7: Preferred mounting position
1 Above a horizontal pipe
2 Underneath a horizontal pipe (not permitted with lines at risk of condensate forming)
3 On a vertical pipe
4 Horizontal pipeline with signal converter-orientation 90° to the side
INFORMATION!
Depending on the installation position, you may have to rotate the display and/or the connection
housing.
