Assembly Of The Flowmeter; Fig. 3: Mounting Examples For Flowmax 44I - MIB Flowmax 44i Operating Manual


Flowmax 44i
Particles present in the flow stream may result in measuring errors.
When using pumps, Flowmax 44i must be installed in flow direction on the
pressure side, on order to ensure sufficient pressure.
Do not exceed the maximum pressure allowance for of the Flowmax 44i
(see section 5.2 Technical specifications). Exceed the maximum pressure
or the maximum torque can lead to destruction or rupture of the Flowmax
44i.
For correct volume flow measurements straight and unobstructed inflow and
outflow distances have to be observed. Starting from the connection thread
these straight and unobstructed flow zones must be:
Nominal diameter
Inflow distance
Outflow distance
Always make sure that the maximum torque of the nuts for the hydraulic
connections is not exceeded. Use the delivered seals and the maximum torque
depending on the diameter:
Nominal diameter
Inch thread, torque:

2.2 Assembly of the flowmeter

The flowmeter is mounted into a pipe system by using the mechanical
connection. Flowmax 44i should be mounted vertically into the pipe for the best
measuring performance. Do not install the flowmeter after a dosing valve where
the flowmeter can run empty. Placing the flowmeter after a dosing valve and
allowing it to run empty will cause a measuring deviation at the next
measurement. To avoid bubbles in the liquid, Flowmax 44i should be installed
on the pressure side of the pump.
