Applications with hot liquids:
Flowmax 44i is used in applications with liquid temperatures hotter than 60°C
If
and mounted horizontally then the flow meter should be mounted with the

Warning!
Installation in metallic pipes in combination with high medium
temperatures
Note that the metal tube and the plastic housing of the measuring device have a
different expansion behavior! The resultant force acting on the meter forces can
WARNING!
cause the plastic housing of Flowmax 44i warps and the process connection
breaks off.
To ensure the mechanical stress-free mounting of Flowmax 44i, is on site to
ensure by appropriate measures that no forces can act on the plastic housing,
for example, a flexible metal hose or a strain curve.
