Installation

Use the following mounting and installation instructions so that
the sensing element will operate properly.
• Sensing element should be mounted in a section of pipe
as close to center and as parallel to the pipe as possible
• Factory calibration assumes mounting on the pipe
centerline and in the correct size pipe
• Vertical mounting (tip down) is preferred but not
essential
• Gas bubbles must be excluded from the active area
by maintaining pressure (if necessary, a degasser
upstream) as bubbles decrease system accuracy
• Do not take sensing element apart or loosen the packing
glands
• In large pipe installations (over 8 inches) the length of
the cote shield section must be long enough that the
cutout in the concentric tube is in the actual flow of oil
• For large pipe with no bend (18 inches or larger) it is
possible to mount the sensing element at 45 degree
angle to provide sufficient flow through the shield.
