Inlet and outlet conditions
To achieve accurate flow measurement it is essential to have straight lengths of inlet and
outlet pipes and a certain distance to pumps and valves.
It is also important to centre the flowmeter in relation to pipe flanges and gaskets.
Installation in large pipes
The flowmeter can be installed between two reducers (e.g. DIN 28545). At 8° the following
pressure drop curves apply. The curves are applicable to water.
