3.2 Installation
In order to provide a perfect functioning and to prevent the meter from eventual
damages, please follow the following installation instructions.
Caution: •

3.2.1 Meter orientation

Meters can operate accurately in any pipeline orientation. Meters can be installed in
horizontal as well as in vertical pipelines.
Meters perform best when placed vertically with liquid flowing upward as it prevents
solids build-up.
When installing the meter on a horizontal pipe, mount the meter to the pipe with the
flow-measuring electrode axis in a horizontal plane as it prevents that gas bubbles
result in a temporary isolation of the flow-measuring electrodes.
Carefully observe the forward flow label on the meter body and install the meter
accordingly.

3.2.2 Inlet and outlet pipe

Always install the detectors in front of fittings producing turbulences. If this is simply not
possible, foresee distances of > 3 x DN. Distance ought to be > 2 x DN.
Use lifting lugs when lifting meter flow tubes that are 150 in diameter or
larger.
Do not lift meter on measuring amplifier or on detector's neck.
Do not lift meter with a fork lift on the jacket sheet. This could damage
the body.
Never place rigging chains, forklift forks, etc inside or through the meter's
flow pipe for hoisting the meter. This could damage the isolating liner.
Carefully observe the forward flow label on the meter body and install
the meter accordingly.
As for detectors with PTFE liner, remove protective cap on the flange or
on the threaded pipes of milk pipe screws as per DIN 11851 not until
shortly before installation.
