2. The location meets the required minimum number of pipe diameters upstream and downstream of the sensor
head as illustrated in Figure 4 on page 10.
3. Safe and convenient access with adequate overhead clearance for maintenance purposes.
4. Verify that the cable entry into the instrument meets the specific standard required for hazardous area
installations.

Valves or restrictions in the flow path which could create disturbances in the flow profile that might cause
