2.3.2 Installing Flowmeters with a Compression Connection (cont.)
Example:
To install a Series MV82 meter with a standard probe (S = 29.47 inches) into a 14 inch schedule 40 pipe, the following
measurements (in inches) are taken:
•
F = 3 inches
•
R = 5 inches
•
t = 0.438 inches
Then, using the formula given in Figure 11 on page 20, the insertion length for this example is 21.03 inches. Insert the
stem through the fitting until an insertion length of 21.03 inches is measured with a ruler.
