6.1.3 Installation position

Rotamass Total Insight Coriolis mass flow and density meters can be mounted horizon-
tally, vertically and at an incline. The measuring tubes should be completely filled with the
medium during this process as accumulations of air or formation of gas bubbles in the
measuring tube may result in errors in measurement. Straight pipe runs at inlet or outlet
are not required.
Sideways
The sideways position must be avoided when installing the flow meter, because this may
position
result in a deterioration of accuracy.

In case of fluids, install the measuring tubes downward so as to avoid gas accumula-
tion in case of a low flow rate.
For gas applications, install the measuring tubes upward so as to avoid fluid accumu-
lation in case of a low flow rate.
