  • Page 6: Installation

    KAM HIGHLY RECOMMENDS VERTICAL INSTALLATIONS WHEREVER POSSIBLE FOR OPTIMAL MIXING. PLEASE NOTE: In all KAM LRW Installations, the user should ensure that the KAM LRW is installed in a turbulent flow with the Reynolds Number above 2000. Additionally, all KAM LRW's should be installed in accordance with API MPMS Chapter 8, Section 2, Table 1, and in accordance with KAM mixing recommendations.
