Straight Inlet; Operating Pressure - Kamstrup ULTRAFLOW 54 Technical Description

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

7.2 Straight inlet

®
ULTRAFLOW 54 requires neither straight inlet nor straight outlet to meet the Measuring Instruments Directive
(MID) 2004/22/ EC, OIML R75:2002 and EN 1434:2007. A straight inlet section will only be necessary in case of
heavy flow disturbances before the meter. We recommend following the guidelines of CEN CR 13582.
Optimal position can be obtained if you take the below-mentioned installation methods into consideration:
For general information concerning installation see CEN report DS/CEN/CR 13582, Heat meter Installation.
Instructions in selection, installation and use of heat meters.

7.3 Operating pressure

In order to prevent cavitation the back pressure at ULTRAFLOW
This applies to temperatures up to approx. 80 °C. ULTRAFLOW
ambient pressure (vacuum). For further information on operating pressure, see paragraph 8.7 Guidelines for
dimensioning ULTRAFLOW
