    This correction factor k is a value only depending on 5.1 Determination of Pipe Arrangement the ITABAR-Flow-Sensor-Profil. This value had been find out by INTRA-AUTOMATION empiri- For design reasons, the pipe arrangement at the cally. installation location has to be known before the sen- sor is manufactured.

Gases: For flow measurements of gases, the ITABAR sensor must be installed in the upper portion of the 5.2 Vertical Pipe Arrangement pipe diameter.
  • Page 4 ITABAR Flow Sensor Type IBF Operating Manual The ITABAR sensor operates on the basis of simple physical principles. The sensor is not affected by being slightly out of Its design incorporates no moving parts which are alignment. subject to wear. The influence on the accuracy of the measurements is negligible as long as the limits indicated in Figures 6, 7 and 8 are not exceeded.

    ITABAR Flow Sensor Type IBF Operating Manual Installation of the ITABAR-Sensor point in the flow direction. Tighten the bolts and nuts. Observe the general installation notes! It is particularly important to make sure that the Note: distance from the gasket surface to the pipe agrees On flanges with eight bolt holes, the welding stud with H- dimension you gave in your order (see Fig.

    ITABAR Flow Sensor Type IBF Operating Manual 6.5 Installation of Type IBF-35 1. Drill a hole of 40mm diameter into the pipe. The subsequent Stepps correspond to the installation of the ITABAR sensor type IBF-20 ! Oberserve the H- dimension during the welding! (see also Fig.
  • Page 8 ITABAR Flow Sensor Type IBF Operating Manual When installing multi- directional valve block, make sure that all bolts are tightened uniformly and opposite bolts are tightened in sequence. ∆ p-Transmitter: For liquid measurements, the differential pressure transmitter should always be installed below the ITABAR sensor in order to avoid the occurrence of air bubbles in the instrument connections (see Fig.
  • Page 9: Measurement Start-Up

    ITABAR Flow Sensor Type IBF Operating Manual Measurement Start-Up Make sure that: all installation openings are closed (sensor end support IBF-21 / 26 / 36 / 66). all installed parts are securely bolted together. all instrument valves are closed. Now the pipe can be cleared for the appropriate medium Check all connections, especially the flanges ∆...
