Orient the primary element
The primary element can be installed in any position around the circumference
of the pipe, provided the vents are positioned within the recommended zone to
allow for bleeding or venting. Orienting the unit within the recommended zone
will also prevent inaccurate measurements. Determine the orientation based on
the application type, mounting type, flow direction, single or dual transmitter
and the flowmeter's orientation in relation to the pipe.
For steam applications, remote mount is recommended for vertical flow
applications. For liquid applications, flow down is not a recommended
installation.
