Sprinkler measuring orifice Description Field of application The sprinkler measuring orifice SMB is a measuring device employed to measure the flow rate in pipework of stationary sprinkler systems. Design and function Due to physical reasons, dif ferent pressure potentials are found on both sides of the orifice (5).
Sprinkler measuring orifice Installation direction of flow Installation direction of flow from left to right from right to left Installation direction of flow Installation direction of flow from top to bottom from bottom to top Ill. 2 Installation variants Thanks to the special articulated design, the dial gauge of the sprinkler measuring orifice pivots by 180 degrees in both directions.
Sprinkler measuring orifice Installation Installation may be effected by trained personnel only! Preparation for installation • Verify the local conditions and the direction of flow inside the pipework at the place of installation of the sprinkler measuring orifice. • M a k e s u r e t h a t t h e...

Sprinkler measuring orifice 10.4 Inlet and outlet paths Ill. 8 The optimum accuracy is obtained, if the pipe configuration conforms to the VdS guidelines. The following inlet and outlet sections that must not contain any valves, knees, elbows, changes in cross-section or similar, apply to the various SMB models. When using pumps creating fluctuations in the volume flow (possible with centrifugal pumps driven by a diesel engine), we recommend to extend the inlet section from 10 d to 18 d.
CE-regulations of the European Community. The respective declaration of conformity is available on request. The Kirchner und Tochter QM-System will be certified in accordance with DIN-EN-ISO 9001:2000. The quality is systematically adapted to the increasing demands.
