Flowmeter Installation; Material Loads For Process Connections - ABB VA Master FAM540 Commissioning Instructions

6.4.1

Flowmeter installation

NOTE
Potential damage to the device!
— Vacuum shocks in the piping must be prevented for
devices with PTFE liners (FAM545). Vacuum shocks can
destroy the device.
The device can be installed at any location in a pipeline under
consideration of the installation conditions.
1. Remove protective plates, if present, from above and
below the meter tube. Ensure that internal parts such as
floats or the conical meter pipe do not fall out and become
damaged.
2. Remove the wooden stick serving as a transport securing
device from the meter tube.
3. Position the meter tube coplanar and centered between
the piping.
4. Install gaskets between the sealing surfaces.
NOTE
For achieve the best results, ensure the gaskets fit
concentrically with the meter tube
5. Use the appropriate screws for the holes.
6. Slightly grease the threaded nuts.
7. Tighten the nuts in a crosswise manner as shown in the
figure.
NOTE
Torques for screws depend on temperature, pressure, screw
and gasket materials. The relevant applicable regulations
must be taken into consideration.
