MT100 Multipoint Flow Meter
Compression Fitting Installation (MT100S)
A compression fitting flow element sensor is used for multi-single point insertion applications. The adjustable length of the compression fitting
allows for precise sensor placement inside the pipe. The flow element is properly mounted when the center of the sensor head divides the pipe into
equal areas as shown in Figure 14 below. The scale etched on the side of the insertion pipe indicates the length to the tip of the flow element.
1. Ascertain the insertion depth of the flow element probes as shown in Figure 14 below.
2. Mark the insertion pipe at the calculated insertion depth.
3. Apply proper thread sealant to the tapered pipe thread on the compression fitting and secure into pipe mounting coupling.
4. Insert the flow element to the insertion depth mark making sure the reference flat is aligned parallel to the flow direction. Hand tighten
the compression nut. Compression fitting manufacturer recommends 1-1/4 turns past hand tight.
5. Tighten the compression nut to the torque specified for the corresponding ferrule material. See
