Check the completeness of the delivery against the packing list. Check the name plate, if the delivered flow meter according to your order. 3.2 Installation instructions Installation of the orifice plate Before and after the orifice plate a straight calming section is provided as a function of the nominal diameter (D). With an installation of an one quarter pipe (independend of the direction) the distance of the inlet path of min. 5 x D and an outflow zone of 2 x D is required. The connected pipes have to be of the same size as the orifice plate. Tornatech - GT-FluxFP... - Page 8 Fig. 4 Inlet path and outflow zone at 5 x D with an one quarter pipe When using valves, fittings, ... before the orifice plate, an inlet path of min. 10 x D is always required. The outflow zone has to be min. 2 x D (fig. 5). » An inlet path of min. 10 x D is required if a valve, fitting or T-piece pipe is mounted be- fore, where at least 5 x D must be available as a straight inlet section directly in front of the orifice plate (fig. 5).

7.2). The tightening of the nut or the cap should be done by hand as possible. The threads must - for example be slippery - by fat. To avoid air strikes, the tube should be slowly filled with water. 3.3 Mode of operation The orifice plate flowmeter GT-FluxFP consists of an orifice plate (fig. 9/10, pos. 1) for stationary installation and a portable bypass meter (fig. 9, pos. 2). The bypass meter con- tains a conical glass tube (fig. 9, pos. 3) with float (fig. 9, pos. 4). The water flows vertically from top to bottom through the flow tube at the upper end of a side panel (fig. 9, pos. 5) is arranged. A filter (fig. 9, pos. 13) at the inlet largely prevents the ingress of foreign bodies. -

If removed the measure- ment tube must be drained and stored in the supplied packaging. The open orifice on the flow meter body must be sealed pressure tight with the cap (incl. seal) supplied.
