6.4 Installation Guidelines

6.4.1 Standard piping conditions

(1) A Coriolis mass flowmeter is unaffected by the flow pattern of process fluid. Basically, therefore,
it does not require any flow straightener. However, connection to a piping with different diameter
should be done using a concentric reducer or tapered pipe.
(2) Locate the meter sufficiently away from sources of vibration and pulsations.
(3) For use in zeroing, a valve that can shut off the process flow completely should be provided
downstream of the meter. (For maintenance purposes, installation of another valve upstream of the
meter is recommended.)
(4) Avoid giving pipe stress on the sensor.
Type U standard piping conditions
(While Type U meter is used in the installation examples below, the same applies to Types S and B.)
Flow direction
CAUTION: This meter is designed for flange mounting. It should be supported on the part
of the pipeline. Do not support the sensor body.
Although models CA00A and CA001 are designed to be sensor-body mounting,
make sure to provide the piping support both upstream and downstream of
the meter.
