For a correct temperature measurement, the flow velocity on the sensor head must be > 2 m/s. An excessive temperature value is output if flow velocity is < 2 m/s. In accordance with NAMUR specification. Instructions for Use – SCHMIDT ® Flow sensor SS 20.260 Page 13...
Figure 7 Representation for medium temperature 6 Startup ® Prior to switching on the SCHMIDT Flow sensor SS 20.260, the follow- ing checks have to be carried out: Immersion depth of the sensor probe and alignment of the housing.
Check mounting conditions Sensor head is not in optimal position Run-in/run-out distance is too short Strong fluctuations of pressure or Check operating parameters temperature Table 6 Instructions for Use – SCHMIDT ® Flow sensor SS 20.260 Page 15...
