Introduction Introduction Overview Dualpulse insertion flow transducers provide a cost effective and simple means of measuring the flow of a wide range of low viscosity liquids. Installation is quick and General arrangement inexpensive for pipe diameters ranging from 40mm to 900mm (1.5-36") and up to 2500mm (100") nominal bore for the Hot tap capable model DP525.

Installation Installation 2.3 Height adjustment calculation Calculate the adjustment height A for DP490 (or AA for the DP525) as follows: 2.1 Meter location Choose an appropriate section of horizontal or vertical pipe as per the guidelines below. A ( for DP490 ) = 175mm ( 6.9") - ( B + C + D ) With vertical pipe installations the media should be pumped up through the pipe past the AA ( for DP525 ) = 420mm (16.5") - ( B + C + D ) flow sensor so that any entrained air will pass freely.
