Installation Manual Planning MMI-20020989 May 2019 Planning Installation checklist □ Verify the contents of the product shipment to confirm that you have all parts and information necessary for the installation. □ Verify that the meter calibration-type code corresponds to the pipe size. If it does not, measurement accuracy may be reduced due to the boundary effect.
Planning Installation Manual May 2019 MMI-20020989 Best practices The following information can help you get the most from your meter. • Handle the meter with care. Follow local practices for lifting or moving the meter. • Perform a Known Density Verification (KDV) check of the meter prior to installing the meter.

Planning Installation Manual May 2019 MMI-20020989 Other installation considerations Numerous external factors can affect the meter's successful operation. To ensure that your system works correctly, consider the factors covered in this section when designing your installation. 2.4.1 Boundary effect Boundary effect refers to the distortion in the wave forms in the process fluid that are caused by reflections from the pipe wall.

Installation Manual Planning MMI-20020989 May 2019 T-piece applications Flow rate 0.5 to 3 m/s at main pipe wall By increasing the insertion depth of the tines into the T-piece, the flow velocity can be increased to 5 m/s for clean fluids. For slurry applications, the maximum flow velocity should be no greater than 4 m/s.
2. Visually inspect the meter for any physical damage. If you notice any physical damage to the meter, immediately contact customer support at flow.support@emerson.com. 3. Position and secure the meter in a vertical position with the flow arrow pointing upward.

Installation Manual Mounting MMI-20020989 May 2019 Mounting If the meter's flow velocity is: • Below 0.3 to 0.5 m/s, install the meter as a free-stream application. • Above 0.3 to 0.5 m/s, install the meter as either a T-piece or flow chamber application. As an alternative, if the pipework can be expanded to reduce the flow velocity to between 0.3 to 0.5 m/s, install a free stream application.
