Assembly Of The Flowmeter; Figure 3: Mounting Examples For Flowmax 54I - MIB Flowmax 54i Operating Manual

Assembly and installation
For correct volume flow measurements straight and unobstructed inflow and
outflow distances have to be observed. Starting from the connection thread these
straight and unobstructed flow zones must be:
Inflow distance
Outflow distance

2.2 Assembly of the flowmeter

The flowmeter is mounted into a pipe system by using the mechanical connection.
Flowmax 54i should be mounted vertically into the pipe for the best measuring
performance. Do not install the flowmeter after a dosing valve where the
flowmeter can run empty. Placing the flowmeter after a dosing valve and allowing
it to run empty will cause a measuring deviation at the next measurement. To
avoid bubbles in the liquid, Flowmax 54i should be installed on the pressure side
of the pump.
It is recommended to place the pump in the same plane as the container. Thus,
the pump runs independently full and there is caused no vacuum when
promoting.

Figure 3: Mounting examples for Flowmax 54i

If it is not possible to mount the flowmeter vertically, then mount the flowmeter in
a location where the pipe will be filled at all times. The best measuring result is
achieved if bubbles do not pass through Flowmax 54i.
