5.2. Selecting the mounting location
The detector mounting location, in other words on pipe at which flow rate is measured, will greatly affect measurement
accuracy, and therefore a location which satisfies the following conditions should be selected.
① Location with straight pipe indicated in "3.2.1 Conditions on straight pipe "
② There should be a space for maintenance around the pipe to which the detector is to be mounted. (Refer to "Fig. 5-2".)
③ The length of the sensor cable between the pre-amplifier unit and sensor unit is 2 m, and therefore the detector should
be installed in such a way that connection is possible.
④ The drainage should be discharged with steam traps and the steam humidity should be small.
⑤ Avoid places with rapid pressure fluctuation of 0.1 MPaG or above in 10 seconds.
Note) Ensure a space at both sides of the pipe to allow workers to carry out installation.
