5.9. Thermal insulating material application
To prevent energy loss or ultrasonic flowmeter measurement trouble due to drainage or condensation, be sure to apply
thermal insulating material after mounting the detector to thermally insulate both the pipe and the detector.
CAUTION
Failure to thermally insulate the detector may expose the detector to the effects of external environmental
①
temperatures, possibly resulting in ultrasonic flowmeter measurement trouble, or preventing measurement
accuracy satisfying the values indicated in the specifications.
If steam flows from an environment at normal temperature, temperature will stabilize, and it will take
②
approximately 10 minutes until normal operation is possible.
