The process gas flow bypasses the meter, but should be low enough [for example,
3
5 lt/hrs (0.176 ft /hr)] to not be of significance.
The measured density is the upstream density.
The control valve and the flowmeter can be mounted on either side of the meter to
suit the installation and dependent on where the density point is.
