Location and Position

3.1

Environmental considerations

To ensure maximum transmitter life, avoid extreme temperatures and
excessive vibration. Typical problem areas include the following:
• Tropical/desert installations in direct sunlight
• Outdoor installations in arctic climates
3.2 Upstream and downstream piping
To ensure specified accuracy over widely varying process conditions, it is
recommended to install the sensor with a minimum of five straight pipe
diameters upstream and two pipe diameters downstream from the
electrode plane.

A. Five pipe diameters (upstream)
B. Two pipe diameters (downstream)
C. Flow direction
Installations with reduced upstream and downstream straight runs are
possible. In reduced straight run installations, the meter may not meet
accuracy specifications. Reported flow rates will still be highly repeatable.
3.3

Flow direction

The sensor should be mounted so that the arrow points in the direction of
flow.
