Mounting - ICS Schneider Messtechnik induQ IVMI Series Operating Manual

— Series IVMI
Installation can occur in horizontal and vertical pipes. The flow sensor is only suitable for
•
application in completely filled pipe systems.
As a matter of principle, magnetic inductive flow sensors are widely independent from the
•
flow profile. An inlet section is not necessary.
To reach a most highly accuracy of the measurement, you should use straight inlet and
outlet sections according to the nominal width (DN). The inlet section has to be at least
10 x DN; the outlet section 5 x DN in order to achieve the specified accuracy.
The inlet and outlet sections and the gaskets must have the same or a slightly larger in-
•
side diameter than the measuring tube in order to achieve the specified accuracy.

3.2 Mounting

The IVMI is installed directly into the pipeline. The compact design and lightweight of the
unit make wall mounting unnecessary.
IMPORTANT
Only use suitable gaskets for installation.
•
Observe the flow direction indicated on the
•
IVMI.
Observe the mounting dimensions ( p. 33).
•
 Select an appropriate location for installation ( p. 22).
To ensure the best possible measuring accuracy, a vertical
installation position with increasing flow is preferable (no col-
lecting of dirt deposits).
 Install the appropriate screwed connections at the installation
location.
 Insert the IVMI together with the gaskets.
 Screw the union nuts of the screwed connection onto the
pro-cess connections of the IVMI.
PAY ATTENTION TO MAXIMUM TORQUE
While tightening, counter the union nut on the hex-
agon of the process connection!
If you do not counter it, the IVMI can be damaged!
