2.1 Mount in free-stream application (flanged
fitting)
Prerequisites
Free-stream (flanged) installations are recommended for processes with the following
conditions:
Flow
Viscosity
Temperature
Procedure
See Figure 2-1
stream application.
Important
Always install the meter horizontally and oriented so that the gap between the tines is vertical. This
position helps to prevent the trapping of bubbles or solids on the meter – allowing the solids to sink
and the bubbles to rise. You can use the scribe mark on the spigot (located between the flange and
transmitter) as a reference for the tine orientation. Always orient the meter so the scribe mark is at
either the 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock position.
