    INSTRUCTION MANUAL VALUMASS SERIES INSTALLATION, WIRING, AND DIMENSIONS Title: This document is the property of Eldridge Products Inc. and shall not be copied or used without written authorization. General Installation and Guidelines The Valumass™ thermal dispersion sensor must be exposed to the flowing gas within the process pipe at a location that provides a uniform and consistent flow profile across the pipe diameter.
  • Page 7: Straight Run Requirements

    General Guideline for Minimum Straight Run Requirements Note: 10x within the illustration represents 10 ID lengths and 15x represents 15 ID lengths and so forth. Some of EPI inline flow meters come with flow conditioning plates that can assist with shorter upstream conditions. Consult factory...
  • Page 8: Installation Of Inline Flow Meters

    The flow section is typically specified to match the user’s flow conduit and is plumbed directly in the flow line. Inline mounting styles are available through EPI for line sizes 1/4" pipe and larger. Consult our factory for flow section end mounting options.

    The tube length will be determined by EPI based upon the installation specifications.
  • Page 10: Insertion Depth Guidelines

    *For other pipe sizes: please use the insertion depth with the nearest inside diameter associated with your process pipe, or contact the EPI Service department Final Equation: Depth + Fitting Height = Total Depth from top of fitting to probe end.
