Ultrasonic Flow Meter

Installation Instructions

Note : The housing of UltraFlo is labeled with an arrow symbolizing the direction of the flow measurement. The flow meter has to be
installed in a way so that the flowthrough is in the same direction as the arrow symbol.
The housing of Flowmeter is labeled with an arrow symbolizing the direction of the flow. The flowmeter must be installed in direction of
the flow.
For fastest possible bubble detection it is important to keep the pipe distance to UltraFlo as short as possible. Accurate measurement can
only be assured, if the pipe is completely filled and the liquid does not outgas.
Notwithstanding it may be advantageous for dosing applications to install the UltraFlo
soft pipes change the cross-section depending on the system pressure. This may lead to repeatable differences.
Note : Insure that no cavitation dissolve from the measured liquid. Depending on the measured liquid it can be helpful to have enough
back pressure on the outlet of UltraFlo
Particles present in the flow stream may result in measuring errors!

For correct volume flow measurements straight and unobstructed inflow and outflow distances have to be observed. Starting from the
connection thread these straight and unobstructed flow zones must be:
