Select the mounting location in consideration of the following items from the viewpoint of ease of maintenance and inspection,
and maintaining the life and reliability of the flowmeter.
(1) Places where the ambient temperature and humidity are -15 to +60°C and 95% RH or less.
(2) Indoor or outdoor locations where there is no exposure to direct sunlight or wind and rain.
(3) A place that provides enough space for periodic inspection and wiring work.
(4) A place not subjected to radiated heat from a heating furnace, etc.
(5) A place not subjected to corrosive atmosphere.
(6) A place not to prone to submerging.
(7) A place free from excessive vibration, dust, dirt, and moisture.
(8) A place remote from electrical devices (motor, transformer, etc.) which generate electromagnetic induction
noise, electrostatic noise, etc.
(9) A place not subjected to excessive fluid pulsation such as pump discharge side.
(10) A place that provides enough place for the length of the straight pipe.
(11) Altitude: up to 2000 m
The flowmeter mounting location, in other words the place on the pipe at which the flow rate is measured, will greatly affect
measurement accuracy, and therefore a location which satisfies the following conditions should be selected.
Ensure that the location is a straight pipe as indicated in "2.1.1 Conditions on straight pipe".
Ensure there is space for maintenance around the pipe to which the flowmeter is to be mounted. (Refer to "Fig. 2-1".)
Note) Secure enough space so that you can reach around the piping and work. The following is a general guideline regarding
space.
