12.1 Location and position of installation
SITRANS FC Coriolis flow meters can be mounted horizontally, vertically and at an
incline. The measuring tubes should be completely filled with the fluid during flow
measurement as accumulations of air or formation of gas bubbles in the measuring tube
may result in errors in measurement. Straight pipe runs at inlet or outlet are usually not
required.
Avoid the following installation locations and positions:
▪ Measuring tubes as highest point in piping when measuring liquids
▪ Measuring tubes as lowest point in piping when measuring gases
▪ Immediately in front of a free pipe outlet in a downpipe
▪ Lateral positions
