    LTRA DESCRIPTION OF FLOW METER 1 .0 DESCRIPTION OF FLOW METER Hach’s FPI Mag (Full Profile Insertion) flow meter provides accurate flow measurement for full-pipe clean water applications. The electromagnetic sensor automatically senses and corrects for shifting velocity in the pipe by constantly obtaining an area weighted mean velocity.

    LTRA SENSOR PROBE INSTALLATION STEP 5: Installing the ball valve WARNING! Pressurized pipes should only be hot tapped, cut, or drilled by qualified personnel. If possible, depressurize and drain the pipe before attempting any installation. The sensor comes standard with a 2” stainless steel ball valve and a 2” x close stainless steel nipple. The 2” x close stainless steel nipple is to be used if the installation site has a female fitting, i.e., a welded coupling.

  • Page 12: Step 6: Ensure Sensor Will Be Installed Perpendicular To The Pipe

    LTRA SENSOR PROBE INSTALLATION STEP 6: Ensure sensor will be installed perpendicular to the pipe The probe should be installed perpendicular to the pipe as shown in Figure 12 for a vertical installation. The allowable tolerance for installation is ± 0.5°. A perpendicular installation is determined by the coupling that is mounted on the pipe. Prior to installing the sensor, a level ruler should be used to check the coupling and ensure that it sits level.

  • Page 13: Step 8: Connect The Sensor Onto Ball Valve

    LTRA SENSOR PROBE INSTALLATION STEP 8: Connect the sensor onto ball valve The sensor assembly uses a compression seal, which keeps the sensor watertight when the pipe is under pressure. Care must be taken when installing the sensor to avoid leaks. Follow the steps below to install the sensor onto the pipe valve: Put a generous amount of the pipe sealant or Teflon tape on the compression seal threads.

  • Page 14: Step 10: Insert The Sensor Probe Through The Ball Valve Into The Pipe

    (Figure 18) NOTE 3: Using the sensor insertion tool McCrometer recommends using a sensor insertion tool (see Figure 19) to rotate the captive nuts. This will ensure the top plate compresses evenly and will help avoid any damage to the sensor.
  • Page 15 LTRA SENSOR PROBE INSTALLATION Follow the steps below to insert the sensor probe into the pipe . If you disassembled and reassembled the compression seal, hand tighten the compression seal bolts and nuts. DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN THE COMPRESSION SEAL BOLTS AND NUTS. If you did not disassemble the compression seal, proceed to step 2.

  • Page 16: Step 11: Apply Appropriate Compression Load To The Sensor

    LTRA SENSOR PROBE INSTALLATION STEP 11: Apply appropriate compression load to the sensor A compression load is required to be applied at the top of the sensor forcing the bottom of the sensor to seat firmly against the far wall of the pipe. The amount of load is indicated by the three lines etched into the top plate and the location of the set screw relative to the lines.
