    Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Conditions of use The VDI/VDE guidelines must be observed. The devices can be used for: liquid products that are sufficiently free-flowing, are free of solids, do not bond or do not tend to settle. gases with linear flow behaviour and an adequate inlet pressure. V/N (optional differential pressure regulator) The minimum differential inlet and outlet pressures must amount to 350 mbar.
  • Page 15: Mounting And Commissioning

    Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 6.1.4 Mounting and commissioning When installing and commissioning the flowmeter, the following points must be observed: The variable-area flow meter must be installed perpendicularly (bottom-up direction of flow). Take special care to install glass-tube devices free from strain. The size of the product line to be connected must be identical to the size of the device connection.
  • Page 16: Fluid Pressure Limit

    Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 6.3.2 Fluid pressure limit 16 bar (at 20 °C) Caution! All pressure values refer to non-hazardous liquids and for devices installed free from strain. For V / N, the maximum unilateral pressure resistance of the diaphragm is 7 bar. 6.3.3 Inlet and outlet sections Inlet and outlet sections are not required for a linear flow profile of the fluid.
  • Page 17: Construction Details

    Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Construction details Design/dimensions K09 The meter consists of a conical measuring tube made of borosilicate glass, with a vertical movable float made of stainless steel or glass. The measuring tube is mounted vertically in the device fitting, which possesses two process connections, arranged perpendicularly to the measuring tube, on its rear.
