Sensor Mounting Positions and Locations
• Always mount the sensor downstream of the flow .
• Use vibration-reducing pipe supports approximately 3 and 6 pipe diameters from the end of the sensor in all applications .
• Install the sensor in a section of the piping where it always remains full, unless the application is designed to drain
with no flow . See
Vertical Mounting with Tubes to the Side, Flow Going Down
The mounting orientation shown in
is recommended for installation in an open vertical pipeline . If you MUST use
this configuration, make sure to use an isolation valve or other pipe restriction to prevent the sensor from running empty
while measurement is being taken .
