TYPICAL INSTALLATION
CONNECTIONS
Install your meter in-line with either
horizontal flow or vertical flow. The
best meter position for horizontal
flow setups is with the meter rotated
slightly (about 1 o’clock or 2 o’clock)
to tilt the top from the horizontal
plane
(see Figure 5)
. This prevents
sediment from settling on the lower
set of sensing electrodes. Install the
meter with the flow arrow pointing
in the direction of fluid flow.

Plan to install meter with minimum
straight pipe lengths at inlet and
outlet ends. The straight run
lengths noted below represent
the minimum requirements for
accurate flow measurement
(see Figure 5)
. For optimum
performance, provide as much
additional straight run as possible.
• Upstream from the meter, allow
a minimum straight pipe length
of (5) times the pipe diameter
from bends and obstructions.
• Downstream from the
turbine, allow a minimum
straight pipe length of (3)
times the pipe diameter from
bends and obstructions.
• Avoid downward flow that can
lead to partially filled pipes.
