Damage to the device due to improper assembly.
•  The use of graphite with the flange or process 
connection gaskets is prohibited. This is because, in 
some instances, an electrically conductive coating 
may form on the inside of the meter tube.
•  Vacuum shocks in the piping should be avoided to 
prevent damage to the liners. Vacuum shocks can 
destroy the device.
NOTICE
The flowmeter sensor can be installed at any location in the 
piping while taking the installation conditions into account.
1  Remove protective plates, if present, to the right and left 
of the meter tube. To prevent possible leakage, make 
sure that the liner on the flange is not cut or damaged.
2  Position the flowmeter sensor plane parallel and 
centered between the piping. 
3  Use the appropriate screws for the holes in 
accordance with Torque information on page 
136.
4  Slightly grease the threaded nuts.
5  Tighten the nuts in a crosswise manner as shown 
in the figure. Observe the tightening torques in 
accordance with Torque information on page 
time to the maximum torque. Do not exceed the 
max. torque.
