Figure 20:  Using reducers 
 
Determine the resulting pressure loss when using reducers: 
1.  Determine diameter ratios d/D. 
2.  .Determine the flow velocity based on the flow rate 
nomogram (Figure 21). 
3.  Read the pressure loss on the Y-axis in Figure 21.

Please observe the following points: 
A Do not install the device vertically with the terminal box 
or transmitter housing pointing downward. 
B The ‘angel bracket’ option is not 3A compliant. 
C Please make sure that the leakage hole of the process 
connection is located at the lowest point of the installed 
device. 
•  A vertical mounting position is preferred. For a horizontal 
mounting position, make sure that the sensor is installed 
to be self-draining. 
•  Make sure that the cover of terminal box and / or 
transmitter housing is properly sealed. There can be no 
gaps between the housing and the cover. 
 
Only devices with the following process connections fulfill 3A 
compliance. 
• Welded spuds 
• Tri-clamp
