If the elbow radius of single or double pipe elbows positioned
upstream or downstream of the device is greater than
1.8 x DN, inlet and outlet sections are not required.

In order to maximize operational reliability, the flow profile at
the inflow end must not be distorted if at all possible.
The figures below show the recommended inlet and outlet
sections for various installations.

5.1.3 Avoiding cavitation
To avoid cavitation, a static overpressure is required
downstream of the flowmeter (downstream pressure). This can
be estimated using the following formula:

Static gauge pressure downstream of the device (mbar)
Steam pressure of fluid at operating temperature (mbar)
Pressure drop, measuring medium (mbar)
5.1.4 Installation at high measuring medium temperatures
Fig. 11: Installation at high measuring medium temperatures
At high measuring medium temperatures > 150 °C (> 302 °F),
the sensor must be installed so that the transmitter is pointing
to the side or downward.
