ANSI 15O#/300#/600# REMOTE MOUNT SCOOPED FLANGE INSTALLATION
This installation is very popular in the OIL and GAS Pipeline Industry with large diameter pipes.
Since the high flow rates inside the pipes causes excessive vibration it is recommended that the
customer mount the meter off of the SCOOP FLANGE and connect via BRAIDED HOSE. This isolates
the meter from the pipeline vibration. The Cutaway view below illustrates the scoop orientation
inside the pipeline. The FLOW RATE through the meter is a function of the MAINLINE FLOW RATE
– See Figure 9.
