High-Temperature Installations
Install the meter body so the electronics are positioned to the side of the
pipe or below the pipe as shown in Figure 2-2. Insulation may be
required around the pipe to maintain a temperature below 185 °F
(85 °C).

Steam Installations
For steam applications, avoid installations, such as the one shown in
Figure 2-3. Such installations may cause a water-hammer condition at
start-up due to trapped condensate. The high force from the water
hammer can over stress the sensing mechanism and cause permanent
damage to the sensor.
