Figure 2-3: Piping recommendations unidirectional flow
Figure 2-4: Piping recommendations bidirectional flow
All pipe lengths are minimum:
• D = Nominal pipe size in inches (i.e. 6" pipe size; 10 D = 48 in)
• P = Pressure measurement location
• T = Temperature measurement location
Refer to the ultrasonic meter product data sheet for piping information. The
Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter Datasheet may be downloaded from the Emerson
website: www.emerson.com/en-us/automation/rosemount.
NOTICE
To access the product datasheet, from the Emerson products page (above link),
