3.1.1 Lifting lugs
CAUTION
If provided, use the lifting lugs on each flange to handle the flow meter when it is
transported and lowered into place at the installation site. If lifting lugs are not
provided, the flow meter must be supported with a lifting sling on each side of the
housing.
• Standard pressure 3 inch through 36 inch flanged magnetic flowmeters come with
lifting lugs.
• High pressure (above 600#) 3 inch through 24 inch flanged magnetic flow meters
come with lifting lugs.

3.2 Location and Position
3.2.1 Environmental considerations
To ensure maximum transmitter life, avoid extreme temperatures and excessive vibration.
Typical problem areas include the following:
• Tropical/desert installations in direct sunlight
• Outdoor installations in arctic climates
3.2.2
Upstream and downstream piping
To ensure specified accuracy over widely varying process conditions, it is recommended to
install the sensor with a minimum of five straight pipe diameters upstream and two pipe
diameters downstream from the electrode plane.
