3.4.4 Flowmeter orientation
Horizontal installation
For horizontal installation, the preferred orientation is to have the electronics installed to
the side of the pipe as shown in Figure 3-4. In liquid applications, this ensures any entrained
air or solids do not strike the shedding bar and disrupt the shedding frequency. In gas or
steam applications, this ensures that any entrained liquid (such as condensate) or solids do
not strike the shedder bar and disrupt the shedding frequency.
