Vertical installation
Vertical installation allows upward process liquid flow and is generally preferred. Upward
flow ensures the meter body always remains full and that any solids in the fluid are evenly
distributed.
The vortex meter can be mounted in the vertical down position when measuring gas or
steam flows. See Figure 3-5. This type of application should be strongly discouraged for
liquid flows, although it can be done with proper piping design.

Note
To ensure the meter body remains full, avoid downward vertical liquid flows where back
pressure is inadequate.
Preferred Acceptable
Preferred for liquid Preferred for gas
