A. Preferred installation—meter body installed with electronics to side of pipe
B. Acceptable installation—meter body installed with electronics above pipe
For steam and fluids with small solids content, it is recommended to have the
flowmeter installed with the electronics to the side of the pipe. This will
minimize potential measurement errors by allowing the condensate or solids
to flow under the shedder bar without interrupting the vortex shedding.
2.1.3 High temperature mounting
The maximum temperature for integral electronics is dependent on the
ambient temperature where the flowmeter is installed. The electronics must
not exceed 185 °F (85 °C).
Figure 2-3 shows combinations of ambient and process temperatures needed
to maintain a housing temperature of less than 185 °F (85 °C).
