2.1.5 Upstream/downstream requirements
The flowmeter may be installed with a minimum of ten straight pipe
diameters (D) upstream and five straight pipe diameters (D) downstream by
following the K-factor corrections as described in the 8800 Installation Effects
Technical Data Sheet (00816-0100-3250). No K-factor correction is required if
35 straight pipe diameters upstream (35D) and 10 straight pipe diameters
downstream (10D) are present.
2.1.6 External pressure/temperature transmitters
When using pressure and temperature transmitters in conjunction with the
flowmeter for compensated mass flows, install the transmitters downstream
of the flowmeter as shown in Figure 2-5.
