11.4 Handling
The flow meter must be handled with the correct handling method. The safety load and
protection action of the handling equipment should meet the related regulations. The
transmitter box (for integrated flow meter) or enclosure (for separated flow meter) must
not be tied up to handle the flow meter.
11.5 Correct Installation
It is very important to select the installation site and install the flow meter correctly. If any
mistake is made during the installation, it will affect the measuring accuracy or the life
span of the flow meter, or even cause damage. When selecting the installation site,
please pay special attention to the following:
a. The axis of the measuring electrode must be approximate to the horizontal direction
(Generally, the angle from the level line is within 10°.)
b. The measuring pipe must be filled with liquid.
c. The flow meter must be equipped with the straight tube section in the length of at
least 5×D at the front side (D is the internal diameter of the flow meter), and the
straight tube section in the length of at least 2×D at the rear side (D is the internal
diameter of the flow meter).
d. The flowing direction of the fluidic is the same as the arrow direction on the flow meter.
e. Please prevent the vacuum in the pipe, which will damage the lining of the flow meter.
