These transmitters should be mounted on top of pipe if the pipe is horizontality oriented or at
a 90° angle to the transducers if the pipe is vertically oriented. These positions are chosen in
accordance with best engineering practice. Due to the possibility that there is liquid in the
pipe, and mounting on the top of the pipe reduces the chance that they will be damaged by
an accumulation of liquid. Figure 2 illustrates the minimum distance and orientation of the
pressure and temperature transmitters.
