6.3 Straight inlet
MULTICAL
®
Optimal position can be obtained if you take the below-mentioned installation methods into consideration:
402 neither requires straight inlet nor straight outlet to meet the Measuring Instruments Directive
(MID) 2004/22/ EC, OIML R75:2002 and EN 1434:2009. A straight inlet section will only be necessary in case of
heavy flow disturbances before the meter. We recommend to follow the guidelines of CEN CR 13582.
