3.1.4 Installation in a Drop Line
The diamond shaped TCM0325 through TCM3100 should not be mounted vertically at all.
All other meters can be mounted vertically, but mounting in a drop line is only allowed, if an orifice and the closing
valve are located below the meter for making sure, that neither during operation nor after closing the valve the
meter will run empty.

3.1.5 Critical Installations
The meters must not be mounted at the highest point of the tubing, if gas bubbles are to be expected (A), or at the
lowest point, if solid particles are to be expected (B), as in both cases also the right orientation might not help.
Also the meters must not be mounted in a drop line near the open end (C), as in that case the meter might run
empty.
