Protect the turbine meter from damage caused by high pressure fluctuations
in the flow, e.g. if the downstream pipeline system is filled or blown off.
Welding on the line must only take place at a safe distance from the meter.
Extreme temperatures in the line near the meter can cause permanent dam-
age to the meter.
Establish all electrical connections between meters and amplifiers or flow
computers as specified in the installation manual. Ensure that the connec-
tions are intrinsically safe.
Liquids remaining in the line after hydrostatic testing can damage internal
parts of the meter.
If hydrostatic testing is not possible, the turbine meter must be replaced with
a pipe section. Ensure that there is no liquid remaining in the line above the
meter after the hydrostatic testing.
