STEP 3: MOUNTING
Upstream/Downstream Piping
To ensure specification accuracy over widely varying process
conditions, install the flowtube a minimum of five straight pipe
diameters upstream and two pipe diameters downstream from the
electrode plane (see Figure 3).
Flow Direction
The flowtube should be mounted so the FORWARD end of the flow
arrow, shown on the flowtube identification tag, points in the direction
of flow through the tube.
Flowtube Orientation
The flowtube should be installed in a position that ensures the
flowtube remains full during operation. Vertical installation allows
upward process fluid flow and keeps the cross-sectional area full,
regardless of flow rate. Horizontal installation should be restricted to
low piping sections that are normally full. In these cases, orient the
electrode plane to within 45 degrees of horizontal.
