Assembly and Installation
Subject to change without notice
3.1.1.2 Additional requirements for meter body option (spool piece)
Follow specifications for new equipment; select best possible location for
existing equipment.
Contact SICK for optimal installation of the FLOWSIC100 Flare.
NOTICE:
The plant operator is responsible for observing the valid Accident Prevention
and Industrial Safety Regulations.
Criteria Requirements
Pipeline design
● Same nominal size of adjacent pipes and meter body
● Differences of internal diameters of inlet pipe and meter body < 1%.
● No welding beads and burs on the flanges of the inlet pipe
Installation
Pipelines with horizontal or vertical direction
● Horizontal installation:
The meter body shall be aligned so that the planes formed by the measuring paths are in a horizontal
position. This minimizes the problem of dirt in the pipeline entering the transducer ports.
● Vertical installation:
Only possible if the measuring system is used for dry, non-condensing gases.
Gas flow Free from any foreign material, dust and liquids. Otherwise, filters and traps shall be used.
Seals between meter
body and pipeline
Must not protrude into the pipeline. Any protrusion into the flowing gas stream may change the flow
profile and thus the measuring accuracy may be adversely affected.
Pressure transmitter
Connection at the pressure tap provided with ⅛”, ¼”or ½” NPT (female) port, depending on meter size
and customer demand.
Fastening and sealing
material
Bolts, nuts and flange seals used must be suited to the operational conditions and comply with legal
regulations and relevant standards.
