3.3.2 Mounting the FLOWSIC600 in the piping
An arrow on the meter body indicates the main direction of flow. It is recommended to
install the FLOWSIC600 as indicated by this arrow if the meter is to be used for
unidirectional flow applications. If the meter is to be used in the bidirectional mode, the
arrow indicates the positive direction of flow.
Installation work to be carried out
b
Position the FLOWSIC600 at the desired place of the pipeline using the lifting gear. Only
use the lifting eyes provided to lift and transport the device. If lifting straps are used,
wrap them around the meter body.
b
Check for correct seating and alignment of the flange gasket after installing the flange
bolts, but prior to tightening.
b
Align the FLOWSIC600 such that the offsets between inlet pipe, meter body and outlet
pipe are minimized.
b
Insert the remaining fastening bolts and tighten the nuts cross-wise. The tightening
torque applied must not be lower than specified in the project planning.
b
Mount the pressure sensing line between pressure tap and pressure transmitter.
b
Fill the pipeline and check the installed FLOWSIC600 and piping connections for leaks.
WARNING:
● The lifting eyes are designed for transporting the meter only. Do not lift the
FLOWSIC600 using these eyes when additional loads (such as blind covers,
filling for pressure tests or piping) are attached (also see
→
pg.25, 3.1.2)
● Never attach lifting gear to the signal processing unit or its mounting
bracket and avoid contact between these parts and the lifting gear.
● The FLOWSIC600 must not turn over or start to swing while being
transported. Flange sealing surfaces, SPU housing and transducer cover
caps may be damaged when the lifting gear is not attached properly.
● Take suitable measures to prevent damage to the meter when carrying out
any other work (welding, painting) near the FLOWSIC600.
It is recommended to perform a leak test in accordance with the relevant
regulations and standards after completion of the mechanical installation.
