Installation in large pipes
The flowmeter can be installed between two reducers (e.g. DIN 28545). At 8° the following
pressure drop curves apply. The curves are applicable to water.
Example:
A flow of 3 m/s (V) in a sensor with a diameter reduction from DN 100 to DN 80 (d

gives a pressure drop of 2.9 mbar.
