SITRANS F M Electromagnetic flowmeter type MAG 1100, DN 2 - DN 100, 1/12" - 4"
Installation, general
Reading and operating the flowmeter is pos-
sible under almost any installation conditions
because the display can be oriented in relation
to the sensor. To ensure optimum flow meas-
urement attention should be paid to the follow-
ing:
The sensor must always be completely full
with liquid.
Therefore avoid:
• Installation at the highest point in the pipe
system
• Installation in vertical pipes with free outlet
For partially filled pipes or pipes with down-
ward flow and free outlet the flowmeter should
be located in a U-tube.
Installation in vertical pipes
Recommended flow direction: upwards. This
minimizes the effect on the measurement of
any gas/air bubbles in the liquid.
