Orienting the sensor
The sensor operates in any orientation. The optimal orientation depends on the process fluid
and the process conditions. Siemens recommends orienting the sensor in one of the following
ways:
1. Vertical installation with an upwards flow (self-draining)
Figure 3-3 Vertical orientation, upwards flow
2. Horizontal installation, tubes down (recommended for liquid applications)
Figure 3-4 Horizontal orientation, tubes down
3. Horizontal installation, tubes up (recommended for gas applications)
Figure 3-5 Horizontal orientation; tubes up
Note
Hygienic applications
In 3A and EHEDG certified hygienic applications the flowmeter must be installed vertically
as shown in 1 above.
