Sontex Supercal 5 - Flow Sensor Mounting Positions; Horizontal Mounting Guidelines; Vertical Mounting Guidelines; General Flow Sensor Mounting Notice

36 Installation guide | Supercal 5
The ow sensor Superstatic 440 can be operated from 0,5 bar pipe pressure.
To prevent cavitation the operating pressure with a ow sensor Superstatic 440
must follow the recommendation in the table below. The Superstatic 440 must
not be exposed to pressures below ambient pressure.
Flow Static Pressure (bar)
q % qp T = 80°C T = 130°C
qi (qmin) 1 1,0 3,3
qp 100 1,5 4,0
qs 200 3,0 6,0
Flow direction
Horizontal Mounting Position
Horizontal Mounting position
The sensor head MUST be placed to the side +/- 45° in relation to the pipe axis
to avoid inuences of air inclusions (top) or dirt (bottom).
Vertical mounting position
Mounting in upward or downward pipes possible.
General notice for mounting:
After mounting and before commissioning purge system > 10 min at qp to avoid
air bubbles.
