5.2 Choosing the mounting location
Valmet OC2R must always be installed in a tur-
bulent flow. It is important to observe that tur-
bulence is influenced by consistency. Minimum
flow velocity is 1.0 m/sec (3.3 ft/sec).
Your Valmet experts will be pleased to assist in
selecting the location that will give the best
measurement result. The best results are ob-
tained when the sensor is installed to a pipe
section immediately after a pump, as the turbu-
lence is typically the strongest there.
Measured from the pipe surface, there must be
at least 500 mm (~ 20") of free space to allow
the installation of the sensor.
Note:
If there is a globe valve be-
tween the pump and sensor,
make sure that the valve is
fully open all the time to en-
sure a representative pulp
flow to the sensor.
