WARNING
• Tightentheboltsofthepipingjoints
according to the prescribed torque values.
• Takemeasurestoprotecttheowmeters
from forces caused by vibration channeled
through the piping.
(3) Operation

• Takemeasurestopreventexcessive
pressure such as water hammer, etc. To
avoid water hammer prevent the pressure
from exceeding the PS (maximum allowable
pressure) by setting the system’s safety
valves, etc. appropriately.
