IMPORTANT
Useboltsandnutsincompliancewiththeange
ratings. When stud-type through-bolts are used,
be sure the outside diameter of the shank is
smaller than that of the thread ridge. Be sure to
choose a gasket with inner and outer diameters
that does not protrude inside the piping (Read
Subsection 3.3.4). If the inner diameter of the
gasket is too large, or outer diameter of the
gasketistoosmall,uidleakagemayresult.

IMPORTANT
If it is impossible to match the direction of
the arrow mark, the direction of the electrical
connection can be changed. Read Section 11.1
to do this properly.
Incasetheuidbeingmeasuredowsagainst
the arrow direction, read this parameter J20:
Flow Direction in this user’s manual.
(2) Mounting Centering Devices
Tomaintainconcentricityoftheowmeterwiththe
pipes, install centering devices. From the process
piping side, pass two through-bolts through the
four centering devices (two for each bolt) and
the adjacent two holes (the lower two holes for
horizontalmounting)ofbothoftheanges(Read
Figure 3.3.2). Use the appropriate centering
devices according to the nominal diameter and the
angeratings.Thecenteringdevicesareengraved
with an identifying character. Use the appropriate
oneswhichmeettherequiredspecicationsby
reading Table 3.3.7 and Table 3.3.8.
(3) Positioning the Flowmeter
PositiontheowmetersothattheMini-angesand
the centering devices come in close contact with
each other. Be careful to prevent the four centering
devices from coming into contact with the housing.
If stud-type through-bolts are used, position them
in such a way that the four centering devices come
in contact with the bolt threads (Read Figure 3.3.2).
Pass the other through-bolts through from the
process piping side.
