3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Installation Precautions
(1) Ambient Temperature
Avoid locations that are subjected to considerable
temperature variations and uctuations. When the
installation site is subjected to heat radiation from
the plant, adopt insulation measures or ensure
adequate ventilation.
(2) Atmospheric Conditions
Avoid installing the vortex owmeter in a corrosive
atmosphere. When the vortex owmeter must be
installed in a corrosive atmosphere, take measures
to ensure adequate ventilation, and prevent the
entry or build-up of rain water in wiring ducts.
(3) Mechanical Shock or Vibration
The vortex owmeter has been designed to be a
strong structure. However, install it at a location
that is subjected to minimal mechanical shock or
vibration.
If the owmeter is subjected to vibrations, it is
recommended that pipeline supports are provided
as shown in Figure 3.1.

(4) Piping Line
When passing uids along the piping line of the
vortex owmeter, pay attention to the following
points to ensure safe and accurate use.
(a) Make sure that the connector bolts for installing the
vortex owmeter and piping line are tightened rmly.
(b) Make sure that there are no leaks on the piping.
(c) Do not apply a pressure higher than the specied
maximum working pressure.
(d) Do not loosen or tighten the ange mounting bolts
when the assembly is pressurized. Be sure to
depressurize the piping line before doing this.
(e) Handle the vortex owmeter carefully when
measuring toxic liquids, so that the liquids do not
splash into the eyes or face. When using toxic gases,
be careful not to inhale them.
(5) Other
• Choose a location where there is sucient
clearance around the vortex owmeter to allow
work such as routine inspection.
• Choose a location that allows easy wiring and
piping.
