Figure 2. Recommended Pipe Length Requirements for Installation
Installation
The following instructions are general in nature and intended for
guideline purposes only.
1. Turn off the flow of process gas. Verify that the line is not
pressurized.
2. Confirm that the installation site meets the minimum upstream
and downstream piping requirements.
3. Position the meter with the flow direction arrow pointing down-
stream in the direction of flow.
4. Tighten fittings until leak tight (refer to published standards for
specific recommendation).
5. Check the system’s entire flow path thoroughly for leaks.
Caution!
All flow meter connections
and fittings must have the
same or higher pressure
rating as the main pipeline.
