Selecting the Best <strong>Flow</strong>meter Location<br />

Not all plumbing is laid out with flowmetering in mind. For optimum performance, you<br />

must consider straight run requirements and the flowmeter's installation location relative to<br />

flow direction. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate useful examples of both proper and improper<br />

flowmeter installations. If you have special requirements, PLEASE consult the factory.<br />

<strong>Flow</strong>meter Location<br />

Figure 1 illustrates possible flowmeter locations. The good flowmeter locations are recommended<br />

to ensure that the pipe and the flowmeter will always be filled with fluid.<br />

Straight Run Requirements<br />

Figure 2 illustrates the minimum requirements for straight run piping. Note: The straight run<br />

of the pipe must have the same nominal diameter (D) as the flow-meter body.<br />
