Flow conditioning is recommended for best measurement results
•
Honed or un-honed meter tube(s)
•
Flow direction (unidirectional or bidirectional)
•
Correct meter size selection - too low may cause poor flow stability (thermal
convection or too fast may cause erosion problems and resonance, cracks or failure of
probes or thermowells (approximately 0.3 to 30 m/sec or 1 to 100 ft/sec).
convection or too fast may cause erosion problems and resonance, cracks or failure of
probes or thermowells (approximately 0.3 to 30 m/sec or 1 to 100 ft/sec).
•
Space availability for meter lengths (to allow inlet piping customization)
•
Concentric alignment pins or flange concentricity technique considerations
IMPORTANT
The bore of the mating piping should be within 1% of the meter inside diameter.
