It’s better to install the flow meter indoors; if you have to install it outdoors, you should take measures to avoid direct sunlight or rainwater.
The flow meter shall be installed away from high temperature, thermal radiation from equipment or corrosive gas.
Ultrasonic flow meters can’t be installed nearby motors, transformers or other power sources that are easy to cause electromagnet interference. DO NOT install ultrasonic flow meters nearby frequency converters or DO NOT connect it with the distributing cabinet of frequency converters to avoid interference.
In convenience for installation and maintenance, keep sufficient space around the flow meter.
Avoid installing the flow meter on pipes with mechanical vibrations. If you have to install it there, D
O take shock absorption measure. You could install a hose for transition, or set support points with absorbing pads on the pipe at 2DN in both upstream and downstream of the flow meter. Try not to install the flow meter on the longer overhead pipes because the sagging of pipes would cause leakage between the flow meter and the flanges. If you have to do it, you must set support points on the pipe at 2DN in both upstream and downstream of the flow meter.
- Requirements on Liquid-receiving Material
The ultrasonic flow meter could measure single-medium liquid flow; The same medium could be divided into three specifications (low temperature, high temperature and superhigh temperature), different flow meters should be used for different temperatures.
You could select the flow meter with an explosion-proof housing, and intrinsic safety explosion-proof flow meter with intrinsic safety design circuit to ensure its safety and flame-retardant operation. Each flow meter should have a nameplate clearly identifying its certifications. Please DO install and use the flow meter according to the explosion-proof grade and protection grade as shown on the nameplate.

To ensure measurement accuracy of the flowmeter, try to satisfy the following requirements on the length of straight pipe sections installed nearby the flowmeter: upstream >20D, downstream>10D.
