Assessment of installation position

Type of fluid

Position

Assessment

Pure liquids

Standard installation
position

Self-draining flow tubes

Position A or B

OK

Position C

Liquid residue remains in pipe

Liquids with gas bub-
bles

Standard installation
position

Self-draining flow tubes, gas bubbles do not accumulate
in flowmeter

Position A

Not recommended owing to gas bubble accumulation in
flowmeter

Position B

Gas bubbles may accumulate in the presence of low flow
velocities

Position C

No gas bubble accumulation in flowmeter, liquid residues
may remain in device after discharge

Liquids containing
substances that could
form deposits

Standard installation
position

Self-draining flow tubes, no deposit formation

Position A

OK

Position B

Substances in the liquid could form deposits at low flow
velocities

Position C

Not recommended owing to presence in flowmeter of
substances that could form deposits

Liquids containing
gas bubbles, as well
as gas bubbles con-
taining substances
that could form de-
posits

Standard installation
position

Self-draining flow tubes, no accumulation of gases or
substances that could form deposits

Position A

Not recommended owing to gas bubble accumulation in
flowmeter

Position B

Gas bubbles or substances that could form deposits at
low flow velocities

Position C

Not recommended owing to presence in flowmeter of
substances that could form deposits

Gases that do not
form a condensate

Standard installation
position,
Position A, B or C

Any of these installations positions can be used

Gas, condensate-
forming gas/liquid,
moisture

Standard installation
position

Flow direction should be from top to bottom so that any
condensate that forms can flow out efficiently

Position A

OK

Position B

Condensate might form in flowmeter

Position C

Not recommended owing to condensate accumulation in
flowmeter
