8. MOUNTING OF DETECTOR
8.1 Selection of mounting location
Detector mounting location, i.e., the conditions of the pipe subjected to fl ow rate measurement
exert a great infl uence on measurement accuracy. So select a location meeting the conditions
listed below.
(1) There is a straight pipe portion of 10D or more on the upstream side and that of 5D or more on
the downstream side.
(2) No factors to disturb the fl ow (such as pump and valve) within about 30D on the upstream side.
