Figure 44. Flow Sensor Location Guide
The preferred location for the mounting of a flow
sensor is on the top half of the pipe. The best
orientation is vertical. If the sensor is mounted on
the bottom of the pipe, it may be susceptible to the
accumulation of dirt.
When mounting the sensor after the pipe
diameter is reduced the length L must be
at least 2 times the pipe diameter.
When mounting the sensor after a
valve the length L must be at least 14
times the pipe diameter.
When mounting the sensor after an
elbow the length L must be at least
6 times the pipe diameter.
When mounting the sensor before a valve or
an elbow the length L must be at least equal
to the pipe diameter.
Before Valve or Elbow
L > 1 X PIPE DIA.
After Elbow
L > 6 X PIPE DIA.
After Valve
L > 14 X PIPE DIA.
After Reduction
L > 2 X PIPE DIA.
