4.5 Aeration

If there is a point where the difference in level is higher than 5 m an air inlet valve should
be installed after the sensor to avoid a vacuum effect that could damage the sensor liner.

4.6

Reduction of DN

In installations where, due to reasons of the flow rate to be measured, a sensor of a
smaller DN than the pipe DN must be mounted, the reduction must be done with an angle
smaller than 4º to avoid turbulences that can give false readings.

If the angle cannot be so small, straight pipe sections indicated in 4.2 point must be kept.

4.7 Vibrations

Vibrations of the pipes should be avoided by anchoring the pipe before and after the
sensor.
The vibration level should be less than 2.2 g in the range of 20 -150 Hz according to IEC
068-2-34.
