Long horizontal pipes
• Install on slightly ascending pipe section.
• If not possible, make sure that the flow velocity is high enough to prevent air, gas or vapor to
collect in upper part.
• In partially filled pipes, the clamp-on flowmeter will report incorrect flow rates, or not
measure.
Vertical pipelines
CAUTION!
Make sure that the rail is not mounted at the highest point (risk for air bubbles) or at the lowest
point (risk for particles) of the pipe.

CAUTION!
Make sure that the pipe is fully filled at all times.
