This is true with any restriction in the flow line that may cause the liquid to flash . If necessary, air eliminators should be
installed to ensure that the meter is not incorrectly measuring entrained air or gas .
It is recommended that a minimum length, equal to ten (10) pipe diameters of straight pipe, be installed on the upstream side
and five (5) diameters on the downstream side of the flow meter . Otherwise, meter accuracy may be affected . Piping should
be the same size as the meter bore or threaded port size .
Do not locate the flow meter or connection cable close to electric motors, transformers, sparking devices, high voltage lines,
or place connecting cable in conduit with wires furnishing power for such devices . These devices can induce false signals in
the flow meter coil or cable, causing the meter to read inaccurately .
If problems arise with the flow meter and monitor, consult
Troubleshooting Guide on page 10 . If further problems arise,
consult the factory .
If the internal components of the turbine flow meter are damaged beyond repair, turbine meter repair kits are available .
Information pertaining to the turbine meter repair kits is referenced in Part Number Information on page 11 .
