A13Flow direction / straight pipe requirementsEnsure the flow direction in the pipeline corresponds to theidentification plate. The sensor measures the flowrate in bothdirections. Forward flow is the factory setting.V-style sensor: in most installations, a straight upstreamsection 5 x pipe diameters in length and a straight downstreamsection 0 x pipe diameters in length are sufficient.5 x pipediameters min.>0 x pipediameters min.Flow directionFigure 18 V-style sensor –flow direction / straight pipe requirementsR-style sensor: straight upstream and downstream sections0 x 0 pipe diameters in length are recommended.0 x pipe diameter 0 x pipe diameterFlow directionFigure 19 R-style sensor –flow direction / straight pipe requirementsF-style sensor: in most installations, a straight upstreamsection 5 x pipe diameters in length and a straight downstreamsection 2 x pipe diameters in length are sufficient.5 x pipediameters min.>2 x pipediameters min.Flow directionFigure 20 F-style sensor –flow direction / straight pipe requirementsElectrode axisThe electrode axis must be horizontal wherever possible orno more than 45° from horizontal.45° max.Electrode axisFigure 21 Flow conditions / orientation (electrode axis)
