Location
Selecta locationwheretheflowmetercan beeasily readand wherethe
temperature will not exceed 200°F (93°C). The mounting surface and
pipingtotheflowmetershouldbefreefromexcessivevibration.Ifpulsing
flow or vibration causes excessive pointer oscillation, contact factory for

Because the device operates through a magnetic coupling system,

Inlet Piping
Itis agood practiceto havethe inletportoftheflowmeter beas freeof

For vacuum service, the inlet piping should be as short and open as
