Installation: To prevent debris from entering the meter, install the flowmeter
downstream from the filter if possible with at least the minimum straight pipe
dimensions called for in the above drawing. Drill the pitot tube hole in the top (12
o’clock position) of the horizontal pipe. Carefully remove all burrs. Insert the pitot
tube, with the gasket in place, into the drilled hole. Tighten the clamps alternately,
a little at a time. Make certain the flow direction is towards the pitot tube opening.
Examples:
Troubleshooting: Should the meter fail to read, make certain the openings in the
front and rear of the pitot tube are not clogged, that the pitot tube opening faces
the direction of the flow, and that you have installed the meter on the correct IPS
(ASTM-D-1785) type and size pipe. Note that the top of the float is the largest
diameter.
Accuracy = +/- 5% (L2), +/- 10% (L3)
Max Temperature = 190°F / 87.7°C at 0 Psi (0 Bar)
Maximum Pressure = 75 psi (5.2 bar)
Headloss = Maximum 1 psi across all pipe sizes
Note: Pressure and temperature limits are inversely proportional

Maintenance: The flowmeter body and all other parts can be cleaned
by washing in a mild soap and water solution. A soft bristle brush will
simplify cleaning inside the meter body. Note the float’s up position for
re-assembly.
Maximum Temperature = 190°F at 0 Psi (87.8°C at 0 Bar)
Maximum Pressure = 75 PSI at 70°F (5.2 Bar at 21.1°C)
Accuracy = +/- 5% (L2), +/- 10% (L3)
Headloss = Maximum 1 psi across all pipe sizes
Pressure and temperature limits are inversely proportional.
Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee our flowmeters will not be damaged
either at or below the suggested limits simply because of many factors
which influence meter integrity; stress resulting from meter misalignment,
damage due to excessive vibration and/or deterioration caused by
contact with certain chemicals as well as direct sunlight. These situations
and others tend to reduce the strength of the materials from which the
meters are manufactured. Flowmeters are tested and calibrated
for water only. Although the meters may be suitable for other chemicals,
Blue-White cannot guarantee their suitability.
Meters are suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
