6.1.1 Mounting position
Mounting location
A0042039
To prevent measuring errors arising from accumulation of gas bubbles in the measuring
tube, avoid the following mounting locations in the pipe:
• Highest point of a pipeline.
• Directly upstream of a free pipe outlet in a down pipe.

A Recommended orientation with upward direction of flow
B Non-recommended installation range with horizontal orientation (30°)
C Recommended installation range max. 120°
Vertical
Recommended orientation with upward direction of flow (View A). With this orientation,
entrained solids will sink and gases will rise away from the sensor area when the medium
is not flowing. Furthermore, the pipe can be completely drained and protected against the
buildup of deposits.
Horizontal
In the recommended installation range with a horizontal orientation (View B), gas and air
accumulations at the top of the pipe and interference from deposit buildup at the bottom
of the pipe can influence the measurement to a lesser degree.

Inlet and outlet runs
If possible, the sensor should be installed upstream from valves, T-sections, pumps etc. If
this is not possible, the inlet and outlet runs indicated below must be maintained at the
very minimum in order to attain the specified level of accuracy of the measuring device. If
there are several flow disturbances present, the longest specified inlet run must be
maintained.
Shorter inlet and outlet runs are possible with the following device versions:

Measuring mode
Two-path measurement with FlowDC 2) (standard configuration)
In the case of two-path measurement with FlowDC, the flow is measured by two
measurements at the measuring point.
For this, the two sensor sets are installed on the measuring pipe, offset at a specific angle
to one another (180° for 1 traverse, 90° for 2 traverses). This is independent of the
rotation position of the two sensor sets on the measuring pipe.
The measured values of both sensor sets are averaged. Based on this average
measurement value, the measured value is compensated depending on the type of
disturbance and the distance from the measuring point to the disturbance point. This
makes it possible to maintain the specified accuracy and repeatability for measurements in
1) Order code for "Mounting type", option A2 "Clamp-on, 2-channel, 2-sensor sets"
2) Flow disturbance compensation
