2Product Description
2.1 Introduction
Nozzle flow meters are commonly used to measure the flow rate of natural gas in
pipelines and other gas fluids. This manual outlines the installation process for
nozzle flow meters that are installed in between flanges on a natural gas pipeline or
other applications as agreed in the supply documents. Flow nozzles are also used in
various industries, particularly for steam flow in the power sector. Due to their long-
documented history, flow nozzle designs and installation requirements are known
and recognized by national and international standards organizations such as ISO
5167 part 3.
2.2 Tools and equipment required
•Pipe wrenches and ancillary equipment related to bolt and nut sizes.
•Adjustable wrenches (if required)
•Flange gaskets and bolts designed for the pressure ratings per national
standards.
•Torque wrench
•Thread sealant
•Pressure gauges
•Calibration equipment
•Leak detection solution (Snoop or other applicable product – gas
applications only)
•Ventilation equipment if possibility of enclosed environment – (flameproof)
•Lockout/tagout equipment per user approved and agreed safety
procedure.
2.3 Nozzle flow meter overview
Please review the specifications and requirements of the nozzle flow meter before
installation,confirm the unitsupplied is labeled with correct serial number or tag
number per the order documentation and delivery notes and is applicable for the
application. This includes flow rate range, pressure and temperature rating, material
compatibility, and calibration details if laboratory calibration was asked for. Please
check the flow meter for any damage due to transport and contact Tek-Trol after
sales service if transportation issues are found.
3Installation Steps
3.1 Preparation
•Ensure the pipeline is depressurized and isolated from the gas source.
•Prepare the required tools and equipment.
•Identify the installation location and confirm alignment of flanges.

3.2 Flange Inspection
•Inspect the flanges for damage, corrosion, or wear make sure that correct
lifting procedures are used to prevent damage to the meter such as
correctly rated slings etc., according to end user/client procedures.
•Ensure the flanges are clean and free from debris during the installation.
3.3 Nozzle Flow Meter Installation
•Position the nozzle flow meter between the flanges or agreed installation
method with the flow direction arrow aligned with the gas flow direction.
•Place the gaskets on both sides of the flow meter, ensuring proper alignment
with flange bolt holes if the meter is installed between flanges.
•Insert and tighten the flange bolts through the bolt holes in a crisscross
pattern. Tighten evenly to avoid warping the flow meter or crushing the
gaskets on one side only.
•Use a torque wrench to achieve the nut and bolt manufacturer's
recommended torque settings for the bolts usually standardized per bolt
size, material and pressure rating.
3.4 Flange Reassembly
•Ensure the gaskets are properly seated and aligned.
•Reassemble the flange by tightening the bolts according to a crisscross
pattern, ensuring even distribution of pressure.
3.5 Leak Testing
•Conduct a leak test by applying a leak detection solution around the flange
joints and connection points gas applications, liquid applications fluid
should be visible.
•Observe for any bubbles forming, indicating a leak on gas applications.
•If a leak is detected, shut down the process disconnect and rectify the
leakage properly before proceeding, commence procedure from applicable
section.
4Calibration and commissioning
•Perform calibration according to the transmitter manufacturer's /end user
guidelines. If “Tek-Trol High Performance DP Transmitters and Flow
Computers” are being used, please refer to the specific installation manual
for advice and set up methodology for the selected transmitter type.
•Commission the flow meter by following client/user startup procedures
avoid a rapid opening of isolation valves in front and behind the flow meter
run.
5Maintenance and Troubleshooting
•Regularly inspect for leaks and damage.
•Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule.
•If issues arise, consult the manufacturer's troubleshooting guide or seek
professional assistance.

6Final Comments
Proper installation of nozzle flow meters between flanges on natural gas pipelines or
other applications is crucial for accurate flow measurement and safe operation of the
meter.
Always follow the guidelines afore mentioned along with the manufacturer's
instructions for tertiary equipment and industry best practices to ensure a successful
installation and good performance.
NOTE
This manual provides a general overview of installation procedures. Always refer
to the specific nozzle flow meter data supplied and consult with qualified
professionals for accurate installation on your natural gas or other pipeline.

7.1 Flanged Type: Pipe-wall Tapping
Fig 1. Flanged Flow Nozzle Type with Pipe Wall Low-Pressure Tapping
7.2 Flanged Type: Integral Low Pressure Tapping
The Tek-Trol Flanged Flow Nozzle with Integral Low-Pressure Tapping is provided
with the downstream tap integral to the nozzle's mounting flange. This design
provides the same ASME or ISO design flow contour but can be used in smaller pipe
sizes where the low-pressure tap may interfere with a pipe weld flange, and/or
flange bolting system. The low-pressure connection design is usually a 1/4" NPT (6
mm) unless specified otherwise in the supplied order documentation.

7.3 Weld-In Nozzle Type
Tek-Trol Weld-in Flow Nozzle types can be provided as a Mounting Ring Flow Nozzle
design that eliminates the need for welding dissimilar metals in the field. Basic pipe
wall pressure taps are incorporated with this nozzle design and is supplied as a
system with a complete flow metering section included if purchased in this
configuration.
NOTE
For special applications and in particular smaller line sizes, Weld-In Type Flow
Nozzles with Integral Metering Taps are available per Fig 2. This design includes a
short section of upstream and downstream pipe with flanged, bevelled, or socket
weld ends per the client’s requirements for end user installation using approved
welding procedures and standards.
