TIB
and
Series Flow Meters measure liquids only. No air bubbles should be present
the pipe must always be full. The sensors are not effective in laminar or
transitional flow applications. Minimum Reynolds number required is 4500.
For accurate flow measurement there must be a developed turbulent velocity
profile at the sensor location. This requires a straight run pipe with a minimum
number of pipe diameters distance upstream and downstream of the flow
sensor. These distances depend on the type of piping element (i.e. valves,
elbows, reducers etc.) causing the disturbance. To ensure maximum accuracy,
the following guidelines need to be observed when installing.
