Safety Information
WARNING!
Indicates a potential hazard. Failure to follow all
warnings may lead to equipment damage, injury, or
death
Warning | Caution | Danger
Overtightening may permanently damage product
threads and lead to failure of the retaining nut.
Hand Tighten Only
Use of tool(s) may damage product beyond repair
and potentially void product warranty.
Do Not Use Tools
Always utilize the most appropriate PPE during
installation and service of Truflo products.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Sensor may be under pressure, take caution to vent
system prior to installation or removal. Failure to do so
may result in equipment damage and/or serious injury.
Pressurized System Warning

Correct Sensor Positioning
TI Series Flow Meters measure liquids only. No air bubbles should be present
and 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.
