SITRANS F M MAG 5100 W Electromagnetic flowmeter
Installation, general Reading and operating the flowmeter is possi-
ble under almost any installation conditions
because the display can be oriented in relation
to the sensor. To ensure optimum flow mea-
surement attention should be paid to the follow-
ing:
The sensor must always be completely full with
liquid.
Therefore avoid:
• Installation at the highest point in the pipe
system
• Installation in vertical pipes with free outlet
For partially filled pipes or pipes with downward
flow and free outlet the flowmeter should be
located in a U-tube.
Installation in vertical pipes
Recommended flow direction: upwards. This
minimizes the effect on the measurement of
any gas/air bubbles in the liquid.
