(2) Installation
WARNING
• Please tighten the bolts for piping joint
according to the appropriate torgue values.
• Please take measure to protect the
fl owmeters from forces caused by vibration
through piping.
(3) Operation
WARNING
• The temperature and pressure of fl uid should
be applied under the normal operating
condition.
• The ambient temperature should be applied
under the normal operating condition.
• Please pay attention to prevent the
excessive pressure like water hammer,
etc. When water hammer is to be occurred,
please take measures to prevent the
pressure from exceeding PS (maximum
allowable pressure) by setting the safety
valve, etc. at the system and the like.
• When external fi re is to be occurred, please
take safety measures at the device or
system not to infl uence the fl owmeters.
• Please pay attention not to abrade the
metal pipe, when using the fl uid to abrade
the metal pipe such as slurry and sand are
contained.
