3. INSTALLATION
WARNING
Installation of the magnetic owmeter must
be performed by expert engineer or skilled
personnel. No operator shall be permitted to
perform procedures relating to installation.
3.1 Piping Design Precautions
IMPORTANT
Design piping correctly, referring to the following
to prevent damage to owtubes and to assure
accurate measuring.
(1) Location
IMPORTANT
Install the owmeter in a location where it is
not exposed to direct sunlight. The minimum
ambient temperature is limited by the minimum
uid temperature of the owtube (the lining). For
more information, refer to Chapter 6 “OUTLINE”.
The owmeter may be used in an ambient
humidity where the relative humidity ranges from
0 to 100%. However, avoid long-term continuous
operation at relative humidity above 95%.
(2) Noise Avoidance
IMPORTANT
The owmeter should be installed away from
electrical motors, transformers, and other power
sources in order to avoid interference with
measurement.
(3) Required Lengths of Straight Runss
To maintain accurate measurement, see JIS B7554
“Electro Magnetic Flowmeters” which explains the
requirements for upstream piping conditions of
magnetic owmeters.
Based on JIS B7554 “Electro Magnetic Flowmeters”
and our piping condition test data, we recommend
the piping conditions as shown in the following
gures.
When installing two or more magnetic owmeters
on a single pipe, provide a run of at least 10D
between them.

Figure 3.1.1 Required Lengths of Straight Runs
*1: Do not install anything in the vicinity that may
interfere with the magnetic eld, induced signal
voltages, or ow velocity distributions of the
owmeter.
*2: A straight run may not be required on the
downstream side of the owmeter. However,
if a downstream valve or other tting causes
irregularity or deviation in ows, provide a
straight run of 2D to 3D on the downstream
side.
*3: The valves shall be mounted on the
downstream side so that deviated ows do not
occur in the owtube and to avoid startup from
an empty condition.
(4) Maintaining Stable Fluid Conductivity
IMPORTANT
Do not install the owmeter where uid
conductivity tends to become uneven. If
chemicals are fed near the upstream side of a
magnetic owmeter, they may affect the ow
rate’s indications. To avoid this situation, it is
recommended that the chemical feed ports be
located on the downstream side of the owmeter.
If it is unavoidable that chemicals must be fed on
the upstream side, provide a sufcient length of
straight run (approximately 50D) to ensure the
proper mixture of uids.
