1 Planning Topics covered in this chapter: • Installation checklist • Best practices • Power requirements • Other installation considerations • Recommended installations for short-stem meters • Perform a meter check (pre-installation) 1.
1.2 Best practices The following information can help you get the most from your meter. • Handle the meter with care. Follow local practices for lifting or moving the meter. • Perform a Known Density Verification (KDV) check of the meter prior to installing the meter in your system.

1.4 Other installation considerations A variety of external factors exist that affect the ability of the meter to operate successfully. To ensure that your system works correctly, consider the effects of these factors when designing your installation.
Region of measurement boundary or sensitivity Figure 1-3: B A C STATUS SCROLL SELECT A. Long axis B. Short axis C. Sensitive, or effective, region When installing the meter, if part of this effective region or volume is interfered with because of the pipework or fittings a boundary effect exists (see Figure 1-4 ).
Example of pipeline installation (with boundary effect) Figure 1-4: A STATUS SCROLL SELECT A. Pipe walls interrupt effective region of meter sensitivity 1.4.2 Flow rate considerations You must maintain flow rates and velocities to be relatively constant within the limits specified for the meter.
• Maintain a back pressure on the system sufficient to prevent gas break out. • Maintain flow velocity at the sensor within the specified limits. 1.4.4 Solids measurement considerations Consider the following to avoid issues related to solids contamination: • Avoid sudden changes of the fluid velocity that may cause sedimentation.
Standard installation types: short-stem meters Table 1-1: Installation type: Free stream T-Piece Flow-through chamber Meter placement Meter tines are inserted directly into the main fluid flow. The meter must always be installed horizontally and with the tines oriented to allow flow through or between the gap of the tines.
Standard installation types: short-stem meters (continued) Table 1-1: Installation type: Free stream T-Piece Flow-through chamber Recommendations Do not use with: • Dirty fluids • Low or unstable .
Power supply wiring terminals Figure 1-5: A A. 24 VDC 4. Perform a Known Density Verification (KDV) check. The Known Density Verification procedure is used to verify that the meter's current operation matches the factory calibration. If the meter passes the test, then it has not drifted or changed since its factory calibration.
2 Mounting Topics covered in this chapter: • Mount in free-stream application (flanged fitting) • Mount in free-stream application (weldolet fitting) • Mount with a T-piece (flanged fitting) •.
Free-stream (flanged fitting) meter installation Figure 2-1: B A STATUS SCROLL SELECT Plan view of a vertical pipe installation A. 4-inch pipe for horizontal installations; 6-inch (152 mm) pipe for vertical installations B. Size the recess mount so that the meter tines are inserted fully into the liquid [approximately 2.
Procedure See Figure 2-2 for information on installing the meter (with a weldolet fitting) in a free- stream application. Important You must always install the meter horizontally and oriented to allow flow in the gap between the tines, irrespective of the pipeline orientation (horizontal or vertical).
Note - Flow velocity at the pipe wall and fluid viscosity must be within the limits shown to ensure that the fluid within the pocket is refreshed in a timely manner. This installation will not respond as rapidly as the free-stream installation to step changes in viscosity.
2.4 Mount with a flow-through chamber Flow-through chambers are manufactured by Micro Motion, and are available with either weld-prepared ends or with flange or compression fittings for connection into the process pipelines. They are available with 1- inch NB, 2-inch NB, or 3-inch NB inlet and outlet pipes.
Flow-through chamber meter installation Figure 2-4: A A. Optional temperature port Note • This flow-through chamber is a direct-insertion type chamber that does not have a thermowell and uses a ¾ -inch Swagelok connection.
