Figure 2-2. Upstream Views of Flange Mount VIP
Orientation of the VIP with respect to an insertion flow meter is important. Refer to Figure 2-3 for both correct and incorrect installations of the VIP
with respect to an insertion flow meter. An imaginary line passing through the two orientation tabs and/or orientation handle should be parallel to
the flow meter’s sensing element.
Flange Mount VIP
The flange-mounted VIP will appear one of two ways. Refer to Figure 2-2. For sizes below 24.40-inches (620 mm) there will be one orientation tab
and one orientation handle 180º offset from each other. For sizes 24.40” and above there will be two orientation tabs offset 180º from each other.
