Determine data and dimensions of pipe
• Use the supplied tape measure to determine the outside diameter of the pipe.
• Determine the pipe wall thickness. A pipe wall thickness gauge or pipe tables can be used for
this.
• Find out what the material of the pipe is.
• If the pipe has a liner, find out the liner material and the thickness of the liner.
CAUTION!
Never install the flowmeter at the suction side of a pump in order to avoid cavitation or flashing
in the flowmeter.
