3.4.3 Gas / liquid build up
In certain applications, the design of the meter can cause either gas or liquid to build up in the
measuring tube.
3.4.4 Side mounting
The meter can be installed with the converter (or remote junction box) on the side of the meter
so that the measuring tubes are sitting one above the other. Avoid this method of installation
where there is a two phase process flow, or where the process fluid contains gas. If this situation
cannot be avoided, please contact the manufacturer for advice.
1 Where liquids are being measured, mount the meter as shown. This will prevent gas building up in the measuring tube,
when there is no flow.
2 Where gases are being measured, mount the meter as shown. This will prevent liquids building up in the measuring
tube, when there is no flow.
