Connections should be made to ensure all air can be vented on liquid systems and all conden-
sate can be drained on steam systems.

Heating Times (based on heating jacket operating at maximum temperature)
Liquid / Stteam heating jacket
The meter can be supplied with a heating jacket. This jacket is designed to minimise the differ-
ential stress across the meter where differences in temperature between outer cylinder and
measuring tube exist.
The connections to the heating jacket are NPT or Ermeto sockets.
It is recommended that reinforced flexible hoses be used to connect the heating jacket to the
heat source.
