Flow
Direction
The flowmeter’s sound wave
beam only measures fluid that
actually passes through the
beam, therefore, the fluid
velocity must be consistent
across the entire pipe diameter
to ensure high accuracy. Flow
disturbances such as pumps,
elbows, tees, and valves in the
flow stream can cause swirl
patterns and vortices that will
affect the measurement.
Install the transducers on a
straight run of pipe as far as
possible from any
disturbances. The distance
required for accuracy will
depend on the type of
disturbance.
