    This document discusses guidelines for installing flow sensors. It recommends that flow sensors be mounted between 3 and 5 times the internal pipe diameter away from bends or disturbances. For vertical pipes, sensors should only be mounted in rising pipes and never in downpipes. When installed in pipes with non-homogeneous media, the sensor cone must be fully submerged and positioned near the center of flow. The immersion length depends on whether the flow is laminar or turbulent. Temperature gradients may also exist inside pipes carrying media warmer than the ambient temperature.

    Flow sensors – Mounting areas in non homogene media

    The sensor cone end


    • must be compeltely dipped into the medium
    Air cushion
    • should be located as close as possible to the middle of
    Deposit the flow channel
    Recommended positioning area • should not abut against the opposite tube wall

    Flow sensors – Flow temperature profile

    Highest temperature
    Lowest temperature

    Is the medium temperature above the ambient temperature, it’ll come to a temperature
    gradient to the tube edges.
