After the flowmeter has been installed in the flow system, it is ready for operation. An optional built-in needle control valve may be provided to control the flow through the flowmeter. These control valves are designed for control. Excessive tightening may damage the valve seat and limit its effectiveness as a control valve. If tight shut-off is required, it is recommended that a separate shut-off valve is installed in the process line immediately before the flowmeter.
