1. Mounting Location

Minimum upstream/downstream sensor mounting requirements:

• The sensor must be mounted in a rigid pipe to minimize vibration. Always maximize distance
between the sensor and pump source.

• Horizontal pipe runs: All mounting angles are acceptable. Avoid air bubbles.

• Vertical pipe runs: All mounting angles are acceptable, with upward fl ow preferred.

• A Reynold’s Number is a dimensionless number used to determine the
effects of viscosity, specifi c gravity, and velocity on fl ow
sensor performance. To maintain system accuracy, a
Reynold’s Number greater than 7,500 is required.

• Reynold's number = 3162.76 x Q x Sg/(µ x ID)
where: Q = Flow Rate in GPM;
Sg = Specifi c Gravity;
µ = Dynamic Viscosity in Centipoise;
ID = inside diameter in inches

• Minimum downstream pipe backpressure levels
(full pipes) are required to prevent cavitation
within the sensor (section 8).

5. Calibration - Frequency Output Models

This sensor model provides an open-collector frequency output directly proportional to the fl ow rate. The frequency output is held at

0 Hz. When the fl ow rate is below the minimum operating range (see specs.). The following K-factors represent the number of pulses
generated by the sensor for each engineering unit of water measured. If fl uids other than water are used, then custom calibration is
required.

7. Calibration - Current Output Models

A

This sensor model outputs a 4 to 20 mA current signal directly proportional to the fl ow rate. The current output is held at 4 mA when

fl ow is less than the minimum velocity specifi cation, and increases to 20 mA at the maximum fl ow velocity specifi cation, see section 8.
Use the following formula to calculate the expected current output level at a specifi c fl ow velocity.

Example: In a pipe with a fl ow velocity of 2 m/s, the expected cur-

OPERATIONAL SCENARIO: At low flow (below minimum flow
rate for this sensor), sensor output is 4 mA. The instant the flow
rate exceeds the minimum, the output jumps to reflect the min.
measurable flow rate. At max. flow rate, output peaks at 20 mA.

Backpressure Calculation

• Minimum downstream pipe backpressure levels (full
pipes) are required to prevent cavitation within the
sensor. The minimum backpressure is calculated
by the following formula: 2.7 x ∆P + 1.3 x Po (∆P =
Pressure drop across sensor. Po = Water saturation
vapor pressure at operating temperature.)

1. Using Pressure Drop Graph, fi nd ∆P by locating your
maximum fl ow rate on specifi c sensor size line.

2. Using the Water Saturation Vapor Pressures Chart,
fi nd Po at operating temperature.

3. Calculate minimum back pressure needed using
formula.
