The variable area meter must be fitted vertically and without tension. Control elements or reductions/extensions in the pipe diameter upstream or downstream of the variable area meter have no influence on the accuracy when measuring liquids. However, when measuring gases, the variable area meter should be installed upstream of valves to prevent pulsations resulting from compression. Since variable area meters respond extremely sensitively to changes in flow, control elements should always be adjusted slowly.
The calibration has been carried out for defined media conditions. Deviations in the density, pressure or temperature of gases, or in the density or viscosity of liquids, result in measurement errors. It is essential to observe the calibration conditions. When ordering, it is therefore essential to provide data on the medium, density and viscosity at the operating temperature and pressure. With gases, it is additionally necessary to specify the exact reference point for the pressure (pressure above atmospheric, or absolute pressure).
Retrofitting of switching contacts is only possible if variable area meters with magnets are used. When using for the first time, move the float completely past the contact to permit polarization.
