Installation Guide

Installation steps for an insertion-type vortex flow meter:

  1. Use gas welding to create a circular hole slightly smaller than φ100mm in the pipeline. Clean the area around the hole to ensure smooth probe rotation.
  2. Weld the manufacturer’s flange short pipe to the circular hole in the pipeline, ensuring the flange axis is perpendicular to the pipeline axis.
  3. Install the ball valve and sensor onto the welded flange.
  4. Adjust the screw to ensure the insertion depth meets requirements (ensuring the probe’s center axis coincides with the pipeline’s center axis). The fluid flow direction must be consistent with the indicator arrow on the direction indicator.
  5. Tighten the screws on the gland evenly. (Note: The tightness of the gland determines the instrument’s sealing performance and whether the screw can rotate.)
  6. Check that all steps are completed correctly. Slowly open the valve to observe for leaks (pay special attention to personal safety). If leaks are found, repeat steps 5 and 6.
  7. Ensure there is a flow meter upstream of at least 15D and downstream of at least 5D of straight pipe.
