1. Can mass flow meters be installed vertically?
Mass flow meters can be installed vertically, but the specific installation method needs to be determined based on the type of medium being measured. The following is a detailed explanation of the key points for vertical installation of mass flow meters. When measuring liquids, the sensor housing should be installed facing downwards. To avoid air accumulation in the flow tube and affecting measurement accuracy, the sensor housing of the mass flow meter should be installed facing downwards. This installation method can ensure that the liquid is completely filled in the flow tube, thereby accurately measuring the flow rate. 2. Installation method for measuring liquid slurry: The sensor is installed vertically (flag type installation): When measuring liquid slurry, in order to avoid particle accumulation in the flow tube, the mass flowmeter should be installed vertically, that is, the sensor should be hung vertically like a flag. This installation method can ensure uniform distribution of particles in the slurry and avoid measurement errors caused by particle accumulation. The process medium should flow from bottom to top: When installed vertically, the process medium should flow from bottom to top to avoid the occurrence of jet air flow. Jet flow tube refers to the possibility of a cavity appearing in the upper part of the flow tube when the medium flow velocity is too fast, which may affect the measurement accuracy. 3. Precautions: When installing vertically, ensure that the fixing method of the mass flowmeter is firm and reliable to avoid measurement errors caused by vibration or external forces. Before installation, carefully read the instruction manual of the

1. Installation Position Selection To ensure measurement accuracy, corresponding upstream and downstream section lengths need to be reserved according to the following pipeline conditions, and the specific installation position selection is shown in the figure:
2. Installation Requirements and Calculation Insertion Depth Drilling and Installation Ball Valve: Drill a hole with a diameter of ≥ 13 mm on the pipeline and install a ball valve with an internal thread specification of G 1/2 ".
. Installation direction: The Mu Bichang plug-in thermal mass flowmeter can be installed in any direction, including horizontal, vertical, side, and inverted. Insertion depth calculation: It is recommended to use the center insertion method. Insertion depth=x+yx=OD/2 (OD is the outer diameter of the pipeline) y=height from the top of the pipeline to the ball valve Example: For a 2 "pipeline, if the ball valve height is 87mm and the OD is 60.3mm, the insertion depth is 30.15mm+87mm=117.15mm. For pipe diameters greater than 200mm, 100mm can be chose
