4.5.8 Installation in the vicinity of pumps
• For flowmeter primaries which are to be installed in the vicinity of
pumps or other vibration generating equipment, the utilization of
mechanical snubbers is advantageous.

4.5.9 Installing the high temperature design
The high temperature design allows for complete thermal insulation of
the sensor. The pipeline and sensor must be insulated after installing
the unit according to the following illustration.

4.5.10 Devices with extended diagnostic functions
For devices with extended diagnostic functions different installation
conditions may be valid.
For further information read and observe chapter 8 “Extended
diagnostic functions”.
4.5.11 Installation in pipelines with larger nominal
diameters
Determine the resulting pressure loss when using reduction pieces
(1):
1. Calculate the diameter ratio d/D.
2. Determine the flow velocity based on the flow range nomograph
(Fig. 20).
3. Read the p
ressure drop on the Y-axis in Fig. 20.
