2.5 Recommended installations for short-stem
meters
Micro Motion recommends three standard installations for the short-stem meter to
alleviate any need for onsite calibration. All meters are factory calibrated for these types of
installations and take into consideration the potential boundary effect of each installation.
Free stream applications
Flow rate
0.3 to 0.5 m/s at the meter
Viscosity Up to 20,000 cP
Temperature • -58 °F (-50.0 °C) to 392 °F (200.0 °C)
• -40 °F (-40.0 °C) to 392 °F (200.0 °C) in hazardous areas
Main flow pipe size • Horizontal pipe: minimum diameter, 4 in (102 mm)
• Vertical pipe: minimum diameter, 6 in (152 mm)
Advantages • Simple installation in large bore pipes
• Ideal for clean fluids and non-waxing oils
• Suitable for line density measurement and simple referrals
Recommendations Do not use with:
• Low or unstable flow rates
• For small bore pipes
