FLOWMETER
This section provides hardware installation instructions for the
Threaded, Welded, and Flanged Mass ProPlate models used in either a
horizontal or vertical pipe.
If remote mounting of the electronics is required, use this section for
hardware installation. Then, see “Remote Mounting connections only”
on page 2-18 for electronics installation.
• The direct mount maximum service temperature is 450°F
(232°C).
• The electronics must be remote mounted when service
temperatures exceed 450°F (232°C).
Mass ProPlate
Configurations
The Mass ProPlate series comes pre-assembled and requires only
installation into a service pipe. General installation instructions are as
follows.
1. Remove appropriate length of process pipe for meter section.
2. Insure process connections match the meter section to be installed.
3. Connect the meter assembly to the process connection and orient
the transmitter as shown in the installation diagram.
4. Tighten the process connections.
Liquid Service in a Horizontal Pipe
Install the Mass ProPlate with the transmitter facing down to prevent
air from becoming entrapped within the meter assembly. Figure 2-17
illustrates the recommended location for the Mass ProPlate when used
with liquid service.
