2.3.5 Mounting Procedure, Sanitary Coupling

The magnetic flowmeter must be oriented as shown by the flow direction arrow on the meter data tag.
The meter, when installed, will generally be supported by the adjacent pipeline sections. These
upstream and downstream pipe sections must be fabricated of rigid piping. Further, meter inlet and
outlet piping must conform with recommended piping practices and be properly supported by use of
anchors, guides, hangers or other mechanical support systems. Pipe supports should be placed
adjacent to the meter inlet and outlet to eliminate excessive stress on the Tri-Clamp couplings. Refer
to Figure 2-9 to supplement this discussion.
Install the meter with its pipe axis (centerline) in line with the center line of the piping system. It will
be necessary to support the flowmeter temporarily until the inlet and outlet connections have been
secured. All piping and hardware (except gaskets) must be stainless steel to comply with sanitary
requirements.
