FIGURE 2-5. RECOMMENDED PIPING DIAGRAM
When the process liquid contains abrasive grit, avoid disturbance of the flow profile upstream of the
meter so that the liquid passes smoothly through the meter; elbows and turns can distort the flow
pattern causing uneven wear of the ceramic spool.

2.3.2 Meter Handling

The ceramic body of the Flowmeter must be protected at all times, as it can be damaged by sharp
objects or cracked by sharp impact blows. If required, temporary supports may be used during meter
installation. Do not pass any rope or wire sling through the meter bore. Meter weights are listed in
Table 1-2.

2.3.3 Pipe Connections

The Model 10D1477 magnetic flowmeter has a wafer type body designed for mounting between
adjacent pipe flanges. Most commonly used ANSI, BS and DIN type flanges can be accommodated.
Mounting hardware (studs, nuts, gaskets and the flange adapter device(s) for the particular flange
type and rating specified) is included with the meter, if required. (See Model Number Breakdown in
Section 1.2.)
