(2) Pipe Orientation
The detector may be installed in horizontal, vertical or sloping pipe runs as shown in
Figure 4.6. However, except for horizontal installation, fluid should flow from lower to
upper directions. See Figure 4.6.
Detector
The electrodes should be positioned horizontally against the ground surface in any piping
installation. See Figure 4.7.
