Installation details, Commissioning, Basic information and nomenclature

Bend, vertical

A bend – with a straight duct section of at least 2H upstream of the volume flow rate measuring unit – has only a negligible effect on the volume flow rate accuracy.

Installation and commissioning

Any installation orientation (except units with static differential pressure transducer)
Note the upstream and downstream conditions
Static differential pressure transducer: Check zero point and correct, if necessary

Upstream conditions

The volume flow rate accuracy ΔV applies to a straight upstream section of the duct. Bends, junctions or a narrowing or widening of the duct cause turbulence that may affect measurement. Duct connections, e.g. branches off the main duct, must comply with EN 1505. Some installation situations require straight duct sections upstream.

Space required for commissioning and maintenance

Sufficient space must be kept clear near any attachments to allow for commissioning and maintenance. It may be necessary to provide sufficiently sized inspection access openings.
