Insertion Procedure for Flow Meters with Permanent Insertion Tool

Caution!

The sensor alignment pointer must point downstream, in the direction of flow.

Note

If line pressure is above 500 psig, it could require up to 25 ft lb of torque to insert the flow meter.

Do not confuse this with possible interference in the pipe.

Figure 2-9. Flow Meter with Permanent Insertion Tool

1.Calculate the required sensor probe insertion length (see previous page). Measure from the depth marker arrow down the stanchion and scribe a mark at the calculated insertion depth.

2.Fully retract the flow meter until the sensor head is touching the bot- tom of the stem housing. Attach the meter assembly to the two inch full-port isolation valve, if used. Use Teflon tape or pipe sealant to improve seal and prevent seizing on NPT style.

3.Loosen the two packing gland nuts on the stem housing of the meter. Loosen the stem lock bolt adjacent to the sensor alignment pointer. Align the sensor head using the sensor alignment pointer. Adjust the alignment pointer parallel to the pipe and pointing downstream. Tighten the stem lock bolt to secure the sensor position.

4.Slowly open the isolation valve to the full open position. If necessary, slightly tighten the two packing gland nuts to reduce the leakage around the stem.

5.Turn the insertion tool handle clockwise to insert the sensor head into the pipe. Continue until the top of the upper retractor bracket aligns with the insertion length position scribed on the stanchion. Do not force the stem into the pipe.

6.Tighten the packing gland nuts to stop leakage around the stem. Do not torque over 20 ft-lb.
