Orienting the Sensor

Step 2 Orienting the Sensor

The sensor will function properly in any orientation if the sensor tubes remain filled with process fluid. Micro Motion recommends orienting the sensor in a vertical pipeline, with process fluid flowing upward through the sensor (see Figure 5).

Self-draining applications

T-Series sensors can be installed to be self-draining in any orientation.

Hygienic applications

For optimal cleanability and drainability, follow these guidelines:

•Install the sensor in a vertical pipeline if possible.

•If the sensor must be installed in a horizontal pipeline, the process piping and sensor tubing should have the same internal diameter (ID). The process end connections for the piping and sensor must be the same size. Only sanitary fittings are compatible with a horizontal orientation.

•For clean-in-place (CIP) applications, Micro Motion recommends using the generally-accepted flow velocity of at least 1.5 m/s for cleaning the sensor.

•If the process piping must be larger than the sensor, eccentric reducers may be used to ensure full drainability. In this case, the process end connections for the piping and sensor must be the same size. See Figure 6.
