3.4.3 Pipelines with control valve
INFORMATION!
To ensure smooth and correct measurement, the manufacturer recommends not installing the measuring device downstream from a control valve. This would run the risk of vortex formation, which would distort the measuring result.
Figure 3-4: Pipeline with control valve
1Recommended: installing the device upstream from the control valve at a distance of ≥ 5 DN
2Not recommended: Installing the flowmeter directly downstream of control valves, due to vortex formation.
