Application Notes
- Saturated Steam Service: Not acceptable
- Potable Water: Not acceptable
- Vacuum Service: Not acceptable
- Gaseous Service: Acceptable when configured for Gases
- Installation: 10 pipe diameters of straight pipe required Upstream, No requirements downstream. Keep medias from freezing at all times in meter. Do not subject meter to water hammer. These Digital Meters require 24VDC power. We recommend that they are installed by an experienced installer or electrician.
- Corrosion: Before ordering, verify all materials of our flow meters are compatible with the service media(s), intermittently used cleaners, the environment, and cleaning processes in conjunction with the temperatures and pressures of the application(s) and future applications. John C. Ernst Co. does not make chemical compatibility recommendations. Compatibility is the responsibility of the user and/or specifying party.
