Mounting Positions; Installation - bürkert 8045 Bedienungsanleitung

In order to ensure a high precision of the measure and good stability of
the „flow zero" point, the transmitter must be installed into the processed
medium at least 24 H before calibration (electrode passivation).
Dismounting precautions:
All precautions must be taken before removing the transmitter depending
on the process used as the pipe may contain dangerous / agressive hot
fluids or fluids with high temperatures or pressures.

3.1.1 Mounting positions

The 8045 electromagnetic flow transmitter can be mounted in the following ways to obtain
an accurate flow measurement although the piping should be designed to ensure that the
pipe is maintained full at all times to avoid inaccurate measurement.
Mounting horizontally
Mounting vertically
Correct
When mounting vertically ensure that the flow direction is in an upward direction
as indicated by the arrow.
Always mount the transmitter upstream a possible injection point in the pipe of a
high-conductivity product (acid, base, saline,...).
It is advisable to mount the transmitter at a 45° angle to the hori-
zontal centre of the pipe as shown in the diagram to avoid having
deposits on the electrodes and false measurements due to air
bubbles.
