For larger diameters or angular ducts a non-centric sensor position is taken into account for calibration. IMPORTANT (NOTE) Deviations from the stated dimension and position tolerances cause additional measuring uncertainty. 14 - EN Sensyflow FMT400-VTS, FMT400-VTCS CI/FMT400-VTS/VTCS-EN...
Mounting Weld-on adapter with ball valve for Sensyflow FMT400-VTS Versions featuring a ball valve enable the flowmeter sensor to be installed and disassembled at low gauge pressures in the pipeline with minimal gas leakage. Install the weld-on adapter as described in Section 4.3.
