Flowmeter 1

[Inchtain]

Hello,

We have a 3-phase separator where a water flowmeter was installed at the 6" Oil pipe but in a way that its screen is not very accessible due to a nearby 10" insulated pipe. (See attached photo)

I would like to know if this situation needs alteration, and how?

Thanks

Yes it does.

Depends on the meter but you can often rotate the display section separate to the main body so that is can face any way you want.

you might though need to take it apart to do it. RTFM.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

FYI,

The attachment is not a photo, it's a .doc.

My browser forces me to save the file and then open it.

I'm lazy and that multi-step process is just too many steps to take a look at a photo (and I don't really want to have to go back and delete the file afterwards). The forum offers the ability to embed the photo in the post itself using the "image" button in the tool bar.

HI,
Did you check with the supplier or read the manual associated to the meter or "Google" the reference of the instrument?
Probably here you have a good reason to talk to your Instrument engineer.
My 2 cents

IMO that will depend on you actually needing to read the meter locally!

I cant see why you should throw good money after "bad" if you dont read the flow on this screen. In special cases it might be cheaper just to call the CCR and have them read the flow from the screen.
