The linearity and accuracy of the FP-6000 Seriessensor depend on predictable flow conditions inthe pipe and proper location of the fitting. Aswith any insertion flow sensor, the pipe must be fulland generally free of air pockets. 2.1 Location of Fitting The sensor must be located in a free-flowingst...
