What is the best place to mount the density sensor and the thermal massflow meter?

Hello,

The point of installation is very important for a succesful measurement. In the datasheet you find all information about it.
​
The minimum velocity for the density sensor of the flow shall be at least 1 feet or 30 cm. If you expect a lower velocity, please let us know.
There is no maximum velocity for the density sensor.

The minimum velocity for the thermal massflow sensor of the flow shall be at least 1 feet/s or 30 cm/s. If you expect a lower velocity, please let us know.
The maximum velocity for the thermal massflow sensor of the flow shall be 5 meter per second.


Never hesitate to contact us for assistance and clarifications. 

Thanks,
