A typical installation is in a pipe or culvert with diameters between 150mm and 2000 mm. The Ultraflow QSD 6537 should be located near the downstream end of a straight and clean culvert, where non-turbulent flow conditions are maximised. The mounting should ensure the unit sits right on the bottom to avoid debris catching beneath it.
It is recommended that in open pipe situations that the instrument is situated 5 times the diameter from the opening or discharge. This will allow instrument to measure the best possible laminar flow. Keep the instrument away from pipe joints. Corrugated culverts are not suitable for Ultraflow QSD 6537 instruments.
In culverts the sensor can be mounted on a stainless steel band that is slipped inside the pipe and expanded to lock it in position. In open channels special mounting brackets may be required.
