• Municipal water management facilities
• Large-scale aquariums and marine parks
• Cooling systems for power plants or data centers
• Any application requiring precise flow measurement in 160mm pipes

Installation Tips

To ensure optimal performance of your FLVIS160:

1. Select a location that allows for easy reading of the scale and access for maintenance, considering the larger size of the 160mm meter
2. Ensure the flow direction aligns with the arrow indicated on the meter
3. Use appropriate 160mm fittings and sealants for a watertight installation
4. Verify that the installation orientation (horizontal, vertical, or inverted) suits your system layout
5. Flush the system thoroughly after installation to remove any debris that could affect accuracy
6. Consider the weight and size of the 160mm meter when planning support and mounting
7. Ensure proper support to prevent stress on the piping system due to the meter’s size

Maintenance

The FLVIS160 is engineered for minimal maintenance, but following these steps will ensure long-term reliability:

1. Regularly inspect the meter for any signs of leakage or damage
2. Clean the clear viewing window periodically to maintain optimal readability
3. Check the operation of the non-return valve occasionally to ensure it’s functioning correctly
4. Verify flow readings periodically against system performance expectations
5. Inspect gaskets and seals annually, replacing if necessary
6. Consider periodic professional inspections due to the critical nature of 160mm systems
7. Monitor for any unusual vibrations or sounds that could indicate flow disturbances
