X144D e-FlowMeter nstallation, Maintenance and Operation
The X144D is an insertion flow meter designed to provide flow information from inside a Cla-Val Control
valve.This innovative device measures flow information using standard Cla-Val control valve bodies at locations
where typical flow meters cannot provide accurate measurements. As opposed to industry standard insertion
flow meters, the X144D e- lowMeter can be installed directly into the inlet side of a Cla-Val Control Valve,
eliminating the need for costly downtime and pipe work. The X144D can also be inserted in valves at piping
locations not usually permitted for flow measurement, such as directly downstream of a flow disturbance such
as elbows, valves or reducer within just a few pipe diameters (see installation recommendations for conditions.)
This manual will help you install, operate, and maintain the X144D e- lowMeter.
mportant Safety nformation
The following safety notices are used in this manual:
• CAUT ON: indicates that minor personal injury, product or property damage may occur if
the notice is ignored.
• NOTE: indicates special instructions that are important but are not related to hazards.
Please see examples shown below:
NOTE:The X144D e- lowMeter may
be installed in inlet tap of either side of
the Cla-Val Automatic Control Valve.
CAUT ON: ailure to install the unit
correctly could result in faulty operation
and/or damage to the unit.
CAUT ON:
Valve in which X144D e- lowMeters
are installed MUST have upstream
and downstream Isolation Valves to
ensure that the line is locked out and
not under pressure during
installation, maintenance or removal
of the X144D e- lowMeter.
CAUT ON:
In all cases, installation should be done by
qualified mechanical or electrical
personnel.
CAUT ON: BEFORE removing pipe plug,
make sure that the pressure in the valve
has been bled off to prevent injury to
personnel or damage to non-waterproof
equipment.
CAUT ON 1: ailure to use the
provided Insertion Tool W LL result

CAUT ON2: To avoid injury, isolate
the valve and bleed pressure prior
to removing the e- lowMeter

SECT ON 1: System Components and How They Work
1.1 - Theory of Operation
The X144D e- lowMeter is an insertion vortex flowmeter based on a phenomenon which generates of a
succession of alternating swirls called Karman vortex street ( igure 1-1).
When the fluid meets an obstacle (called a bluff body) which is placed in parallel with the flow of the fluid it
divides the flow and generates small swirls or vortices alternately on both sides downstream of the obstacle.
The generation of the swirls is directly proportional to the speed of the fluid. The detached swirls generate
zones of variable pressure that are detected by the forces acting on a small piezoelectric crystal
encapsulated in the transmitter ( igures 1-2 and 1-3).
The X144D e- lowMeter employs an innovative feature called the Swivel Measurement Cylinder which
allows for the proper distance between the bluff body and the sensor, while still retaining the capability of
being inserted into a tapping as small as 1/2-inch NPT.

2.1 - nstallation Locations:
or optimum performance, it is recommended that the valve in which the X144D e- lowMeter is installed be
located as shown in the “Optimum Installations” illustration below, igure 2-1.
CAUT ON: Valves in which X144D e- lowMeters are installed MUST have upstream and downstream
Isolation Valves to ensure that the line is locked out and NOT under pressure during installation, maintenance
or removal of the X144D e- lowMeter.

Install Isolation Valve (any style) a minimum
of 5 pipe diameters upstream of the control valve
For installation directly onto the inlet flange of the
control valve or where less than 5 pipe diameters
upstream is the only option, an Isolation Valve MUST
be a ful ported, wide open Gate or Sluice style valve.
In this scenario, the Isolation Valve MUST NOT
be a Butterfly style valve.

Note: Do not use with 40 Series Rate-of- low Controllers with orifice on inlet
Do not use butterfly valves adjacent to X144D installations

Section 2: nstallation of the X144D e-FlowMeter (continued)
2.2 - Materials Required for nstallation
nsertion tool
• Tool allows the proper installation and alignment of the
bluff body to be parallel to upstream flow, ( igure 1-5).
Power Supply
• 6-30 VDC, 0.7 Watts minimum. If more than one piece of equipment will be connected to
this power supply, you must verify that the power supply is large enough to handle all the power needs of
the entire system, not just the X144D e- lowMeter.
• You will also need the appropriate equipment to connect the X144D to each the power supply. See your
local electrical specifications to determine the appropriate wire and connection hardware.
Pipe and Fittings Mounting Hardware
• The X144D connects directly into the control valve on an inlet port and the size of the thread is dependent
on the specific valve size for which it it has been calibrated - no additional fittings are required.
Cabling
• The X144D has 30 feet cable supplied and attached as a factory standard. If additional lengths of cable
are
needed, the connections should be made with #22 AWG or larger cable and may need to be shielded in
some environments where high electrical noise may exist. If using shielded cable, one end of the shielding
should be connected to an earth ground, such as a piping system fitting, etc.
CAUT ON:
• In all cases, installation should be done by qualified mechanical or electrical personnel.
