I would like to ask how to install an integrated V-cone flow meter for measuring vapor in the best way

I want to use an integrated V-cone flow meter to measure steam; I’m not sure what the ideal installation method would be
It is similar to the installation requirements for orifice plates.
V-cones generally have no special requirements regarding straight pipe sections, which is one of the advantages of V-cones over other flow measurement instruments; they can usually be installed using flanges, either horizontally or vertically.
What is your steam temperature? . When making the selection, it is important to choose a gauge that can withstand high temperatures or one with an extended design; it is best to use an integrated orifice plate equipped with a separation tank
It is best to install the steam meter at an angle of 45 degrees inclined upward, with the isolation tank installed horizontally. Although the installation guidelines for differential pressure flow meters used for measuring steam state that either a horizontal or vertical orientation is acceptable, in practice a vertical installation leads to inaccurate measurements for low flow rates
