    Flowcell problems fall into two categories: fluid problems or pipe problems. Read the following sections carefully to determine if the problem is indeed related to the flowcell. If the instructions in this section fail to resolve the problem, contact GE for assistance. 5.2.2.1 Fluid Problems Most fluid-related problems result from a failure to observe the flow meter system installation instructions.
  • Page 106 For a GE flowcell, this data will be included with the documentation for the system. If the transducers are mounted onto an existing pipe, these dimensions must be precisely measured.
