2-5 Removal from Storage
Upon removal from storage, a visual inspection should be conducted to
verify the condition of the equipment is “as received.” If the equipment has
been in storage in conditions in excess of those recommended
(See Section 2-3), the device should be subjected to a pneumatic pressure
test in accordance with applicable vessel codes.
2-6 Gas Connections
Prior to installation ensure all piping is clean and free from obstructions.
Install piping in such a manner that permits easy access to the instrument
if removal becomes necessary.
2-7 Installation
Recommended installation procedures:
a. The SLA Enhanced RT should be located in a clean, dry atmosphere
relatively free from shock and vibration.
b. Leave sufficient room for access to Self-zero function push-button.
c. Install in such a manner that permits easy removal if the instrument
requires servicing.
d. The SLA Enhanced RT can be installed in any position. However,
mounting in orientations other than the original factory calibration
(see calibration data sheet supplied with the instrument) can result in a
±0.5% maximum full scale shift always re-zero following orientation
change and warmup.
e. When installing a mass flow controller or meter with full scale flow rates
of 10 slpm or greater, be aware that sharp, abrupt angles in the system
piping directly upstream of the controller may cause a small shift in
accuracy. If possible, have at least ten pipe diameters of straight tubing
upstream of the mass flow controller or meter. This is not required for
meters with an integrated filter.
