2.3 INSTALLATION — DEBUBBLER ASSEMBLY
See Figure 2-4 for installation.
Connect the sample line to the inlet fitting. The fitting accepts 1/4-inch OD tubing. See Section 2.6 for recom-
mended installation of the sample port.
Attach a piece of 3/8 inch ID soft tubing to the drain fitting. The debubbler
must
drain to atmosphere.
NOTE
During operation, the debubbler is under pressure. A 0.040 inch (1 mm) orifice in the outlet pro-
vides the pressure. Back pressure helps prevent outgassing, which can lead to bubbles accu-
mulating on the sensor face resulting in erroneous readings. DO NOT EXCEED 30 psig (308
kPa abs) inlet pressure.
The amount of pressure in the debubbler can be estimated from the flow rate. See Table 2-1.
To control and monitor sample flow, a valved rotameter with fittings is available (PN 24103-00). Attach the
rotameter to the debubbler outlet. The rotameter can also be used to increase back pressure on the debubbler if
additional pressure is needed to prevent outgassing.

CAUTION
BEFORE REMOVING THE SENSOR, be absolutely
certain the process pressure is reduced to 0 psig
and the process temperature is at a safe level.
