Process connections
Coplanar or traditional process connection
Install and tighten all four flange bolts before applying pressure, or process leakage will result.
When properly installed, the flange bolts will protrude through the top of the sensor module
housing. Do not attempt to loosen or remove the flange bolts while the transmitter is in service.
Flange adaptors:
Rosemount 3051DP and GP process connections on the transmitter flanges are
1
/
4
–18 NPT.
Flange adapters are available with standard
1
/
2
–14 NPT Class 2 connections. The flange adapters
allow users to disconnect from the process by removing the flange adapter bolts. Use
plant-approved lubricant or sealant when making the process connections. Refer to
Dimensional Drawings on
for the distance between pressure connections. This
distance may be varied ±
1
/
8
in. (3.2 mm) by rotating one or both of the flange adapters.
To install adapters to a Coplanar flange, perform the following procedure:
1.
Remove the flange bolts.
2.
Leaving the flange in place, move the adapters into position with the o-ring installed.
3.
Clamp the adapters and the Coplanar flange to the transmitter sensor module using the
larger of the bolts supplied.
4.
Tighten the bolts. Refer to
for torque specifications.
