6.4.5 Mounting with Mounting Shoe and Band Clamp Clasp
• Insert the tension strap into the groove on the upper side of the mounting shoe (see Fig. 6.56).
• Position the mounting shoe and the clasp on the pipe. On horizontal pipes, mount the mounting shoe on the side of the
pipe, if possible.
• Place the tension strap around the pipe and insert it into the clasp.
• Tighten the tension strap.
• Tighten the screw of the clasp.
• Repeat the steps for fixing the second mounting shoe. Adjust the displayed transducer distance between the inner edges
of the mounting shoes by means of the measuring tape.
• Tighten the screws of the clasps.
• Insert the transducers into the mounting shoes. Press the transducer firmly on the pipe. There should be no air pockets
between transducer surface and pipe wall. Tighten the screw of the mounting shoe.
6.5 Temperature Probe
6.5.1 Preparation of the Pipe
The pipe has to be stable. It has to be able to withstand the pressure exerted by the mounting fixture of the temperature
probe.
A good thermal contact between pipe and temperature probe is obtained as follows:
• Clean the pipe at the selected measuring point:
–Remove any insulation material, rust or loose paint.
–If present, the paint layer has to be smoothed by sanding. The paint does not need to be removed completely.
• Use thermal conductivity foil or apply a layer of thermal conductivity paste or coupling compound to the contact surface
of the temperature probe. Observe the corresponding operating temperature range.
• Observe that there must be no air pockets between the contact surface of the temperature probe and the pipe wall.
For the installation of the temperature probe (response time 50 s), see section 6.5.2.
For the installation of the temperature probe (response time 8 s), see section 6.5.3.
Note! The clasp has to be completely in contact with the pipe to ensure a good fixation.
Fig. 6.56: Transducer in the mounting shoe, installed with tension strap and clasp
Note! If the transducers are mounted on a vertical pipe and the transmitter is placed lower than the trans-
ducers, the transducer cables should be fixed to the tension strap by a cable tie to protect them from
mechanical strain.
Attention! Observe the Safety Instructions for the Use in Explosive Atmosphere (see document SIFLUXUS).
