3.5 Transducer Installation
Install the transducer at a suitable location per Section 3.4.2. The transducer may
be a flange mount, a sanitary mount, or a threaded mount depending on your
specific application requirements.
If the transducer must be installed near equipment generating external magnetic
fields (pumps, motors, etc.), rotating the sensor by 90° around the sheath’s axis
may substantially reduce magnetic interference.
Flange Mount Installation
3.5.1.1 To Install the Transducer
•
Install a flange gasket between the transducer and the
pipe or vessel flange.
•
Lift the transducer by the flange and/or the dome.
DO
NOT LIFT BY THE SENSOR TIP OR SHEATH!
•
Position the transducer against the pipe or vessel flange
in the desired orientation.
•
Couple the transducer flange to the pipe or vessel
flange using appropriate flange mounting bolts.
•
Always tighten the flange mounting bolts in a staggered,
crosswise fashion to ensure an evenly distributed
coupling between the flange mating surfaces.
•
Bolts should be well lubricated and torqued to 50% of
bolt yield stress.
