3.5.1.2 Using the Transducer Position Indexing
Mark During Installation and Removal
Ensuring the transducer is always installed in the same
position / orientation aids in consistent and reproducible
coupling. Use the position indexing mark
^
as a reference
for orientation.
When the transducer has been removed/uncoupled from
the mating flange, be sure to re-install it in the same
position / orientation as prior to removal. See Figure 3.7 for
the location of the transducer indexing mark.

Sanitary Mount Installation
If the processing system must be regularly disassembled for cleaning
to maintain proper functionality and compliance with regulatory
requirements, the ViscoSite transducer is coupled to the process using
a sanitary mount
As sanitary piping is generally not well supported,
the pipe
surrounding the transducer mounting location MUST be stabilized
.
Use multiple pipe supports to rigidly attach the incoming and outgoing
piping to a nearby floor, wall, or I-beam.
If the process pipe cannot be suitably secured, an optional Sanitary
Sample Cell can be used to ensure a stable, stress free mounting.
Contact Galvanic Applied Sciences for further information.
For sanitary clamps, follow the clamp manufacturer’s guidelines for
minimum torque. A clamp which is not secured properly may lead to
unstable ViscoSite Viscometer measurements.
