To ensure proper installation depth, measure the distance (D1) from the outside diameter of main pipe to the end
of the connection where the CHA™ sensor is going to be installed. FIG. 3-7
3.
You must now calculate the minimum insertion distance for the CHA (minimum depth to ensure probe is fully
in flow)
Minimum Insertion Distance (MID) = D1 + Pipeline Wall Thi 2"
Example for D1=16", pipe WT =1/4", Seal Thickness=1/8":
MID = 16 + 1/4 + 1/8 +
2
MID = 18 3/8"
4.
Measure the calculated MID from the top of the
seal clamp and place a mark with a permanent
marker or tape on the Shaft. FIG. 3-8
