III. GUIDELINES FOR PIPE MOUNTING
The CLASSIC 800 is a flow, point lev el, interface and temperature sensing dev ice. The sensor tip must be
inserted in the proper location and to the proper depth in order to accurately react to your process
conditions. The following information, including Figures 5 through 9, should be considered as text book
examples for proper installation.
Notes: Most pipe connections for instrumentation are a v ariation of a butt-weld-type such as the weldolet or
threadolet shown in Figure 4. The length of this connection must be added to the pipe diameter when
determining the insertion length for the sensor. The Kayden literature refers to this “insertion length”
dimension as the “U” length, Figure 5.
Horizontal Pipe – Side Mount (Ideal)
As shown in Figure 6a, ensure sensing tip is inserted to a point between 5% and 75% of the inside
diameter of the pipe. Av
oid locations where sediment may accumulate and isolate the sensing tip from the
process.
Horizontal Pipe – Top Mount
Gas will always collect at the top of any pipe, ensure sensing tip is inserted to a point where it will be
constantly and fully exposed to the desired process media.
Horizontal Pipe – Bottom Mount
Because sediment will always collect at the bottom of any pipe, ensure sensing tip is inserted to a point
where it will be constantly and fully exposed to the desired process media. Av
oid locations where sediment
may accumulate and ev entually isolate the sensing tip from the process.
