Surface Mounting
The sensor housing may be fixed to the outer surface of the tank in either of the ways described
below:
i)
The sensor housing may be fixed to the outer surface of the tank by means of stainless steel
saddle clips (see Fig 1 below). The saddle clips should be of a size to allow the sensor housing to
slide into position, after the clips have been welded to the tank, without using undue force,
and then be held firmly in position by the use of a 'setting' high thermal conductivity silicone
sealant.

ii)
Alternatively, the sensor housing may be fixed to the outside surface of the tank by inserting it
into a stainless steel tube of suitable diameter which has been pre-welded to the tank surface
(see Fig.2 below). The tube should be of such a size that the sensor housing can easily slide into
it without the use of undue force and then be held in position by the use of a 'setting' high
thermal conductivity sealant which is suitable for use in the environment of the hazardous
zone.
