Rosemount 5600 Series
For Bridle Pipes
For Bridle applications the basic guidelines are similar to the guidelines
written above for Still Pipes, i.e. that the 3, 4 and 6" Cone antennas will fit the
corresponding pipe sizes, and you should try to get the gap as small as
possible. If possible, and if the application allows for it, another general
guideline is to keep the pipe inlet as small as possible.
In more difficult bridle applications with inlet pipes larger than 2 in. or in pipes
with severe contamination can be expected, the antenna size should be
customized to better fit the pipe. In this case do the following:
a. Measure the inner diameter of the pipe.
b. Cut the cone antenna so that it fits inside the Bridle Pipe.
c. Make sure that the gap between the pipe and the antenna is smaller
than 0.04 inches (1 mm).
Please contact your local Emerson Process Management representative for
details about a factory-cut antenna.
