Configuration — Sealed Welded
Housing (Option Code W0)
Relief Valves
The first optional configuration, identified by the W1 in the model number
option code, uses a completely welded coil housing. This configuration does
not provide separate electrode compartments with external electrode access.
This optional housing configuration provides a relief valve in the housing to
prevent possible overpressuring caused by damage to the lining or other
situations that might allow process pressure to enter the housing. The relief
valve will vent when the pressure inside the sensor housing exceeds 5 psi.
Additional piping (provided by the user) may be connected to this relief valve
to drain any process leakage to safe containment (see Figure 5-18).
