SENSOR HANDLING
Handle all parts carefully to prevent damage. Whenever possible, transport
the system to the installation site in the original shipping containers.
PTFE-lined sensors are shipped with end covers that protect it from both
mechanical damage and normal unrestrained distortion. Remove the end
covers just before installation.
Flanged 6- through 36-inch sensors come with a lifting lug on each flange.
The lifting lugs make the sensor easier to handle when it is transported and
lowered into place at the installation site.
Flanged ½- to 4-inch sensors do not have lugs. They must be supported with
a lifting sling on each side of the housing.
Figure 5-1 shows sensors correctly supported for handling and installation.
Notice the plywood end pieces are still in place to protect the sensor liner
during transportation.
