Configurations
The optimum gauge mounting configuration depends on the application;
however, the source head and the detector are typically mounted together
on the opposite sides of a pipe. The following mounting options are
supported for the gauge:
●
Dual chain
●
Pipe saddle (cradle) mount
●
Pipe spool with gauge head pre-installed
The chain mount is the most frequently used mounting configuration, as it
allows the unit to be mounted on a range of pipe sizes using the same
mounting hardware.
Note Moving the gauge to a pipe with a different diameter may require
changing the radiation source size and/or reconfiguring the detector (ion
chamber) electronics. Contact Thermo Fisher for assistance.
▲
In addition to the guidelines listed earlier in this chapter, note the
following when planning gauge head installation.
●
Whichever mounting configuration is used, it is important to align the
beam path (the centerline of the source housing) as closely as possible
with the centerline of the detector housing. Be sure to mount the gauge
head securely, since any movement or change in alignment can affect
the gauge’s calibration.
