Thermo Scientific AquaSensors™ DataStick™ Measurement System User Guide
13
DataStick systems use 1-inch NPT threads for insertion and immersion applications. The threads on the back-body are used for
submersion and Thermo Scientific AquaSensors Union Mount hardware and the front threads are used for insertion into standard plumbing
tees. A variety of sanitary mounts are available with DataSticks that have a special retaining ring just below the hex flats. PEEK
®
sensor
heads with sanitary face seals should be used in sanitary applications along with stainless steel sensor bodies that have special mounting
rings between the wrench flats and the NPT threads.
Figure 8: Mounting Hardware Overview
Use a 1-¼ inch wrench to turn the sensor body into pipe fittings that have internal 1-inch NPT threads. Use Teflon tape on all threads
to insure a proper seal. Do not use liquid thread compounds on DataStick threads.
Use the back threads of DataStick for
extension pipes. Integral junction
boxes are used for wire termination.
For Sanitary applications use
Thermo Scientific
AquaSensors fittings.
Use special Thermo Scientific
AquaSensors Union Mount fittings
for applications that require frequent
removal for calibration.
