3.4.2.3 Flow Considerations
While the transducer can be installed at any angle relative
to the direction of the process flow, it is desirable that, if at
all possible,
the probe points into the sample flow
in order
to minimize stagnant flow and trapped air at the sensor tip.
The sensor tip and outer sheath must be fully immersed in
representative process material to obtain accurate
measurements.
Figure 3.5 shows
“
preferred
”
and “undesirable” (not
recommended) mounting scenarios for the transducer. Use
of an integral neck extension to fill dead space is
recommended.
Figure 3.5: Preferred Transducer Mounting
In situations where the transducer must be installed
perpendicular to the process flow, high viscosity material
and / or higher flow rates may damage the transducer.
Galvanic Applied Sciences will work with you to address
your needs during the design process.
