Series 5000TC Toroidal (electrodeless) Conductivity Sensors
Installing Hardware into Process Pipe/Vessel
Mount the insertion hardware assembly into a portion of the process pipe or vessel where air cannot be
trapped and subsequently contact the toroidal sensors.
Table 3-6 Procedure for Installing Hardware into Process Pipe/Vessel
Step
1
Install a 2-inch NPT female fitting (tee or flange) into the process pipe or vessel.
Screw the insertion hardware assembly's 2-inch NPT nipple (item A) into the mounted fitting.
2
Securely tighten the connection.
3
Connect a water line to the insertion hardware assembly.
Follow steps a through c to counterbalance pressure
4
a
To help counterbalance the pressure of the process during insertion and extraction, and to
clean the insertion assembly with an internal water flush, connect a 1/4-inch water line to the
1/4-inch tube fitting on the insertion hardware assembly.
b
Install a hand-operated shutoff valve upstream of the hardware's 1/4-inch tube fitting to control
the flow of water.
c
Install a check valve in the water line to prevent process solution from surging into the water
line should the process pressure exceed the water pressure.
CAUTION: THE WATER LINE PRESSURE MUST BE GREATER THAN THE PROCESS
PRESSURE, BUT CANNOT EXCEED 100 PSI.
Turn the insertion hardware ball valve (item B) to the fully closed position.
5
6
Start the process flow.
Installing Sensor into Hardware Assembly
After calibration, install the sensor/extractor shaft assembly into the mounted insertion hardware assembly.
Table 3-7 Procedure for Installing Sensor into Hardware Assembly
Step
With the ball valve (item B) fully closed and the sensor/extractor shaft assembly extracted
1
approximately halfway, insert the sensor/shaft assembly into the valve housing (item C) until the
surface of the flanged bushing (item D) presses against the O-ring on the housing. Make sure that
the O-ring is properly seated.
Tighten the lock ring (item F) onto the valve housing.
