Inspecting and Cleaning Barrier Diaphragms

Background
Procedure
Table 27
1/99
Depending on the characteristics of the process medium being measured,
sediment or other foreign particles may collect in the process head
cavity/chamber and cause faulty measurement. In addition, the barrier
diaphragms in the transmitter's meter body may become coated with a
residue from the process medium.
In most cases, you can readily remove the process heads from the
transmitter's meter body to clean the process head cavity and inspect the
barrier diaphragms.
The procedure in Table 27 outlines the general steps for inspecting and
cleaning barrier diaphragms.
