When measuring fluids containing suspended solids, install permanent
valves at regular intervals to blow-down piping.
Blow-down all lines on new installations with compressed air or steam
and flush them with process fluids (where possible) before connecting
these lines to the transmitter's meter body.
Be sure all the valves in the blow-down lines are closed tight after the
initial blow-down procedure and each maintenance procedure after that.
Table 6 gives the steps for installing an optional 1/2 inch NPT flange
adapter on the process head.
Slightly deforming the gasket supplied with the adapter before you insert it
into the adapter may aid in retaining the gasket in the groove while you
align the adapter to the process head. To deform the gasket, submerse it in
hot water for a few minutes then firmly press it into its recessed mounting
groove in the adapter.
