Figure 7 Typical Flange Mounted Transmitter Installation - Honeywell ST 3000 Installation Manual

4.1 Mounting ST 3000 Transmitter,
Flange mounting
ATTENTION
It is the End User's responsibility to provide a flange gasket and mounting hardware that are suitable for the
transmitter's service condition.
To prevent degradation of performance in Flush-Mounted Flanged Transmitters, exercise care to ensure
that the internal diameter of the flange gasket does not obstruct the sensing diaphragm.
To prevent degradation of performance in Extended Mount Flanged Transmitters, ensure that there is
sufficient clearance in front of the sensing diaphragm body.

To mount a flange mounted transmitter model, bolt the transmitter's
flange to the flange pipe on the wall of the tank.
On insulated tanks, remove enough insulation to accommodate the
flange extension.
Figure 7 shows a typical installation for a transmitter with the flange on
the high pressure (HP) side so the HP diaphragm is in direct contact
with the process fluid. The low pressure (LP) side of the transmitter is
vented to atmosphere (no connection).
