Note
For steam or other elevated temperature services, it is important that temperatures at the
Coplanar process flanges must not exceed 250 °F (121 °C) for transmitters with silicone fill, or
185 °F (85 °C) for inert fill. For vacuum service, these temperature limits are reduced to 220 °F
(104 °C) for silicone fill and 160 °F (71 °C) for inert fill.

Process Connections

3051 Wireless transmitter flange process connection size is
/ –14 NPT connections are available as the D2 option. Use your plant-approved lubricant or

sealant when making the process connections. The process connections on the transmitter
flange are on 2
manifold. Rotate one or both of the flange adapters to attain connection centers of 2 inches
(51 mm), 2
Install and tighten all four flange bolts before applying pressure to avoid leakage. When properly
installed, the flange bolts will protrude through the top of the sensor module housing. Do not
attempt to loosen or remove the flange bolts while the transmitter is in service.
To install adapters to a Coplanar flange, perform the following procedure:

Figure 3.4.2 for examples of the following mounting configurations:
Place taps to the side of the line to prevent sediment deposits on the process isolators.
Mount the transmitter beside or below the taps so gases vent into the process line.
Mount drain/vent valve upward to allow gases to vent.
Place taps in the top or side of the line.
Mount the transmitter beside or above the taps so to drain liquid into the process line.
Place taps to the side of the line.
Mount the transmitter below the taps to ensure that impulse piping will remain filled
with condensate.
Fill impulse lines with water to prevent steam from contacting the transmitter directly
and to ensure accurate measurement start-up.
