Assembly of PVDF Probe
CAUTION!
Do NOT unwind coiled probe until actually feeding into
vessel! Damage will occur.
Assembly of a PVDF probe is almost the same as 316 SS probe,
except that a weight is used for probes longer than 16 feet
(3.66m) long to keep the probe perpendicular. A weight also
may be needed for probes being used in agitated applications
less than 12 feet in length.
PVDF probes up to 16 feet (4.88m) in length are relatively
rigid and shipped in the same way as 316 SS probes. PVDF
probes longer than 16 feet are coiled and shipped in a box.
Longer probes must be handled carefully to avoid damaging
the electronics mounted within the tube. A Nylon Compression
fitting and PVC reducer bushing are available for use with the
PVDF probe.
