Mechanical Installation - CVG101 convection gauge

3.2
Mount the CVG101 as close as possible to the pressure you want to measure. Long or restricted, small diameter
tubing will create a pressure difference between your process chamber and the gauge. This may cause a delay
in response to pressure changes.
Mounting the CVG101 too close to a gas source inlet may also cause measurement and control instability. Do
not mount the CVG101 near a source of heating or cooling, such as heaters or air conditioning vents.
Mount the CVG101 with its main axis horizontal (see diagram below). Pressure reading errors may occur above 1
Torr if the unit is not mounted horizontally. Below 1 Torr, mounting position has little to no effect.
For Accurate Measurements Above 1 Torr, Mount the Gauge
Axis Horizontally as Shown Below
Correct Orientation
Incorrect Orientation
Mount the CVG101 with port down, if possible, to help minimize the effect of any particles or condensation from
collecting in the gauge.
Do not mount the CVG101 where it will be subjected to excessive vibration. Vibrations may cause unstable
readings, measurement errors and possible mechanical stress to components in the CVG101.
Flanges/ Fittings - follow the manufacturer's recommendations and note the following:
- NPT fittings: When connecting the device using a NPT fitting, apply a thread sealant compound or wrap the
threaded portion of the tubing with one-and-a-half to two wraps of pipe thread seal tape such as PTFE (Teflon®)
tape and hand tighten the gauge into the gauge port. Do not use a wrench or other tool which may damage the
gauge.
