Installation
11.2 Preparing the thread at the measurement point
In order to install the pressure transducer, a receiving thread is required at the measuring point. The latter
must already show the following specifications or must be prepared correspondingly:
11.3 Installation example for connections in accordance with EN 837-1 with a cylindrical thread
In order to seal the process connection (1) with a cylindrical thread (3) at the sealing surface (4), flat gaskets
(2) are employed.
Installation steps
•
Use a suitable gasket for the sealing (2), e.g. a copper gasket, corresponding to the measuring medium
and the pressure to be measured.
•
The sealing surface (4) of the part to be received must have a perfect, clean, and undamaged surface.
•
Manually screw the pressure transducer into the receiving thread.
•
Do not twist the thread turns during the screwing-in.
•
Only screw-in or unscrew the device via the spanner flats using a suitable tool, and with the specified
torque. The correct torque depends on the dimension of the process connection and on the used gasket
(shape/material). During the screwing-in or unscrewing, do not use the housing as a working surface.
•
Subsequently, tighten the threaded-end fitting with the open-end spanner (for G¼" max. 20 Nm).
