Probe installation

WARNING
If the pipe or vessel into which the probe is to be inserted is under pressure
and/or contains any hazardous substance, such as steam, caustic solutions,
acids, toxins or other substances specified by OSHA as physical or health
hazards, the pipe or vessel must first be depressurized and any hazardous
substance purged there from, and appropriate lockout/tagout procedures
observed in accordance with Section 1910.147 of the OSHA Regulations,
before the probe can be installed. Failure to follow these procedures may
result in serious injury or death.

Some probes are supplied with an adjustable, compression NPT fitting (e.g.
Swagelok). With this fitting, follow this tightening sequence to ensure a tight
seal.
a) The Swagelok fitting should be held onto place with a plastic zip-tie
around the probe body. The zip-tie should be removed.
b) Determine the depth that the probe should extend into the pipe.
c) Tighten the larger upper nut until the tubing will not rotate freely by hand.
d) Make a mark on the nut. This mark will serve as a reference as the 6
o'clock position.
e) While holding fitting body steady, tighten the large upper nut 1 + 1⁄4 turns
to the 9 o'clock position.
f) This tightening sequence will crimp the internal ring onto the probe body
and should lock the fitting in place now.
g) Tighten the lower nut onto the pipe nipple or access point.
For fixed type probes (without the adjustable compression fitting) only the
1 1/16 hex nut needs to be tightened and the safety bracket is not required.

Ensure the flow rate of the process fluid does not exceed 20 feet per second
(fps). Stronger flow might damage probes with three finger electrodes and
interfere with the reading. If the flow rate exceeds the recommendation, a
different probe style may be required.
