MT100 Multipoint Flow Meter
Adjustable/Retractable Packing Gland Installation (MT100S)
Refer to drawings located in Appendix A for additional detail on packing gland probe installation. NPT and flange mounted gland are
available. Isolation valves are typically used in packing gland applications.
1. Apply proper sealant to packing thread and secure into customer process connection. Adjust the packing nut until the internal packing
is just tight enough to prevent excess process leakage but also allow the insertion pipe to be inserted into place. Orient the flat and
flow arrow properly.
2. For the medium pressure packing gland, secure elements by tightening nuts on threaded rods.
3. Tighten the packing nut another ½ to 1 turn until tight (approximately 65 – 85 ft-lbs).
4. Align the locking collar with connecting strap on packing nut. Tighten the two ¼-28 cap screws on the locking collar.
