Customer-Supplied Pipe Nipple Analyzer Mounting

"Analyzer Flush Mounting (Preferred Method)" – for example, the process wall
is curved sharply, covered with insulation, or obstructed with reinforcing mem-
bers – you can instead:
1. Weld a short 8.89 cm (3 1/2") diameter pipe nipple to the process wall and
2. Weld the 17.78 cm x 19.37 cm (7" x 7 5/8") supplied plate to the end of the
3. Wrap the nipple with at least 2.54 cm (1") weatherproof insulation and
4. Bolt the analyzer to the plate.
If mounting the analyzer using this method, you can also install the probe
heater to minimize the possibility of the sample gas cooling below its dew-
point.
