Pre-Installation
2.1 Transportation
Care should be used in carrying, moving, and shipping the HTX thermocouple. A significant portion
of the HTX is constructed of ceramic. Ceramics are very brittle at ambient temperature and can be
damaged by mechanical shock.
The unit is equipped with a sand-filled protective shipping tube when it leaves the factory. This tube
and its sand packing should be left in place until the persons installing the unit have arrived at the
installation site and are ready to insert the HTX and make up the flange.
The shipping tube and shipping crate should be retained for re-shipment and storage of the HTX assembly.
2.2 Storage
Store equipment in a clean, dry place. It is recommended that the equipment remain packaged until
ready for installation to prevent breakage or misplacing of components.
When storing a unit or preparing it for shipment, the shipping tube should be reinstalled and filled
with clean, fine #1 blasting sand.
2.3 Handling
Unit(s) are constructed with ceramic material that is susceptible to damage from rough handling.
Unit(s) should only be handled with their protective shipping pipes in place, and, whenever possible
transported to/from the installation site in their original shipping containers.
2.4 Pre-Installation Preparation

2.5 Site Installation Survey
A. Confirm the vessel nozzle location relative to the instrument tag number, the planned installation
location of the Delta Controls Flush Gas Control Station and the temperature transmitter.
B. Confirm the transmitter thermocouple compatibility with the thermocouple element type(s).
