SENSOR HANDLING

Handle all parts carefully to prevent damage. Whenever possible, transport the system to the installation site in the original shipping containers. PTFE-lined sensors are shipped with end covers that protect it from both mechanical damage and normal unrestrained distortion. Remove the end covers just before installation.

Flanged sensors with a lifting lug on each flange make the sensor easier to handle when it is transported and lowered into place at the installation site.

Flanged sensors that do not have lugs must be supported with a lifting sling on each side of the housing.

Figure 5-1shows sensors correctly supported for handling and installation. Notice the plywood end pieces are still in place to protect the sensor liner during transportation.
