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 6- through 36-inch sensors come with a lifting lug on each flange. The lifting lugs make the sensor easier to handle when it is transported and lowered into place at the installation site.

Flanged ½- to 4-inch sensors do not have lugs. They 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.
