4.1 Mounting ST 3000 Transmitter, Continued

Remote seal mounting

ATTENTION

Use the procedure in Table 10 to mount a remote diaphragm seal transmitter model. Figure 10 shows a typical installation for a remote diaphragm seal transmitter for reference.

Mount the transmitter flanges within the limits stated here for the given fill-fluid in the capillary tubes with a tank at one atmosphere.

IF the fill fluid is…

THEN mount the flange…

 

 

Silicone DC 200 Oil

no greater than 22 feet (6.7 meters)

 

below the transmitter

Silicone DC 704 Oil

no greater than 19 feet (5.8 meters)

 

below the transmitter

Chlorotrifluorethylene

no greater than 11 feet (3.4 meters)

 

below the transmitter.

NOTE: The combination of tank vacuum and high pressure capillary

 

 

 

head effect should not exceed 9 psi (300 mm Hg) absolute.
