6.1 Mechanical connection
■
In accordance with the general technical regulations for pressure gauges (e.g.
EN 837-2 “Selection and installation recommendations for pressure gauges”).
■
Mounting of the pressure connections according to axed symbols, ⊕ high
pressure, ⊖ low pressure
■
Mounting by means of:
- rigid measuring line or
- wall mounting with available mounting links
■
Process connections 2 x G 1/4 female, lower mount (LM), in-line, centre
distance 26 mm, operating position NL 90 (nominal position) per DIN 16257
(i.e. vertical dial), design the threads of the connection shanks in accordance
with EN 837-3 (section 7.3.2).
■
Prior to the installation of the instrument, clean the measuring lines thoroughly
by tapping and blowing or ushing.
■
Protect measuring instruments from contamination and high temperature
changes!
■
The pressure gauge must be mounted free from vibration and should be
aligned so that it is easy to read. It is recommended that an isolation device is
interposed between the pressure tapping point and the instrument, which will
enable the replacement of the instrument and a zero point check while the plant
is running. The instruments should be protected against coarse dirt and wide
uctuations in ambient temperature.
■
For sealing the connections, use at gaskets, lens-type sealing rings or WIKA
prole sealings. In order to orientate the gauge so that the on-site display can
be read as well as possible, a connection with clamp socket or union nut should
be used. When screwing on and unscrewing the instruments they should not be
gripped by the case, but rather only on the spanner ats of the connection!
Wall mounting
Mounting using three integrally cast mounting lugs
