Installation
Nominal position acc. EN 873-3 / 9.6.6 figure 7: 0° or 90°
Pressure connector bottom or rearside
Permissible vibration load at the mounting point
The instrument should always be installed in locations free of vibration.
If necessary, it is possible to isolate the instrument from the mounting
point by installing a flexible connection line between the measuring
point and the pressure gauge and mounting the instrument on a
suitable bracket.
If this is not possible, the following limit values must not be exceeded:
Frequency range
Accelaration
Test connector
At certain use cases (e.g. steam vessels) isolating devices have to
have a test connector, so that the instrument can be checked without
dismounting.
Mounting provisions
If the line for the pressure gauge is not rigid enough for vibration-free
installation, fasten the instrument using appropriate fastening elements for
wall and / or pipe mounting, and, if necessary, by means of a capillary line.
Measuring system damping
If it is not possible to avoid vibration by means of appropriate mounting,
use pressure gauges with liquid filling.
