Follow the steps below to install the HMP368 probe through a ball valve
assembly. After the installation, the probe should be sitting in the process
chamber or pipeline as shown in
Figure 16 on page 33 .
1. Shut down the process if the process pressure is more than 10 bars. If
the pressure is lower there is no need to shut down the process.
2. Close the ball valve.
3. Seal the threads on the fitting body; refer to Figure 14 on page 31 .
4. Attach the fitting body to the ball valve and tighten it.
5. Slide the clasp nut of the probe toward the filter, as far as it will go.
6. Insert the probe to the fitting body, and manually tighten the clasp nut
to the fitting body.
7. Open the ball valve.
8. Push the probe through the ball valve assembly into the process. If the
pressure is high, use the pressing handle that is provided with the
probe. If you push the probe hard without using the handle, you may
damage the cable.
Note that the probe must be pushed so deep that the filter is
completely inside the process flow.
9. Mark the fitting screw and the clasp nut.
10. Tighten the clasp nut with a fork spanner a further 50 ... 60º (ca. 1/6
turn). If you have a suitable torque spanner, tighten the nut to max 45
± 5 Nm (33 ± 4 ft-lbs). Refer to
Figure 15 on page 32 .
If you wish to remove the probe from the process, note that you have to pull
the probe out far enough. You cannot close the valve if the groove on the
probe body is not visible.
NOTE Take care not to tighten the clasp nut more than 60° to avoid difficulties
when opening it.
