INTRINSICALLY SAFE PRESSURE TRANSMITTER

W A R N I N G ! READ BEFORE INSTALLATION
Fluid hammer and surges can destroy any pressure transmitter and must always be avoided. A pressure snubber should be installed
to eliminate the damaging hammer effects. Fluid hammer occurs when a liquid flow is suddenly stopped, as with quick closing solenoid
valves. Surges occur when flow is suddenly begun, as when a pump is turned on at full power or a valve is quickly opened.
Barksdale pressure transmitters having a pressure range 2,000 psi and higher have a built in pressure surge protection in the input
port. The designis such that an orifice is made an integral part of the pressure port. Designed with the upstream side of the orifice as
a sharp corner, it acts as a very effective protection. Other orifice devices can be installed upstream of the pressure transmitter in the
piping system for extra protection where the system engineer requires it.
Liquid surges are particularly damaging to pressure transmitters if the pipe is originally empty. To avoid damaging surges, fluid lines
should remain full (if possible), pumps should be brought up to power slowly, and valves opened slowly. To avoid damage from both
fluid hammer and surges, a surge chamber should be installed, and a pressure snubber should be installed on every transmitter.
Symptoms of fluid hammer and surge’s damaging effects:
1. Pressure transmitter exhibits an output at zero pressure (large zero offset). If zero offset is less than 10% FS, user can usually
re-zero meter, install proper snubber and continue monitoring pressures.
2. Pressure transmitter output remains constant regardless of pressure.
3. In severe cases, there will be no output.
TORQUE REQUIREMENTS:
Apply pipe compound sparingly to male pipe threads only. Avoid pipe strain on Transmitter housing by properly supporting and
aligning piping.
Apply wrench to the hex flats of fittings only, then tighten the connection. Adequate support of piping and proper mounting of the
pressure transmitter should be made to avoid excessive shock and vibration.
TORQUE TO 125 - 150 pound inches.
