1. Introduction

To give the best performance, KROHNE pressure transmitters must be installed in a correct way. Important instructions should be taken into consideration, like the inlet and outlet length, pipe to be completely filled, direction of the flow, etc. Depending on the measuring principle of each device, the guidelines will differ. In this article we will explain the installation instructions for Pressure Transmitter OPTIBAR 5060.

The article cover the following topics:

• Measurement setup for measuring gases
• Measurement setup for measuring steam
• Measurement setup for measuring fluids
• Measurement setup for level measurement

2. Measurement Setup for Measuring Fluids

• The pressure transmitter must be mounted below the measuring point.

3. Measurement Setup for Measuring the Process Pressure of Gases

The pressure transmitter must be mounted above the measuring point.

4. Measurement Setup for Measuring Steam

• The pressure transmitter should be connected via a syphon to protect the measuring cell from non-permitted high temperatures.
• Siphon to be kept free of insulation.
• When using super heated steam, the siphon must be filled with water prior to start-up.
