2.4.7: Installation on a metal pipe using SUS grounding
ring material
The installation method described in this section is for installation on a metal pipe
using SUS grounding ring material. For the installation method corresponding to any
other combination of materials, refer to Table 2-5 on page 2-12.
For installation using SUS grounding ring material, Azbil Corporation recommends
non-rubber gaskets such as joint sheet or PTFE. Although rubber gaskets can be used,
it is not possible to reduce the fastening torque. See page 2-17 for installation using
rubber gaskets.
CAUTION
The use of rubber gaskets is not recommended and can cause leakage.
To install a wafer detector on a metal pipe using SUS grounding ring material
and a specied torque:
• Install the detector as shown in the following illustration. The torque level for
tightening the bolts is not related to the gasket material.
See Table 2-1 on page 2-7 for the appropriate torque.
See Table 2-2 on page 2-10 for the inner diameter of the gasket.
