Note
The required bolt load for sealing the gasket joint is affected by several factors,
including operating pressure, gasket material, width, and condition. A number of
factors also affect the actual bolt load resulting from a measured torque,
including condition of bolt threads, friction between the nut head and the flange,
and parallelism of the flanges. Due to these application-dependent factors, the
required torque for each application may be different. Follow the guidelines
outlined in ASME PCC-1 for proper bolt tightening. Make sure the flowmeter is
centered between flanges of the same nominal size as the flowmeter.
2.2
Install remote electronics
If you order one of the remote electronics options (options R10, R20, R30, or
RXX), the flowmeter assembly ships in two parts:
1. The meter body with an adapter installed in the support tube and an
interconnecting coaxial cable attached to it.
2. The electronics housing installed on a mounting bracket.
Refer to Figure 2-7 and these steps to connect the loose end of the coaxial
cable to the electronics housing.
