Fig. 1: Mounting Deltabar S, FMD78 with diaphragm seals and capillary, recommended mounting for vacuum
applications: mount pressure transmitter below the lowest diaphragm seal!
3.3.1 Vacuum application (FMD78)
For applications under vacuum, Endress+Hauser recommends mounting the pressure
transmitter underneath the lower diaphragm seal. A vacuum load of the diaphragm seal caused
by the presence of filling oil in the capillaries is hereby prevented.
When the pressure transmitter is mounted above the lower diaphragm seal, the maximum
height difference H1 in accordance with the illustration below on the left must not be exceeded.
The maximum height difference is dependent on the density of the filling oil and the smallest
ever pressure that is permitted to occur at the diaphragm seal on the positive side (empty
container), see illustration below, on the right.
