6.3 Mounting cladded flanges
For cladded flanges of FMR53, observe the following:
• Use flange screws according to the number of flange holes.
• Tighten the screws with the required torque (see table).
• Retighten the screws after 24 hours or after the first temperature cycle.
• Depending on process pressure and process temperature check and retighten the
screws at regular intervals.
Usually, the PTFE flange cladding also serves as a seal between the nozzle and the device
flange.

6.4.1 Rod antenna (FMR53)
Alignment
• Align the antenna vertically to the product surface.
• A marking at the flange (somwhere between the flange holes) or the boss enables
alignment of the antenna. This marking must be aligned towards the tank wall as well as
possible.
