5.10.1 NMT81 Installation
Confirm that the size of the nozzle and the flange is matched prior to mounting NMT81 on
the tank. The flange size and the rating of NMT81 vary depending on the customer’s
specifications.
• Check the flange size of NMT81.
• Mount the flange on the top of the tank. The deviation of the flange from the horizontal
plane should not exceed +/- 1 degree.
• Install NMT81 at least 300 mm (11.81 in) or API 7: 1 000 mm (39.4 in) away from the
wall. This will ensure that the temperature measurement is not affected by the tank's
ambient or wall temperature.
