4.2 Piping ST 3000 Transmitter, Continued
ATTENTION
Care must be taken when installing transmitters on hot processes. The
operating temperature limits for the device (as listed in Table 6) must
not be exceeded. Impulse piping may be used to reduce the temperature
of the process that comes into contact with the transmitter meter body.
As a general rule there is a 56 degree C drop (100 °F) in the temperature
of the process for every foot (305 mm) of ½ inch uninsulated piping.
Process connections
Table 12 describes typical process connections for a given type of
transmitter.
