3.4.7 Remote Diaphragm Seal Mounting Information
The combination of tank vacuum and high pressure capillary head effect should not
exceed nine (9) psi (300 mmHg) absolute. For insulated tanks, be sure to remove enough
insulation to accommodate the flange extension. The end user is responsible for supplying a
flange gasket and mounting hardware suitable for the service condition of the Transmitter.
Mount the Transmitter flanges within the limits in for the fill fluid in the capillary tubes,
with a tank at one (1) atmosphere.
