MOUNTING ADAPTER

The mounting adapter consists of a standard ANSI flange (150 psi stainless

steel) with a 2” (76.2mm) stainless steel ferrule welded to it. Refer to the

mounting adapter drawing in the drawing section of this manual. Standard

mounting adapters are available for pipe sizes of 2” (50.8mm) through 6”

(152.4mm). Larger adapters or custom adapters are available on special order.

The mounting adapter includes a clamp and a sealing cap that is permanently

attached to the mounting adapter by a chain. The purpose of the sealing cap is

to cover the hole in the mounting adapter if the MAC155 Probe is removed. The

clamp is used to hold either the sealing cap or the MAC155 Probe in place. A

Teflon gasket is also provided with the mounting adapter. This gasket goes

between the MAC155 Probe and the ferrule on the mounting adapter. The

gasket is also used with the sealing cap if the MAC155 Probe is removed.

The mounting adapter is bolted to the flange on the instrumentation port

using an appropriate gasket to assure a leak proof connection. The sealing cap

should be left in place on the mounting adapter during installation to protect the

ferrule from dents which might prevent a perfect seal. The sealing cap should be

left in place until the MAC155 Probe is to be inserted into the port.
