Rosemount 8732/8700 Series
STEP 1: PRE-INSTALLATION
Before installing the Rosemount 8732 Magnetic Flowmeter
Transmitter, there are several pre-installation steps that should be
completed to make the installation process easier:
• Identify the options and configurations that apply to
your application
• Set the hardware switches if necessary
• Consider mechanical, electrical, and environmental requirements
Mechanical Considerations
The mounting site for the Rosemount 8732 transmitter should provide
enough room for secure mounting, easy access to conduit ports, full
opening of the transmitter covers, and easy readability of the LOI
screen (see Figure 1). The transmitter should be mounted in an
upright position.
If the Rosemount 8732 is mounted separately from the flowtube, it
is not subject to limitations that might apply to the flowtube.
WARNING
The flowtube liner is vulnerable to handling damage. Never place
anything through the flowtube for the purpose of lifting or gaining
leverage. Liner damage can render the flowtube useless.
To avoid possible damage to the flowtube liner ends, do not use
metallic or spiral-wound gaskets. If frequent removal is anticipated,
take precautions to protect the liner ends. Short spool pieces
attached to the flowtube ends are often used for protection.
Correct flange bolt tightening is crucial for proper flowtube operation
and life. All bolts must be tightened in the proper sequence to the
specified torque limits. Failure to observe these instructions could
result in severe damage to the flowtube lining and possible flowtube
replacement.
