4.2 Mounting the SITRANS TS500
Requirement
The device is suitable for the process with regard to the process connection, media compatibility,
temperature resistance and measuring range. See section Technical data (Page 127).
Procedure
1. You prevent faults caused by the heat dissipation in non-representative arrangements by
observing the following basic rules:
2. Select an optimal immersion depth. Estimate the immersion depth using the formulas listed
in Estimation of immersion depth (Page 140).
If permitted by the ow velocity, a sensor arrangement between one-third and one-half of
the conduit diameter is recommended.
3. If the process load at the sensor pocket permits the exposition, select a measurement
location with greater ow velocity.
4. Ensure that there is sucient thermal insulation of the external components of the
thermometer.
5. Ensure that external parts have small surfaces.
6. Select the optimum mounting position for the process in question.
