For a 3-A marked connection with milk thread fittings per DIN 11851, suitable profile
seals must be used (e.g. SKS Komponenten BV or Kieselmann GmbH).
Note:
To maintain the 3-A certification, one of the 3-A approved process connections must be
used. These are marked with the logo in the data sheet.
5.6.2 Compliance with EHEDG conformity
For an EHEDG-compliant connection, seals in accordance with the current EHEDG
policy document must be used.

Mount the electrical thermometer, including the thermowell/protection tube, with minimal
dead space and able to be cleaned easily.
■
The mounting position of the electrical thermometers, including thermowell/
protection tube, welding socket and instrumentation T-piece should be designed to
be self-draining.
■
The mounting position must not form a draining point or cause a basin to be formed.
■
With the process connection via an instrumentation T-piece, the length, L, of the branch
(connection to the measuring instrument) must not be longer than the inner diameter, D,
of the branch (rule: L ≤ D).
■
For protection tubes reaching into the branch, this diameter, d, shall be subtracted from
the inner diameter of the branch, D, (rule: L ≤ D - d).
