Issues with the sensor connectors of Rosemount’s 8800 series vortex flowmeters
Thread Content
When disassembling vortex flow meter heads, the connectors often break; I was wondering if anyone has encountered this issue
Just install and debug it – why would you take it apart?
Generally speaking, it’s not easy to break; the sensor cable is screwed in
Yes, it breaks easily. For high-end imported products, as long as there are no human-induced damages or external factors, such issues should not occur at all. Not to mention, it happened multiple times and in various places!
Well, if you follow the instructions, it’s not easy to break. First of all, this is a separate transmitter and a sensor; generally, these two aren’t connected directly, right? Secondly, the sensors are all located inside a bracket; when you remove the transmitter, lifting it up by two or three centimeters is no problem, and then you can use a wrench to unscrew it quickly. Finally, when moving the unit as a whole, be sure not to lift it from the transmitter side, as that is not the part designed to bear weight; you must lift the measurement tube section instead.
Coaxial cables are indeed relatively fragile, so one just needs to be careful during installation and removal. .
