How to install various pressure transmitters
Thread Content
Yesterday, a follower on TikTok asked me how to install a level gauge of the single-flange type with a capillary. After talking with him, it seemed he had no prior experience with such instruments, so he asked about how to fix the gauge’s panel in place He later sent me this picture, asking how to install this product I sent him a type of gauge mounting bracket with clamps, and I also found a video online showing how to mount gauges in a similar way. Tell him to choose different mounting brackets depending on the on-site conditions. I don’t know if he finally understood it or not. If anyone has pictures or videos of various instruments being installed on-site, they can share them below, so that we can help each other in the future.
The installation of pressure transmitters involves the following key steps: 1. Installation location: Select an appropriate location to ensure that the sensor can accurately measure the pressure of the medium. If it is for level measurement, it should be installed at an appropriate position in the container. 2. Installation methods: Common installation methods for pressure transmitters include 2-inch pipe installation, panel mounting, and bracket mounting. Choose the fixing method according to the specific circumstances. Level gauges with a single flange and capillary are generally installed using brackets or plates. 3. Fix the instrument: Use brackets or clamps to secure the instrument to ensure it remains stable. For gauges with panels, they need to be secured to a bracket or mounting plate using screws, in accordance with the fixing holes located at the back of the gauge. 4. Connect the capillary: For transmitters equipped with a capillary, one end of the capillary needs to be connected to the measurement point, and the other end to the transmitter. 5. Wiring: Connect the electrical connections of the transmitter in accordance with the electrical wiring diagram to ensure proper power supply and signal transmission. 6. Zero calibration: Perform zero calibration after installation to ensure the accuracy of measurements. For those who have no prior experience, they can refer to the installation guide included with the device, or look for relevant installation videos to learn*. Sharing and asking about installation experiences on social media platforms and professional forums is also a good way to obtain information. For specific installation images and videos, you can search for relevant resources on professional forums, technical discussion groups, or video tutorial websites. .
Generally, the manufacturer provides the clamps when the product leaves the factory. The mounting bracket is fabricated on-site; once the bracket is secured, the gauge head is placed on it. If no such bracket is available, it is fabricated on-site as well, and then secured in place.
One can make and install the column brackets by oneself.
