2.1Operation preparation
1. These instructions refer to details and symbols identified on Rosemount drawing
D-08248 (see Appendix C: Engineering drawings). This operation instruction
procedure applies to T-slot design transducer mount assemblies on Rosemount
SeniorSonic™ ultrasonic meters only using an extractor tool. The extractor tool uses
line pressure to extract the transducer assembly (J).
2. If line pressure is vented from the meter, the transducer can be removed without
using the extractor tool. See the Rosemount Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter Reference,
Installation and Operation Manual, for T-slot transducer assembly (J) replacement
with line pressure vented.
3. Always use protective equipment. Proper protective equipment in accordance with
the customer’s regulations and site standard operating procedures is required prior
to operation of the extractor tool. A thorough job safety analysis should be done for
all procedures. Protective equipment may include the following:
• eyewear
• footwear
• hearing protection
• gloves
• hard hat

April 2022 00809-0200-3417
WARNING
EQUIPMENT HANDLING AND LIFTING HAZARD
Extractor tool weight and length and the varying pipeline height requires two
service technicians to safely handle and install the equipment.
Pipeline installations may be higher or lower than waist level or in confined spaces.
Proper scaffolding, provided by the customer, is required to position the
technicians at waist level with extractor tool.
Failure to use recommended number of personnel when installing, handling, lifting,
bending and twisting could cause the tool to become unstable or dropped and
result in injury to personnel or cause damage to the equipment.
CAUTION
NOISE HAZARD - HEARING LOSS
Uncontrolled release of pressurized product may cause hearing discomfort. Wear
proper ear protection when operating the extractor tool.
Failure to do so can result in injury.
WARNING
CUTTING OR CRUSHING HAZARD
Do not permanently attach any tool (e.g., a ratchet) to the extractor tool. High line
pressure increases the velocity of moving parts which may cut or crush extremities.
Failure to keep extremities clear of the moving parts (e.g., pistons or piston rod)
may cause injury to personnel.
4. Oral communication must be established prior to depressurizing the line, if
required.
WARNING
NOISE HAZARD - ORAL COMMUNICATION
Release of pressurized product makes communication with operators and service
technicians difficult.
Operators must develop a method of communication prior to using the extractor
tool. Failure to do so can result in injury.
5. Enough lighting to see the gauge is required prior to extractor tool usage.
6. Allow at least eight (8) feet of clearance to assemble and install the extractor tool.

CAUTION
TRIPPING HAZARD
Clear all obstacles or obstructions from the work area when transporting, handling,
installing or removing the extractor tool.
Failure to keep work areas clear of obstacles and obstructions could result in injury
or equipment damage.
2.2Part replacement notes
1. The following instructions are for removal and installation of one transducer
assembly (J). Repeat the following steps for each transducer assembly removal or
installation
2. For accurate operation, do not exchange any transducer assembly part or parts
from the meter chord path designated by the Rosemount manufacturing facility.
See Notes 4, 5 and 6 below for further instruction.
3. Transducer assemblies (J) in good working condition can be removed, cleaned and
reinstalled.
4. When a transducer assembly (J) is replaced, it is necessary for accurate operation to
modify the calibration parameters for the chord in which the transducer assembly
exchange occurred. This means modifying the ultrasonic meter electronics Modbus
registers for "L", Average Delay Time and Delta Delay Time for the affected chord.
5. Transducer assemblies (J) are always replaced in pairs on any given chord path. The
Average Delay Time and Delta Delay Time are included on a Calibration Sheet
provided with each transducer assembly (J) pair. The length of each transducer
assembly (J) is also provided on the Calibration Sheet, as well as, etched on the
transducer assembly external surface. See Note 7 and Note 8 below for further
instructions.
6. When a transducer stalk assembly (D) and/or transducer holder (K) is replaced, it is
necessary for accurate operation to modify the calibration parameters for the chord
in which the transducer parts exchange occurred. This means modifying the
ultrasonic meter electronics Modbus1 registers for "L" for the affected chord. The
length of each transducer stalk assembly (D) and transducer holder (K) is etched on
the part’s exterior surface. See Note 7 and Note 8 below for further instructions.
7. The value "L" is determined by adding the length of the meter housing chord to the
lengths of the transducer mounts (E) and subtracting the lengths of the transducer
assemblies (J), transducer stalk assemblies (D) [if fitted] and transducer holders (K).
The length of the meter housing chord paths and transducer mounts (E) are given
on the original calibration sheet provided with the ultrasonic meter. The length of
each transducer mount (E) is marked on the rim of the part.
8. Transducer stalk assemblies (D) are available in two inch increments of length. The
style of each part is identified by the markings on the exterior surface. Example:
STYLE - S2, STYLE - S4, STYLE - S6...etc. Transducer holders (K) are available in two
lengths H1 and H2. The H2 stalk is one inch longer than the H1 stalk. By design each
ultrasonic meter chord path has been fitted with the appropriate style of transducer
Rosemount Split Clamp Extractor Tool15

stalk assembly (D) and transducer holder (K) best suited for that transducer
location. Some transducer locations do not require a transducer stalk assembly (D).
In these cases the transducer assembly (J) is connected directly to the transducer
holder (K). When replacing a transducer stalk assembly (D) and/or transducer
holder (K) it is important for accurate operation that the exact replacement style be
used.
9. The electrical circuits connecting the ultrasonic meter transducers (J) to the
ultrasonic meter electronics are intrinsically safe circuits. This feature allows these
circuits to be safely disconnected and connected in a hazardous atmosphere
without the need to disconnect power to the ultrasonic meter electronics. If the
meter has more than one pair of transducers, meter operation will only be slightly
impaired by the disruption of one pair of transducers at a time. Flow and flow
measurement can continue during extractor tool operation.

WARNING
LEAKAGE HAZARD
If a leak is detected, immediately stop and depressurize the extractor tool as
described above.
Failure to repair all leaks could result in personal injury from explosive forces
or asphyxiation.
e. Repair the leaking joint, close the lubricator chamber vent valve (R) and
repressurize the lubricator chamber as described above.
f. Adjust the pressure on the extractor tool piston assembly (P) to exceed the
force of line pressure exerted on the extractor rod (N). Refer to Table A-1
piston and line pressure chart. To do this,
• Slowly rotate the pressure regulator (V) adjustment screw in a clockwise
direction.
• Monitor the line pressure indicated on the lubricator chamber pressure
gauge (T).
• Continue turning the adjustment screw until the extractor tool piston
assembly (P) pressure indicates the line pressure shown in Table A-1.
• The outside surface of the piston assembly (P) cylinder lists a
corresponding piston pressure chart for the line pressure measured on
the lubricator chamber pressure gauge (T).
g. Using an open end 1-¼” wrench on the hex of the lubricator chamber
extractor rod (N), fully unscrew the transducer holder (K) from transducer
mount (E). As the extractor rod (N) is rotated in the counter-clockwise
direction watch for lateral movement of the extractor rod (N). When the
lateral movement no longer occurs the transducer holder (K) is completely
free of the transducer mount (E).
h. Reduce the pressure of the extractor tool piston assembly (P) by fully
unscrewing (counter-clockwise) the adjustment screw of the pressure
regulator (V) until loose. The piston orifice fitting (Y) will slowly allow
pressure to vent from the extractor tool piston assembly (P) causing the
extractor rod (N) to slowly retract to a fully retracted position which is
indicated by the visibility of a mark on the extractor rod (N) at the end of the
lubricator chamber assembly (M). If the extractor rod (N) becomes jammed,
which may be indicated by the stopping of the movement of the extractor
rod (N) before the piston is fully retracted, verify that the extractor tool valve
assembly is in the full open position.
Important
The extractor tool is designed with a shear pin safety device intended to
shear off if the transducer holder is frozen or galled in place. If the shear pin is
sheared off, stop the extraction procedure and blow the line down.
i. Verify all pressure has been vented from the extractor tool piston assembly
(P) by reading the piston pressure gauge (U). Do not proceed until piston
Rosemount Split Clamp Extractor Tool23

April 2022 00809-0200-3417
pressure gauge (U) indicates zero pressure, and the extractor rod has
stopped moving.
WARNING
INHALATION HAZARD
Escaping gases released when line is vented may be toxic. Do not inhale the
gases vented to the atmosphere from the pipeline. Do not position yourself
directly in front of vented gases.
Failure to avoid inhaling vented gases may result in injury.
j. Verify that the mark on the extractor rod (N) is visible at the packing gland
end of the lubricator chamber assembly (M). Do not proceed until the
extractor rod (N) is fully retracted to avoid possible transducer assembly (J)
damage by closing the extractor tool valve assembly (H) with the transducer
assembly (J) within the ball of the valve.
k. Close the extractor tool valve assembly (H). The valve handle will
automatically lock the valve in the closed position. If the valve will not close,
the transducer assembly (J) may not be fully retracted. See Step f above.
l. Fully close the ultrasonic meter housing line pressure valve (Q) and vent all
pressure from the lubricator chamber assembly (M) by opening the
lubricator chamber vent valve (R). The lubricator chamber pressure gauge (T)
should indicate zero pressure.
m. To check the sealing integrity of the extractor tool valve assembly (H), close
the lubricator chamber vent valve (R). Wait several minutes and observe
lubricator chamber pressure gauge (T). If zero pressure is indicated by the
gauge, this confirms that sealing is successful. Open the lubricator chamber
vent valve (R).
WARNING
SEALING HAZARD
If the lubricator chamber pressure gauge (T) indicates pressure in the lubricator
chamber assembly (M) after a period of time, the extractor tool valve assembly (H)
seals may be leaking. If this is observed proceed to Steps to remove a transducer
assembly from a meter while the meter is under line pressure, Step 1A) of the
instructions “Steps to install a transducer assembly while the meter is under line
pressure” and re-install the transducer holder (K).
Failure to repair all leaks could result in personal injury from explosive forces or
asphyxiation.
a. Remove the meter housing quick connect stem and reducer if it was
required. Return the parts to the tool kit.

5Installing a transducer assembly
5.1Installing a transducer assembly while the
meter is under line pressure
a. Review the notes in Part replacement notes at the beginning of this
procedure for instructions on replacement of transducer assemblies (J) and
other mounting parts.
b. Clean the transducer assembly (J), transducer stalk assembly (D), if fitted,
and the transducer holder (K). Take particular care to clean the transducer
holder (K) threads. Replace the O-ring seals on the transducer holder (K).
c. Clean, inspect and replace as needed, the O-ring seal on the male connector
end of the transducer assembly (J).
d. Apply a small amount of valve lubricant or other suitable grease to the O-ring
seal on the male connector end of the transducer assembly (J).
e. Align the slot on the male connector end of the transducer assembly (J) with
the pin within the mating connector female end of the transducer stalk
assembly (D), or the transducer holder (K). Press the two parts together.
Equally tighten the three set screws (W) on the transducer stalk assembly
(D), or the transducer holder (K) securing the transducer assembly (J) in
place.
f. With the extension (L) protruding from the flange end of the lubricator
chamber assembly (M) install the transducer holder (K) by engaging the T on
the extension (L) with the T-slot on the transducer holder (K). Once the
connection has been made, retract the extractor rod (N) enough so the T-slot
joint is inside the bore of the lubricator chamber assembly (M). This secures
the attachment.
g. Apply an ample amount of anti-seize compound to the threads of the
transducer holder (K). Apply a small amount of valve lubricant or other
suitable grease to the O-rings of the transducer holder (K).
a. Fully retract the extractor rod (N) within the lubricator chamber assembly
(M). Confirmation of full retraction is indicated by a mark on the extractor
rod (N) at the end of the lubricator chamber assembly (M). When this mark is
visible the extractor rod (N) is fully retracted.
b. Clean the lubricator chamber assembly (M) end flange sealing face. Clean the
extractor tool valve assembly (H) flange sealing face. Apply a small amount of
valve lubricant or other suitable grease to the O-ring seal on the flange end of
the lubricator chamber assembly (M).

c. Rotate and align the lubricator chamber assembly (M) flange to the extractor
tool valve assembly (H) flange and attach with four cap screws (Z). Securely
tighten all cap screws (Z) evenly, keeping the faces of both flanges parallel.
Minimize the rotation of the extractor tool assembly during screw tightening.
d. Align the extractor rod (N) into the center hole of the piston of the extractor
tool piston assembly (P). The piston should be fully retracted inside the
extractor tool piston assembly (P).
Important
If the piston is not fully retracted, use a long rod or dowel to force the piston
back into the extractor tool piston assembly (P). During this process the air
within the piston cylinder must be vented through the piston orifice fitting
(Y) so movement will be slow.
e. Attach the extractor tool piston assembly (P) to the lubricator chamber
assembly (M) by aligning the extractor tool piston assembly (P) end bolts
with the lubricator chamber assembly (M) flange bolt holes. Install and
equally tighten the four nuts (X). Minimize the rotation of the extractor
assembly during nut tightening.
f. Connect the quick connect body (BB) on the end of the low pressure hose
attached to the extractor tool piston assembly (P) to the quick connect stem
(DD) on the low pressure (secondary) port of the pressure regulator (V).
g. Ensure that the pressure regulator (V) adjustment screw is fully loosened
(counterclockwise).
h. Close the lubricator chamber vent valve (R). The ultrasonic meter housing
line pressure valve (Q) and extractor tool valve assembly (H) are to remain
closed.
i. Connect the quick connect body (AA) on one end of the high pressure hose
to the quick connect stem (CC) on the high pressure (primary) port of the
pressure regulator (V).
3. Refer to Drawing D-08248 (Appendix C: Engineering drawings).
a. Connect the quick connect body (AA) on the remaining end of the high
pressure hose to the quick connect stem (FF) on the ultrasonic meter
housing line pressure valve (Q). Customer Supplied - (Refer to Appendix C:
Engineering drawings, Drawings, note Q typical). Refer to Drawing CE-21063
DETAIL “D” (Appendix C: Engineering drawings)
WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD
The ultrasonic meter housing line pressure valve (Q) is to remain closed until
both ends of the high pressure hose are securely connected.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury from explosive forces or
sudden whipping of the line.
28Emerson.com/Rosemount
Operations ManualInstalling a transducer assembly
00809-0200-3417April 2022
b. Open the ultrasonic meter housing line pressure valve (Q) to pressurize the
lubricator chamber to line pressure. Observe line pressure on lubricator
chamber pressure gauge (T) to ensure the lubricator chamber reaches line
pressure.
c. Check all joints of the ultrasonic meter housing line pressure valve (Q), high
pressure hose fittings, lubricator chamber assembly (M) and extractor tool
valve assembly (H) for leaks with a leak detecting solution. If any leaks occur
depressurize the extractor tool by closing ultrasonic meter housing line
pressure valve (Q) and open the lubricator chamber vent valve (R). Repair the
leaking joint, close the lubricator chamber vent valve (R) and repressurize the
lubricator chamber as described above.
d. Open the extractor tool valve assembly (H) by depressing the valve close stop
button (S) while moving the handle to the full open position. The valve is full
open when the valve handle contacts the valve handle stop peg set screw
(HH).
e. Adjust the pressure on the extractor tool piston assembly (P) to slightly
exceed the force of line pressure acting on the extractor rod (N).
Slowly rotate the pressure regulator (V) adjustment screw in a clockwise
direction until the extractor tool piston assembly (P) pressure, as shown on
the piston pressure gauge (U), indicates line pressure greater than the piston
pressure as shown in Table A-1.
For the line pressure indicated on the lubricator chamber pressure gauge (T),
refer to the Extractor Tool Piston Pressure chart or Table A-1. Once the
pressure given in the chart is achieved, slowly turn the adjustment screw in
the clockwise direction a little farther to allow the force of the pressure to
overcome the friction of the extractor rod (N) seals.
When the piston pressure force exceeds all of the forces acting on the
extractor rod (N), the extra ctor rod (N) will begin to slowly move towards the
ultrasonic meter. Continue until the transducer holder (K) contacts the
transducer mount (E) flange.
f. The hex nut on the extractor rod (N) should be accessible in the open space
between the lubricator chamber assembly (M) and the extractor tool piston
assembly (P). If this does not occur, retract the rod by loosening the pressure
regulator (V) adjustment screw to retract the rod (N).
g. Ensure that the valve (H) is fully open, then repeat this step. When the
transducer holder (K) contacts the transducer mount (F) the threads of the
two parts should automatically align with each other and the rod (N) hex will
be accessible in the open space between the lubricator chamber (M) and
piston assembly (P). Use a 1-¼” open end wrench on the hex of the extractor
rod (N) to screw the transducer holder (K) into the transducer mount (E).
As the extractor rod (N) is rotated in the clockwise direction watch for lateral
movement of the extractor rod (N). The lateral movement will confirm
thread engagement. When tight, the transducer holder (K) is completely
threaded onto the transducer mount (E).
Important
The threaded joint of the T-slot transducer holder (K) to the transducer
mount (E) does not have a recommended torque requirement. The

transducer holder (K) is to be tightened sufficiently so the shoulder on the
transducer holder (K) is fully seated.
CAUTION
EXCESSIVE TORQUE HAZARD
Do not exceed 300 foot-pounds of torque on the extractor rod or the rod nut.
Excessive torque will shear the extractor rod hex nut pin.
Excessive torque applied during operation may cause equipment damage.
h. Vent the pressure of the extractor tool piston assembly (P) by fully
unscrewing (counterclockwise) the adjustment screw of the pressure
regulator (V) until loose. The piston orifice fitting (Y) will slowly allow
pressure to vent from the extractor tool piston assembly (P). The piston
pressure gauge (U) should indicate zero pressure.
i. Fully close the ultrasonic meter housing line pressure valve (Q) and vent all
pressure from the lubricator chamber assembly (M) by opening the
lubricator chamber vent valve (R). The lubricator chamber pressure gauge (T)
should indicate zero pressure.
j. To check the sealing integrity of the transducer holder (K), close the
lubricator chamber vent valve (R). Wait several minutes and observe
lubricator chamber pressure gauge (T). If no pressure is indicated by the
gauge, sealing is successful. Open the lubricator chamber vent valve (R).
k. If the lubricator chamber pressure gauge (T) indicates pressure in the
lubricator chamber assembly (M) some time after the lubricator chamber
vent valve (R) has been opened to vent pressure and again closed, then the
transducer holder (K) seals may not be sealing line pressure.
WARNING
SEALING HAZARD
If the transducer holder does not seal, repeat Steps to remove a transducer
assembly from a meter while the meter is under line pressure, Step 7, to
remove the transducer holder (K) and replace the seals and/or take other
actions as needed to correct the problem.
Failure to seal line pressure could result in possible personal injury.
4. Refer to Drawing D-08248 (Appendix C: Engineering drawings).
a. Remove the meter housing quick connect stem and the reducer if it was
required. Return the parts to the tool kit.
b. Disconnect the high pressure hose quick connect body (AA) from the
ultrasonic meter housing line pressure valve (Q) quick connect stem (FF) and
the other high pressure hose quick connect body (AA) from the quick
connect stem (CC) on the pressure regulator (V) high pressure (primary)
port. Remove and store the high pressure hose.

c. Disconnect the low pressure hose quick connect body (BB) from the quick
connect stem (DD) on the pressure regulator (V) low pressure (secondary)
port. Wrap the low pressure hose around the extractor tool piston assembly
(P) and connect the low pressure hose quick connect body (BB) to the quick
connect stem (EE) located on the extractor tool piston assembly (P) flange
for storage.
a. Loosen and remove the four extractor tool piston assembly (P) nuts (X).
Minimize the rotation of the extractor tool assembly during nut removal. Pull
the extractor tool piston assembly (P) away from the lubricator chamber
assembly (M). For safe keeping reinstall the nuts (X) after removal. Remove
and store the extractor tool piston assembly (P).
b. Loosen and remove all four of the lubricator chamber cap screws (Z) on the
lubricator chamber assembly (M) flange from the extractor tool valve
assembly (H) flange. Minimize the rotation of the extractor tool assembly
during screw removal. Pull on the lubricator chamber assembly (M) to
disconnect the lubricator chamber assembly (M) flange from the extractor
tool valve assembly (H) flange. During disassembly disconnect the extractor
rod (N) end T from the end of the extension (L) T-slot by extending the
extractor rod (N) from the end of the lubricator chamber assembly (M).
Remove and store the lubricator chamber assembly (M).
Loosen and remove the four split clamp screws (G). Remove both halves of the split
clamp (F) and store. When the split clamp (F) is fully disconnected from the
transducer mount (E) pull the extractor tool valve assembly (H) away from the
transducer mount (E). When free of the transducer mount (E) continue to pull the
extractor tool valve assembly (H) while guiding the extension (L) through the bore
of the valve. Remove and store the extractor tool valve assembly (H).
a. Use a leak detecting fluid around the joint of the transducer holder (K) to
transducer mount (E) joint to check the seals of the transducer holder (K).
WARNING
LEAKAGE HAZARD
If a leak is detected, repeat the steps to remove a transducer assembly while
the meter is under line pressure (see Steps to remove a transducer assembly
from a meter while the meter is under line pressure).
Failure to repair the leaking transducer holder (K) seals could cause exposure
to escaping gases or an explosion resulting in possible personal injury.
