Rosemount 1153 Series D Alphaline Pressure Transmitters are designed for
precision pressure measurements in nuclear applications requiring reliable
performance and safety over a specified qualified life. These transmitters
were generically tested to the IEEE Std 323-1974 and IEEE Std 344-1975 per
the Qualification Test Report D8300040. The Rosemount 1153 Series D has
been qualification tested to environments typical of Pressurized Water
Reactors (PWR) under accident conditions. Stringent quality control during
the manufacturing process includes traceability of pressure retaining parts,
special nuclear cleaning, and hydrostatic testing.

Rosemount 1153 Transmitters are of a design unique to Class 1E nuclear
service while retaining the working concept and design parameters of the
Rosemount 1151 Series that have become a standard of reliable service.
Units are available in Absolute (A), Gage (G), Differential (D), and High-Line
Differential (H) configurations, with a variety of pressure range options (See
Table 6-1 on page 6-10). Figure 2-5 on page 2-7 shows transmitter
dimensional drawings.

GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS

Figure 2-1. Qualified Life vs.
Ambient Temperature.

The quality and accuracy of flow, level, or pressure measurement depends
largely on the proper installation of the transmitter and its associated impulse
piping and valves. For flow measurement, proper installation of the primary
measuring element is also critical to the accuracy of the measurement.
Transmitter installation should minimize the effects of temperature gradients
and temperature fluctuations, and avoid vibration and shock during normal
operation. Take care when designing the measurement to minimize the error
caused by incorrect installation. The ambient temperature of the transmitter
environment affects the qualified life of the transmitter (see Figure 2-1 on
page 2-1).

MECHANICAL
CONSIDERATIONS

This section contains information you should consider when preparing to
mount the transmitter. Read this section carefully before proceeding to the
mechanical installation procedure.

Mount the Rosemount 1153 Series D transmitter to a rigid support (a support
with a fundamental mechanical resonant frequency of 40 Hz or greater). A
mounting bracket included with the transmitter facilitates panel mounting.
Figure 2-4 on page 2-6 shows qualified transmitter mounting configurations.
The transmitter was seismic tested and qualified with the bracket mounted
using four

3

/8-in. diameter bolts. Orientation with respect to gravity is not
critical to qualification. However, if the transmitter is mounted with the flanges
in a horizontal position, rezero the transmitter to cancel the liquid head effect
caused by the difference in height of the process connections.

If you mount the transmitter to a non-rigid panel, ensure that seismic input to
the mounting bracket does not exceed qualification levels given in Rosemount
Report D8300040.

Process Connections Process tubing installation must prevent any added mechanical stress on the

transmitter under seismic disturbances. This may be done by using
stress-relief loops in the process tubing or by separately supporting the
process tubing close to the transmitter.

The process connections to the transmitter flanges were qualified with
tubing using compression fittings (Swagelok

®

). For options using 1/4–18 NPT

connections, the user assumes responsibility for qualifying the interface.

Transmitters with Flange Options A, D, H, J, L, or M are shipped with
Swagelok fittings for process connections. Included are front ferrule, rear
ferrule, and nut. Ensure that they are placed on the tubing with the orientation
and relative position shown in Detail A, Figure 2-5 on page 2-7.

Process tubing used is

3

/8-in. outside diameter, and of suitable thickness for

the pressure involved.

3

/8-in.

2-2

The Swagelok tube fittings come completely assembled and are ready for
immediate use. Do not disassemble them before use; because they may
become dirty or a foreign material get into the fitting and cause leaks. Insert
the tubing into the Swagelok tube fitting, making sure that the tubing rests
firmly on the shoulder of the fitting and that the nut is finger tight. Tighten the
nut one-and-one-quarter turns and it is ready for use. Do not overtighten.

The connections can be loosened and retightened 20–30 times without
compromising the leak-proof seal. To reconnect, insert the tubing with
pre-swaged ferrules into the fitting until the front ferrule sits in the fitting.
Tighten the nut by hand, then rotate one-quarter turn more or to the original
one-and-one-quarter tight position. Then snug it slightly with a wrench. For
more information regarding the use of Swagelok tube fittings, refer to:

Proper location of the transmitter with respect to the process tubing depends
on various process parameters. When determining the best location, consider
the following:

• Keep hot or corrosive fluids from contacting the transmitter.

• Prevent sediment from depositing in the impulse tubing.

• Ambient temperature gradients and fluctuations can result in erroneous
transmitter readings.

• Keep impulse tubing as short as possible.

• For differential transmitters, balance the liquid head on both legs of the
impulse tubing.

• For liquid flow or pressure measurements, make taps on the side of the
line to avoid sediment deposits, and mount the transmitter beside or
below the taps so gases vent into the process line (see Figure 2-6 on
page 2-8).

• For gas flow or pressure measurements, make taps on the top or side
of the line and mount the transmitter beside or above the taps so liquid
drains into the process line (see Figure 2-6 on page 2-8).

• For steam flow or pressure measurements, make taps on the side of
the line, and mount the transmitter below the taps so the impulse tubing
stays filled with condensate (See Figure 2-6 on page 2-8).

• For steam service, fill the lines with water to prevent steam from
contacting the transmitter. Condensate chambers are not necessary
since the volumetric displacement of the transmitter is negligible.

The piping between the process and the transmitter must transfer the
pressure measured at the process taps to the transmitter. Possible sources of
error in this pressure transfer are:

•Leaks.

• Friction loss (particularly if purging is used).

• Trapped gas in a liquid line or trapped liquid in a gas line (head error).

• Temperature-induced density variation between legs (head error), for
differential transmitters.

To minimize the possibility of errors, take the following precautions:

• Make impulse tubing as short as possible.

• Slope tubing at least one inch per foot up toward the process
connections for liquid and steam.

• Slope tubing at least one inch per foot down toward the process
connections for gas.

• Avoid high points in liquid lines and low points in gas lines.

• Use impulse tubing of sufficient diameter to avoid friction effects.

• Ensure that all gas is vented from liquid tubing legs.

• Ensure that impulse tubing is of adequate strength to be compatible
with anticipated pressures.

2-3

Rosemount 1153 Series D

For differential transmitters, also consider the following:

• Keep both impulse legs at the same temperature.

• When using sealing fluid, fill both piping legs to the same level.

• When purging, make the purge connection close to the process taps
and purge through equal lengths of the same size tubing. Avoid purging
through the transmitter.

Conduit The conduit connection to the transmitter is

conduit seal at the conduit entry to prevent moisture from accumulating in the
terminal side of the housing during accident conditions. To prevent the conduit
from adding mechanical stress to the transmitter during seismic disturbances,
use flexible conduit or support the conduit near the transmitter. Install the
conduit seal in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions or use the
procedure on page 2-8.

ELECTRICAL
CONSIDERATIONS

This section contains information that you should consider when preparing to
make electrical connections to the transmitter. Read this section carefully
before proceeding to the electrical installation procedures.

The Rosemount 1153 Series D pressure transmitter provides a 4–20 mA
signal when connected to a suitable dc power source. Figure 2-2 on page 2-5
illustrates a typical signal loop consisting of transmitter, power supply, and
various receivers (i.e., controller, indicator, computer). The power supply must
supply at least 12 volts to the transmitter terminals at 30 mA (overscale)
signal, or the maximum output current required for proper system operation.
Any power supply ripple appears in the output load. The supply voltage
versus load limitation relationship is shown in Figure 2-3 on page 2-5. See
qualification report D8300040 for details. The load is the sum of the resistance
of the signal leads and the load resistance of the receivers.

Signal wiring need not be shielded, but twisted pairs yield the best results. In
electrically noisy environments, shielded cable should be used for best
results. Do not run signal wiring in conduit or open trays with power wiring, or
near heavy electrical equipment. Signal wiring may be ungrounded (floating)
or grounded at any place in the signal loop. The transmitter case may be
grounded or ungrounded.

The capacitance-sensing element uses alternating current to generate a
capacitance signal. This alternating current is developed in an oscillator circuit
with a frequency of 32,000 ±10,000 Hz. This 32,000 Hz signal is capacitor
coupled to transmitter case ground through the sensing element. Because of
this coupling, a voltage may be imposed across the load, depending on
choice of grounding.

This impressed voltage, which is seen as high-frequency noise, has no effect
on most instruments. Computers with short sampling times in a circuit where
the negative transmitter terminal is grounded will detect a significant noise
signal. Filter this noise with a large capacitor (1 µf) or by using a 32,000 Hz LC
filter across the load. Signal loops grounded at any other point are negligibly
affected by this noise and do not need filtering.

Transmitter

Installation consists of mounting the transmitter and conduit and making
electrical connections. Following are procedures for each operation.

Be careful not to break the neck seal between the sensor module and the
electronics housing.

The threaded interface between the sensor module and the electronics
housing is hermetically sealed before shipment. The integrity of this seal is
necessary for the safe operation of the transmitter during accident conditions.
If the seal is broken, reseal it according to “Connecting Electrical Housing to
Sensor Module” on page 5-5.

1. Mount the bracket to a panel or other flat surface (see Figure 2-4 on
page 2-6). Use four
