2.1 DP Level and remote seal system measurement

DP Level is a reliable measurement solution for measuring level, density, interface, or mass of a process
media inside a tank.

Remote seal system measurement is unaffected by agitation, foam, or internal obstacles. Remote
diaphragm seals extend limitations due to process conditions such as high and low temperatures,
corrosive processes, viscous mediums, and hygienic applications.

2.3 Understanding seal system performance

2.3.1 Volume temperature effects (process temperature effects)

Fill fluids expand or contract with temperature changes, creating a volume change that is absorbed by
the diaphragm seal and is seen as back pressure at the transmitter. This back pressure creates a shift in
the transmitter reading. For symmetrical or balanced systems, this error is usually minimal due to the
back pressure being equal on both sides. However, head temperature effect is still present.

Note

Other factors that affect seal temperature effect include diaphragm thickness, seal type and size,
capillary length and inner diameter.

2.3.2 Density temperature effects (head temperature effects)

Density temperature effect is due to the change in specific gravity of the fill fluid caused by a change in
ambient temperature. When installed, the weight of the fill fluid will produce an initial pressure read by
the transmitter, equaling the height between the high and low connection taps multiplied by the fill
fluid's specific gravity. As ambient temperature changes, the fill fluid specific gravity will change causing
the weight of the fill fluid to change, thus changing the pressure read by the transmitter. Density effect
will be seen in both

2.3.3 System time response and performance

The time response of a system is based on the type of transmitter, its sensor range, the length and inner
diameter (ID) of the capillary, and the viscosity of the fill fluid (which is directly affected by the process
and ambient temperatures). These factors all play a role in the overall performance of any seal system.
The relationship between system time response and temperature error is illustrated in Figure 2-4. It can
be seen that changing the capillary ID has an inverse affect between the time response and temperature
effect of a capillary system. As the capillary ID is increased, the time response of the system decreases
while the temperature effect increases.

2.4 Balanced vs. Tuned-System assemblies

A balanced remote seal system is a symmetrical system that utilizes equal seals and capillary length on
the high and low pressure sides of the transmitter. Since the capillary lengths are the same, each side
ideally has the same amount of fill fluid, minimizing or completely eliminating the seal temperature
effect due to equal pressure on both sides of the transmitter diaphragm. The balanced systems are still
affected by the head pressure as shown in Figure 2-5.

Tuned-Systems assemblies are asymmetrical remote seal systems with one seal directly mounted to the
high side of the differential pressure transmitter, and the other side connected to a seal via capillary.
Another possible Tuned-System assembly is any remote seal system with unequal lengths of capillary or
two different remote seals on the high and low pressure connections. Due to the unequal lengths of
capillary, there are seal temperature effects. However, this seal temperature effect counters the head
pressure from the oil-filled capillary and reduces total temperature effects on the entire system.

2.5 Specifying the right solution for vacuum applications

2.5.1 Vacuum application overview

When a vessel is operating in a vacuum (negative gauge pressure), it is important to specify the correct
transmitter remote seal system to measure level accurately and reliably. Failure to do so can result in
output drift or complete system failure. The combination of high process temperature and vacuum
process pressure conditions creates additional requirements when specifying the transmitter remote
seal system.

2.5.2 Vacuum applications

There are three primary transmitter-seal system components necessary to successfully specify vacuum
application solutions:

 Seal system construction
 Fill fluid selection
 Transmitter mounting position

2.5.3 Seal system construction for vacuum applications

Emerson™ offers welded-repairable or all-welded vacuum system construction styles on diaphragm seal
assembles.

The all-welded vacuum construction was designed specifically for vacuum applications. In this
construction, the sensor module gaskets are removed and a disk is welded over the sensor isolators. This
eliminates the possibility of air being drawn into the seal system in deep vacuum conditions. This
premium design is strongly suggested for vacuum pressures below 6 psia (310 mmHga).

2.5.4 Transmitter mounting position

Mounting the pressure transmitter at or below the bottom vessel tap is an important factor to ensure a
stable measurement with vacuum applications. The static pressure limit for a differential pressure
transmitter is 0.5 psia (25 mmHgA), which ensures the transmitter sensor module fill fluid remains
within the liquid phase of the vapor pressure curve.

If the vessel static limit is below 0.5 psia, mounting the transmitter below the bottom tap provides a
capillary fill fluid head pressure on the module. A general rule is to always mount the transmitter
approximately 3 ft. (1 m) below the bottom tap of the vessel.

2.5.5 Fill fluid selection

When the process is under vacuum conditions, the fill fluid can vaporize at a lower temperature than
when it is under normal atmospheric or greater pressure. Each fill fluid has a specific vapor-pressure
curve. The vapor-pressure curve indicates the pressure and temperature relationship where the fluid is in
a liquid or a vapor state. Proper seal operation requires the fill fluid to remain in a liquid state.

2.6.2 Seam weld design

A seam weld design is used when the upper housing material is different from the diaphragm material.
The seam welded design has a hermetic weld at the inner diameter of the diaphragm and a TIG weld at
the outer edge. The diaphragm floats on the upper housing over the gasket surface area and could tear if

a metallic gasket were used.

2.6.3 Brazed design

This process uses a brazing ring where the metals are brazed to attach the diaphragm to the upper

This option is used with Tantalum diaphragm when a metallic gasket is required.

2.7 Differences between electronic remote sensors and capillary systems

Rosemount 3051S Electronic Remote Sensors (ERS™) System technology utilizes two Rosemount 3051S
Pressure Transmitters connected via an electrical wire instead of a single pressure transmitter with
remote seals and capillary tubing. As the Rosemount 3051S ERS System calculates the differential
pressure between the two transmitters, capillary tubing is not needed, and thus eliminates all head
temperature affects on the system. Seals are not required, but may still be necessary on certain
applications that include high temperature, corrosive, or viscous processes. For more information, refer
to the Rosemount 3051S Series Product Data Sheet

2.8 Instrument Toolkit: seal ordering and application process

Rosemount Instrument Toolkit Software is an instrumentation specification tool that can be used to
assist in product selection. This program analyzes application and process conditions against a
configured Rosemount model number and calculates the total system performance including expected
head and seal temperature effects and system response times.

2.9 Rosemount Thermal Range Expander: proper use and applications

Figure 2-8. Rosemount Thermal Range Expander

The Rosemount Thermal Range Expander increases the application range where DP Level technology can
be used by expanding the ambient and process temperature ranges of the system.

Traditional remote seal systems are filled with a single fill fluid to operate in applications with varying
ambient and process conditions. Silicone 704 and 705 are commonly used fluids for hot process
applications going above 570 °F (300 °C); these fluids must be kept above 32 °F (0 °C) and 68 °F (20 °C),
respectively, in order to properly transmit the pressure signal to the transmitter. This can prove to be
difficult for outdoor installations where extremely cold ambient conditions cause these fill fluids to gel.

The Rosemount Thermal Range Expander is a seal system that uses two different fill fluids to extend the
operating temperature range of the system. A high temperature fill fluid, which is next to the hot
process, is kept warm enough to stay responsive. A second fill fluid, located on the other side of the
intermediate diaphragm, operates over a wide ambient temperature range. The Rosemount Thermal
Range Expander can operate in ambient temperatures as low as –75 °C (–103 °F), and process
temperatures up to 410 °C (770 °F). This improves response time up to 46 percent and eliminates the
need for mechanical heat tracing.

The Rosemount Thermal Range Expander can be used with any Rosemount 3051S DP Level configuration
including Balanced Systems, Tuned-System Assembles, Electronic Remote Sensors (ERS), or direct
mounted to a transmitter.

Understanding Remote Seal Systems

Figure 2-12 shows the process and ambient temperature limits for the thermal optimizer with Silicone

704 and Silicone 705 Fill Fluids respectively. The shaded areas represent the temperature limitations;
applications outside of the shaded area cannot be used with a thermal optimizer.

For example, an application with an ambient temperature of 50 °F (10 °C) and a process temperature of
300 °F (149 °C) is within the limits, a thermal optimizer can be used in this application.

However, an application with an ambient temperature of 120 °F (40 °C) and a process temperature of
464 °F (240 °C) is outside of the limits. These high temperatures would be detrimental to the transmitter
electronics.

The submersible seal consists of a bellows-style seal and is designed for measuring level in top-down
applications with small tank connections, specifically 1.5-in. NPT threaded connections or 2- to 4-in.
flanges. For tanks with larger connections or open process measurements, an RTW seal should be
specified as it will provide a more accurate measurement.

Apart from traditional DP Level transmitters, this new design has both the seal and capillary submersed
in the process as shown below. Traditional DP Level seal systems are side mounted to tanks such that the
diaphragm seal is the only wetted material that comes in direct contact with the process fluid.

This assembly can only be ordered with Rosemount in-line transmitters for gage measurements.
Differential and absolute measurements are not available.

Additional specialized remote seals are available. Contact Emerson
information on these seals.

3.1 Seals handling and installation

3.1.1 Diaphragm

The remote seal diaphragm is designed to withstand pressure and wear from process, but outside of
process connection conditions, remote seals are delicate and should be handled with care.

The protective cover should remain on the seal until the moment before installation. Try to avoid
touching the diaphragm with fingers or objects and refrain from setting the diaphragm side of the seal
down on a hard surface.

Technical Support for installation

Installation

May 2017

Even minor dents or scratches in the diaphragm material may impair the performance of the seal system
assembly. Care should be taken to ensure the seal diaphragm is not dented or damaged during seal
installation.

3.1.2 Capillary

When unpacking or handling seal system assemblies, do not lift the seal or transmitter by gripping the
capillaries. Avoid sharply bending or crimping the capillary tubing. The minimum bending radius of the
capillary tubing is 3-in. (8 cm).

3.1.3 Rosemount Thermal Range Expander

The Rosemount™ Thermal Range Expander system uses the heat from the process in order to keep both
fluids within the system functioning properly; therefore insulation is not always required. However, it is
always best practice to insulate systems to keep them functioning with optimum performance. The
Rosemount Thermal Range Expander should never be insulated above the line marked on the seal itself.

Marking:
“Do Not Insulate
Above this Line”

Ok to

Insulate

3.1.4 Heat tracing

When using heat or steam tracing, exercise caution if PVC coating is added onto capillary, as PVC coating
should not be exposed to temperatures above 212 °F (100 °C) to avoid the possibility of thermal
breakdown.
Best practice for heat and steam tracing is to regulate the temperature slightly above the maximum
ambient temperature for a consistent result. To avoid accuracy effects and thermal stress, the capillary
should not be partially heated.

Do Not

Insulate

16

Installation

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4002, Rev DA

NEVER attempt to disconnect the seals or capillaries from the transmitter or loosen bolts. Doing so will
result in loss of fill fluid and will void the product warranty.

Failing to recognize incorrect materials during installation may cause process leaks, which can result in
damage to the diaphragm seal system or death and/or serious injury to personnel. Proper wetted
material is required for specific process materials.

3.2 Gaskets

When installing remote seal systems which employ a gasket or a gasket and flushing connection ring,
make sure the gasket is aligned properly on the gasket sealing surface.
The user is responsible to ensure the gasket used does not exceed the temperature limits of the process.
Failure to properly install the gasket may cause process leaks, which can result in death or serious injury.

In addition, make sure the gasket does not press down upon the diaphragm face. Anything pressing on
the diaphragm will be read by the transmitter as pressure. A misaligned gasket may cause a false reading.

Installation

May 2017

The intermediate gasket between the seal and lower housing is supplied when the lower housing or
flushing connection is provided. The default gaskets are listed in Tab l e 3 -1 based on seal type. The
process gasket must be supplied by the end user. Tantalum diaphragms are not supplied with default
gasket, so a gasket option must be selected when applicable.

If a lower housing is supplied, then the following gaskets are the default gaskets for each seal unless
another gasket option is selected.

Note

The end-user is responsible for choosing a gasket and ensuring the process temperature does not exceed
the temperature limits of the gasket used. Failure to properly install the gasket may cause process leaks,
which can result in death or serious injury.

3.3 Tagging

Each remote seal system is tagged in accordance with the end-user requirements.
The remote seal model number is identified on the transmitter label, shown in Figure 3-2, 3-3, and 3-4.

3.4.1 Parts required for installation

The parts required to install the FFW flush flanged seal will be defined here. Prior to installation, you will
need a standard wrench, a torque wrench, and the applicable
(phillips or slotted) screwdriver.

Installation

Although best practice is to use the same gasket type as is being used to connect the flushing ring to the
process, the provided gasket may be used once you have verified the Emerson-supplied gasket material
is appropriate for the application.

Inspect bolts to ensure the material is compatible with industry standards per the application such as
ASME PCC-1-2010.

Installation

3.4.2 Installation steps

Follow these steps to install the FFW flush flanged seal on an existing process flange:

1. Remove the plastic cover from the diaphragm of the remote seal.

2. If the FFW seal was ordered with both a flushing ring (option codes A, B, 2, H, 6, or V) and an
alignment clamp (option code SA); then the alignment clamp should be first used to attach the
flushing ring to the seal using Step 3. If no alignment clamp was purchased, proceed to Step 4.

3. Using the alignment clamp, attach the flushing ring to the diaphragm seal with a gasket between the
two. The clamp fits in the machined groove on both the remote seal and the flushing ring. Using the
applicable screwdriver, tighten the screw on the clamp to hold the flushing ring in place.

4. If a flushing ring was purchased but no alignment clamp, then ensure that a gasket is placed between
the diaphragm seal and flushing ring prior to bolting the components to the tank/pipe.

5. Flushing rings may be ordered with none, one, or two threaded connections, or can be supplied by
the factory with plugs or drain vent valves. Ensure flushing connections are sealed before
completing installation.

6. Put the washers on the bolts.

7. Insert two bolts in the bottom bolt holes of the flange on the remote seal. Bolts are installed this way
to avoid interference with the tank/pipe and to facilitate inspection of bolt material if required.

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4002, Rev DA

8. Place the appropriate gasket for the application on the remote seal or optional flushing ring and
align the gasket so that it is not inside the diaphragm weld as this will induce errors. Failure to
properly install the gasket may cause process leaks, which can result in death or serious injury.

9. Using the previously installed bolts, attach the remote seal and gasket to the process connection.

10. Loosely fasten the nuts onto the bolts.

11. Insert two bolts in the top bolt holes of the flange on the remote seal and hand-tighten the nuts.

12. Using a torque wrench on the bolt head and a standard wrench on the nut, tighten the assembly in a
cross-pattern to ensure even installation. The bolts should be torqued to the applicable flange
requirements. Required torque is a function of the gasket material and surface treatment of the
bolts and nuts which are end-user-supplied. For four bolts, the tightening pattern should be 1, 3, 2,
4; for eight bolts, the tightening pattern should be 1, 5, 3, 7, 2, 6, 4, 8; for t welve bolts the tightening
pattern should be 1, 9, 5, 3, 11, 7, 2, 10, 6, 4, 12, 8. Tighten 20 to 30 percent, check the gap, tighten
50 to 70 percent, check flange gap and uniformity, and continue to tighten in the appropriate
pattern until you reach 100 percent torque value. Time permitting, wait a minimum of four hours
and repeat the torque pattern to restore any short term creep/relaxation in the connection. Consider
leak checking the installation to ensure a robust connection.

3.5.1 4.1-in. (104 mm) diaphragm diameter option

The standard diaphragm size for the RFW seal is 2.4-in. (61 mm). 2.9-in. (74 mm) and

4.1-in. (104 mm) sizes are offered for small spans, and reduce temperature error when taking process

measurements.

3.5.2 Parts required for installation

The parts required to install the RFW remote flanged seal will be defined here. Prior to installation, you
will need a standard wrench and a torque wrench.

Obtain the Emerson-supplied gasket required to assemble the seal to the process connection according
to flange style and rating. Verify the gasket material is appropriate for the application.

Verify the Emerson-supplied gasket material is appropriate for the application. Inspect bolts to ensure
the material is compatible with industry standards per the application such as ASME PCC-1-2010.

3.5.3 Installation steps

It is recommended that two people install the RFW remote flanged seal to ensure proper alignment
during installation.

Follow these steps to install the RFW remote flanged seal on an existing process flange:

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4002, Rev DA

1. Remove the plastic cover from the diaphragm of the remote seal.

2. Put washers on the mounting bolts.

3. Assemble the flushing ring, Emerson-supplied gasket, and remote seal together. Place the

Emerson-supplied gasket inside the recessed cavity within the flushing ring which is designed to hold
the gasket in place.

4. Position the end-user-supplied gasket between the flushing ring/remote seal assembly and the

process flange. Ensure that the end-user-supplied gasket is centered on both the process flange and
the flushing connection. Ensure the flange bolt holes between the remote seal and the process flange
are aligned. Failure to properly install the gasket may cause process leaks, and measurement errors
which can result in death or serious injury.

5. Put the first bolt and washer through one of the holes on the bottom of the seal and process flange.

Secure with a nut and hand-tighten. The head of the bolt should be visible from outside the assembly.

6. Install the remaining bolts in a cross pattern, hand-tightening the nuts as each bolt is installed.

7. Using a torque wrench on the bolt head and a standard wrench on the nut, tighten the assembly in a

cross-pattern to ensure even installation. The bolts should be torqued to the applicable flange
requirements. Required torque is a function of the gasket material and surface treatment of the bolts
and nuts which are end-user-supplied. For four bolts, the tightening pattern should be 1, 3, 2, 4; for
eight bolts, the tightening pattern should be 1, 5, 3, 7, 2, 6, 4, 8; for twelve bolts the tightening
pattern should be 1, 9, 5, 3, 11, 7, 2, 10, 6, 4, 12, 8. Tighten 20 to 30 percent, check the gap, tighten
50 to 70 percent, check flange gap and uniformity, and continue to tighten in the appropriate pattern
until you reach 100 percent torque value. Time permitting, wait a minimum of four hours and repeat
the torque pattern to restore any short term creep/relaxation in the connection. Consider leak
checking the installation to ensure a robust connection.

3.6.1 Parts required for installation

The parts required to install the EFW extended flanged seal will be defined here. Prior to installation, you
will need a standard wrench and a torque wrench.

Inspect bolts to ensure the material is compatible with industry standards per the application such as
ASME PCC-1-2010.

3.6.2 Installation steps

Follow these steps to install the EFW extended flanged seal on an existing process flange. Ensure to use
extreme caution during installation to ensure no damage to the seal.

1. Remove the protective sleeve from the diaphragm of the remote seal.

2. Put the washers on the bolts.

3. Insert two bolts in the bottom bolt holes of the flange on the remote seal. Bolts are installed this way
to avoid interference with the tank/pipe and to facilitate inspection of bolt material if required.

4. Place the appropriate gasket for the application on the remote seal and align the gasket so that it is
not contacting the diaphragm as this will induce errors. Failure to properly install the gasket may
cause process leaks, which can result in death or serious injury.

Installation

May 2017

5. Using the previously installed bolts, attach the remote seal and gasket to the process connection.

6. Loosely fasten the nuts onto the bolts.

7. Insert two bolts in the top bolt holes of the flange on the remote seal and hand-tighten the nuts.

8. Using a torque wrench on the bolt head and a standard wrench on the nut, tighten the assembly in a
cross-pattern to ensure even installation. The bolts should be torqued to the applicable flange
requirements. Required torque is a function of the gasket material and surface treatment of the bolts
and nuts which are end-user-supplied. For four bolts, the tightening pattern should be 1, 3, 2, 4; for
eight bolts, the tightening pattern should be 1, 5, 3, 7, 2, 6, 4, 8; for twelve bolts the tightening
pattern should be 1, 9, 5, 3, 11, 7, 2, 10, 6, 4, 12, 8. Tighten 20 to 30 percent, check the gap, tighten
50 to 70 percent, check flange gap and uniformity, and continue to tighten in the appropriate pattern
until you reach 100 percent torque value. Time permitting, wait a minimum of four hours and repeat
the torque pattern to restore any short term creep/relaxation in the connection. Consider leak
checking the installation to ensure a robust connection.

3.7.1 Capillary support tube

A common option for the pancake type seal is the 4-in. capillary support tube. Due to the side capil­lary-to-seal connection, the support tube provides a handle for aligning the pancake seal during
installation. The support tube should not be used for supporting any weight.

3.7.2 Process flange

Emerson offers the option of supplying the process flange, otherwise the process flange is furnished by
the end-user. For certain pancake seal assemblies, the Emerson-supplied process flange has a machined
hole through the center of the flange. This hole corresponds to a threaded connection in the back of the
pancake seal upper housing. This allows the flange to be connected to the seal before installation to
make handling easier.

3.7.3 Parts required for installation

The parts required to install the PFW pancake seal will be defined here. Prior to installation, you will need
a standard wrench, a torque wrench, and a phillips or flathead screwdriver.

Although best practice is to use the same gasket type as is being used to connect the optional flushing
ring to the process, the provided gasket may be used once you have verified the Emerson-supplied
gasket material is appropriate for the application.

There is a
be drilled into your flange to support ease of installation.

Inspect bolts to ensure the material is compatible with industry standards per the application such as
ASME PCC-1-2010.

3.7.4 Installation steps

Follow these steps to install the PFW pancake seal on an existing process flange:

1. Remove the plastic cover from the diaphragm of the remote seal.

2. If the Emerson-supplied optional flange was ordered with the PFW pancake seal, the seal and the

flange will arrive assembled.

3. If the PFW seal was ordered with both a flushing ring (option codes A, B, 2, H, 6, or V) and an

alignment clamp (option code SA); then the alignment clamp should be first used to attach the
flushing ring to the seal. Using the alignment clamp, attach the flushing ring to the diaphragm seal
with a gasket between the two. The clamp fits in the machined groove on both the remote seal and
the flushing ring. Using the applicable screwdriver, tighten the screw on the clamp to hold the
flushing ring in place.

4. If a flushing ring was purchased but no alignment clamp, then ensure that a gasket is placed

between the diaphragm seal and flushing ring prior to bolting the components to the tank/pipe.

5. Flushing rings may be ordered with none, one, or two threaded connections, or can be supplied by

the factory with plugs or drain vent valves. Ensure flushing connections are sealed before
completing installation.

6. Put the washers on the bolts.

7. Insert two bolts in the bottom bolt holes of the flange on the remote seal. Bolts are installed this way

to avoid interference with the tank/pipe and to facilitate inspection of bolt material if required.

8. Place the appropriate gasket for the application on the remote seal or optional flushing ring and

align the gasket so that it is not inside the diaphragm weld as this will induce errors. Failure to
properly install the gasket may cause process leaks, which can result in death or serious injury.

3.8.1 Parts required for installation

The parts required to install the FCW remote flanged seal will be defined here. Prior to installation, you
will need a standard wrench and a torque wrench.

Obtain the gasket required to assemble the seal to the process connection according to flange style and
rating.

Note

Emerson does not provide this gasket.

Verify the gasket material is appropriate for the application.

3.8.2 Installation steps

Follow these steps to install the FCW flush flanged seal on an existing process flange:

1. Remove the plastic cover from the diaphragm of the remote seal.

2. Flushing rings may be ordered with none, one, or two threaded connections, or can be supplied by
the factory with plugs or drain vent valves. Ensure flushing connections are sealed before completing
installation.

Installation

May 2017

3. Put the washers on the bolts.

4. Insert two bolts in the bottom bolt holes of the flange on the remote seal. Bolts are installed this way
to avoid interference with the tank/pipe and to facilitate inspection of bolt material if required.

5. Place the appropriate gasket for the application on the remote seal or optional flushing ring and align
the gasket so that it is not contacting the diaphragm as this will induce errors. Failure to properly
install the gasket may cause process leaks, which can result in death or serious injury.

6. Using the previously installed bolts, attach the remote seal and gasket to the process connection.

7. Loosely fasten the nuts onto the bolts.

8. Insert two bolts in the top bolt holes of the flange on the remote seal and hand-tighten the nuts.

9. Using a torque wrench on the bolt head and a standard wrench on the nut, tighten the assembly in a
cross-pattern to ensure even installation. The bolts should be torqued to the applicable flange
requirements. Required torque is a function of the gasket material and surface treatment of the bolts
and nuts which are end-user-supplied. For four bolts, the tightening pattern should be 1, 3, 2, 4; for
eight bolts, the tightening pattern should be 1, 5, 3, 7, 2, 6, 4, 8; for twelve bolts the tightening
pattern should be 1, 9, 5, 3, 11, 7, 2, 10, 6, 4, 12, 8. Tighten 20 to 30 percent, check the gap, tighten
50 to 70 percent, check flange gap and uniformity, and continue to tighten in the appropriate pattern
until you reach 100 percent torque value. Time permitting, wait a minimum of four hours and repeat
the torque pattern to restore any short term creep/relaxation in the connection. Consider leak
checking the installation to ensure a robust connection.

The parts required to install the RTW remote threaded seal will be defined here. Prior to installation, you
will need a standard wrench, a torque wrench, and thread sealant (thread sealant must meet the
requirements of the application. An example thread sealant is PTFE tape).

Verify the Emerson-supplied gasket material is appropriate for the application.

Inspect bolts to ensure the material is compatible with industry standards per the application such as
ASME PCC-1-2010.

3.12.2 Installation steps

Follow these steps to install the RTW remote threaded seal on an existing process flange:

1. Ensure the remote seal assembly is disassembled. Remove any bolts holding the upper and lower
housings together.

2. Apply the thread tape to the male thread end of the connection. This will be the process connection if
using a female threaded lower housing, or the remote seal itself if using a male threaded lower
housing.

3. Thread the lower housing to the process connection. The lower housing includes a small hole
designed to facilitate this process and to obtain the required torque level.

4. Place the gasket into the groove of the lower housing.

5. Place the remote seal on top of the gasket ensuring alignment with the lower housing groove. Failure
to properly install the gasket may cause process leaks, which can result in death or serious injury.

6. Install the bolts and hand tighten.

7. Using a torque wrench on the bolt head and a standard wrench on the nut, tighten the assembly in a
cross-pattern to ensure even installation. The bolts should be torqued to (see Ta b l e 3 - 1 8 for size and
bolt material). The tightening pattern should be 1, 5, 3, 7, 2, 6, 4, 8. Tighten 20 to 30 percent, check
the gap, tighten 50 to 70 percent, check flange gap and uniformity, and continue to tighten in the
appropriate pattern until you reach 100 percent torque value. Time permitting, wait a minimum of
four hours and repeat the torque pattern to restore any short term creep/relaxation in the
connection. Consider leak checking the installation to ensure a robust connection.

Installation

May 2017

Bullet 3 shows the actual hole cut in the tank. Attempt to cut the hole as smoothly and as circular as
possible. A torch cut is not recommended. The tank spud O.D. is 5.98-in. ± 0.010-in.
(152 mm ± 0.25 mm). When cutting the hole for the tank spud, the gap between the hole diameter and
spud O.D. should be held to a minimum. It is recommended that the hole be no larger than 6.020-in.
(153 mm). Anything larger than 6.020-in. (153 mm) could increase the amount of tank spud distortion.

If a bevel(s) is required, an angle no larger than 37.5° is recommended; see ASME B16.25 for more
details. Bevels can be made on one or both sides of the tank. Do not grind or cut the bevel to a sharp
point. Attempt to leave a flat area.

Figure 3-21. Bevel Example

A. Tank spud
B. Bevel

C. Tank

The flat area should be large enough to minimize spud distortion but small enough so that tank weld
requirements can be met. Minimizing the bevel angle will decrease the amount of fill required during
weld and minimize the number of weld passes. These best practices will decrease heat input and help
mitigate distortion.

3.15.4 Welding

Excessive heat will distort the tank spud. Allow adequate cooling time between passes.

Ensure spud is not assembled to transmitter and/or remote seal prior to welding. Do not nick the sealing
surfaces of the tank spud, the inner angled surfaces where the O-ring sits shown in Figure 3-22, as any
irregularities may cause leaks.

Figure 3-22. O-ring Sealing Surfaces

A. Sealing surfaces

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4002, Rev DA

A

With the spud centered in the tank hole, make sure the inner surface of the spud is flush with the inner
surface of the tank. The leak detection hole in the spud should be at the bottom of the spud. With the
spud properly located, tack weld it into place using four tack welds, 90° from each other.

Begin welding on the inside of vessel. Weld in sections similar to the sequence in Figure 3-23.

Figure 3-23. Welding Sections

Allow time to cool between weld sections. Weld should be cooled to 350 °F (177 °C) or less after each
pass while being cool to the touch is preferred. Use of a damp cloth or compressed air is allowed if rapid
cooling is desired. Repeat procedure on the outside of the tank.

Note

The number of weld passes should be kept to a minimum while maintaining tank weld standards and
sanitary requirements. Additional weld passes are a significant contributor to spud distortion due to
additional heat input and added filler material in beveled area of hole. When fill passes are required, a

1

/16-in. (1.58 mm) diameter weld rod is recommended.

3.22.1 Parts required for installation

The parts required to install the WSP saddle seal will be defined here. Prior to installation, you will need a
torque wrench and appropriate welding supplies.

Verify the gasket material is appropriate for the application.

Ensure the saddle lower is not assembled to the pressure transmitter and/or the remote seal prior to
welding.

Reference Manual

00809-0100-4002, Rev DA

3.22.2 Installation steps

Follow these steps to install the WSP saddle seal:

1. Weld the saddle lower onto the process pipe or tank per plant procedures. When connecting the

lower housing to your process, refer to the applicable welding standard for your application.

Excessive heat will distort the saddle lower. Allow adequate cooling time between passes.

2. Remove the plastic cover from the diaphragm of the remote seal.

3. Place the appropriate gasket for the application into the lower housing and align the gasket so that it

is not contacting the diaphragm as this will induce errors. Failure to properly install the gasket may
cause process leaks, which can result in death or serious injury.

4. Insert the WSP saddle seal into the lower housing.

5. Loosely thread all bolts into the lower housing.

6. Using a torque wrench tighten the assembly in a cross-pattern to ensure even installation. The bolts

should be torqued to 180 in-lb (20 N-m) with stainless or carbon steel bolts. For six bolts, the
tightening pattern should be 1, 4, 2, 5, 3, 6; for eight bolts, the tightening pattern should be 1, 5, 3, 7,
2, 6, 4, 8; for twelve bolts the tightening pattern should be 1, 9, 5, 3, 11, 7, 2, 10, 6, 4, 12, 8. Tighten
20 to 30 percent, check the gap, tighten 50 to 70 percent, check gap and uniformity, and continue to
tighten in the appropriate pattern until you reach 100 percent torque value. Time permitting, wait a
minimum of four hours and repeat the torque pattern to restore any short term creep/relaxation in
the connection. Consider leak checking the installation to ensure a robust connection.

Dimensions are in inches (millimeters).

3.23.1 Parts required for installation

The parts required to install the UCP union connection seal will be defined here. Prior to installation, you
will need a torque wrench, hole saw, and appropriate welding supplies.

Verify the gasket material is appropriate for the application.

3.23.2 Installation steps

1. Using the appropriate size hole saw, cut a hole in the process vessel to accept the lower housing. The

diameter for a lower housing with a heat isolator groove is 2.37-in. (60 mm). The hole should produce
a tight, uniform fit when coupled with the lower housing.

2. Bevel the edge of the vessel hole to accept filler material (see Figure 3-32 on page 70). An angle no

larger than 37.5° is recommended; see ASME B16.25 for more details. Bevels can be made on one or
both sides of the tank. Do not grind or cut the bevel to a sharp point. Attempt to leave a flat area. The
flat area should be large enough to minimize spud distortion but small enough so that tank weld
requirements can be met. Minimizing the bevel angle will decrease the amount of fill required during
weld and minimize the number of weld passes. These best practices will decrease heat input and help
mitigate distortion.

3. Position the lower housing weld spud in the vessel hole, place heat sink and tack the housing in place

using the welding sequence shown in Figure 3-32 on page 70. Cool each section with a wet cloth
before proceeding to the next section.

4. Do not place the seal in the lower housing prior to welding. Do not nick the sealing surfaces of the

weld spud, the inner angled surfaces where the gasket sits shown, as any irregularities may cause
leaks.

5. Weld the housing in place using 0.030- to 0.045-in. (0,762 to 1,143 mm) stainless steel rod as filler in

the beveled area. Using between 100 and 125 amps, adjust the amperage for 0.080-in. (2,032 mm)
penetration. Allow time to cool between weld sections. Weld should be cooled to 350 °F (177 °C) or
less after each pass while being cool to the touch is preferred. Use of a damp cloth or compressed air is
allowed if rapid cooling is desired. Repeat procedure on the outside of the tank.

4.2 DP Level transmitter installation best practices

Pressure transmitters have a sensor module with a primary fill fluid. Therefore, the mounting position of
a standard transmitter with silicon fill could read approx ±1.25 inH

simply zeroed out using a HART Communicator after installation so that it will read zero pressure. With a
remote seal attached you have additional components that will create additive pressure that would
increase the amount of potential shift. This would include the secondary fill fluid in the remote seal
assembly along with the potential of torqueing effects when the assembly is bolted to the process. For
these reasons, the transmitter’s digital output will most likely not match the exact values calculated on
paper. Even a redundant transmitter would most likely not read the exact digital values after being
installed. For these reasons, a re-range function is common practice after all installations.

O worst case after installation. This is

A. Primary fill
B. Secondary fill

What is important is the calculated span (level height ⫻ specific gravity of the process). After the
transmitter is mounted, it is common and best practice to re-range the transmitter so that the 4 mA
point will be the installed digital value. The 20 mA point would then be set based on the calculated span
value setting it above the installed digital value.

The procedure would be based on mounting configuration (zero based) 4 mA = 0 inH
based) 4 mA exceeds the ±3% of the upper sensor limit (USL).

4.2.1 Open tank (zero based)

With open tank level applications this value can typically be zeroed out using a HART device as long as it
is < 3% USL. The maximum value that can be zeroed out is 3% of the USL or

7.5 inH

O for a range 2 (250 inH2O) sensor.

2

4.2.2 Closed tank (non-zero based)

For closed tank level applications, this value is most likely too high and cannot be zeroed out due to the
applied pressure of the secondary fill fluid. For this reason, the transmitter would simply be re-ranged so
that the 0% value (4 mA) would equal the installed value. The 100 percent, (20 mA) would be adjusted to
the required calculated span.

mounted to low process tap and low sensor side is mounted to high process tap.

3. Wire and apply power to the transmitter.

4. If the transmitter has a zero button, push the Zero button. This will automatically re-range the

transmitter so the LRV (4 mA) will equal the current applied pressure value and the 20 mA URV will
equal the span value.
