1. INTRODUCTION
The model FD20 immersion fittings are used to submerge sensor tips so that the pH and/or
ORP (redox) potential of liquids in open vessels, tanks, drains etc. can be measured.
The fittings are available for mounting of either:
- one electrode
- three electrodes
- four electrodes or alternatively three electrodes and a cleaning system.
Features
• Designed for either pH or ORP measurements in tanks open vessels and drains.
• “Hoisting cable” for easy maintenance.
• Pre-selected immersion length.
• Wide choice of construction materials.
• Flange mounting.
• High degree of standardisation reduces spare holding requirements.
• Liquid earth pin for stable measurements.
• Chemical or brush cleaning systems as an option.

It is important that, whatever method of
mounting is used, the point of measurement is
truly representative for the entire solution.
- Avoid an area where the measurement value
varies significantly.
- Ensure that the sensors are always immersed
in the process liquid (not dry).

- When selecting the installation site, first check
that the liquid temperature and pressure
meets the sensors and fittings requirements.
- If the fitting is used in a tank with stirrer
or agitator, or if it is placed in a fast flowing
process, care must be taken that it

is adequately supported to prevent any
movement.
- Install the fitting in a site where it can be easily maintained.
The mounting position of the sensors must be within the area as shown in figure 3-1.
3-2. Installation
Before installing the immersion fitting, check that all parts and accessories were supplied by
Yokogawa.
Ensure that there is enough spare around to withdraw the fitting for calibration and maintenance.
3-2-1. “Hoisting eye” type mounting
On top of each fitting is a “hoisting eye” to withdraw from the process.
3-2-2. Flange mounting fitting
If ordered, the immersion fittings are supplied with a flange for fixing in a tank. The flange is
connected to the fitting as shown in the dimensional drawings. These drawings also show
the configuration of holes.
The max. pressure is 3 bar. For higher pressure ratings and other types of flanges please
contact your local Sales Department of Yokogawa.

Before mounting a sensor and/or accessory
the cables must be passed through the
fitting. When mounting Yokogawa sensors
the electrode cables, model WU20(D),
should be used (see figure 3-2). Length 1,

Attention:
Ensure that the cable has slack remaining
in the fitting so that sensor replacement is
simplified. To prevent damage of the O-rings
the nut and glands must be screwed
HAND-TIGHT to the fitting. Prepare the
sensor to be used in accordance with the
directions for use. After that mounting can
be made as shown in fig. 3-3.
Attention:
To prevent fouling of the contacts, it is
recommended to screw the electrode
cable on the electrode as soon as possible.
Ensure that there is no moisture or dust in
the connection sensor-cable.

3-3-2. 3-Hole and 4-hole fitting
Unscrew the protector complete with
electrode holder from the lower end of the
fitting (see figure 3-3).
Unscrew the cap of an electrode mouting
set. Pass the electrode cable through this
cap and after that through the fitting.
Mount the other electrode cables in a
similar manner. Pass the electrode cables
and the liquid earth cable through a hose
connection, which is delivered with the
fitting in a plastic pocket.
Attention:
Ensure that the cables have slack remaining
in the fitting. The plug of the electrode cable
must be ± 15 cm out of the lower end so
that torsion will be avoided and
sensor mounting is simplified.
Before screwing the hose connection into
place HAND-TIGHT, some glue must be put
to the screw end (see figure 3-4).
Prepare the sensors to be used in
accordance with the directions for use and
mount them in the fitting as shown in fig.
3-4. For stable measurements the glass
and reference electrode should be mounted
in the holes nearest to the earth connection.
As delivered the O-rings (2x) for water-tight
sealing in the mounting holes are on the
blanking plugs. These plugs are for unused
holes.
To prevent fouling of the contacts, it is
recommended to screw the electrode cable
on the electrode as soon as possible.

4-2. Mounting kit (order nr. K1500BY)
This mounting kit replaces the standard
electrode mounting set so that Yokogawa
refillable electrodes with a long glass shaft
can be mounted in a fitting.
The mounting set may be used at process
pressures up to 3 bar. Higher pressure
ratings require the standard mounting set
and consequently, electrodes with DINdimensions.
Figure 4-2 shows the mounting.
Note:
The pressure on the KCI-solution must
always exceed the liquid pressure.
The refillable electrodes can be connected
to a KCI-reservoir via a silicone tubing
(see figure 4-2). The pressure on the
KCI-solution and consequently, the liquid
outlet of the electrode can be increased by
mounting the reservoir on top of the fitting.
This prevents penetration of the process
liquid into the electrode.

4-3. Cleaning systems
The standardised design of fittings makes it
possible to mount cleaning systems directly.
The 4-hole types are especially designed for
these applications.
The Yokogawa program includes two
different types of cleaning systems
(see figure 4-3):
- brush cleaning
(electrically or pneumatically driven)
- chemical cleaning

4-3-3. Chemical cleaning
The chemical cleaning system is based on periodically spraying of a cleanser on to the
glass membrane of the electrode. The cleanser to be used, the cleaning frequency, etc. are
highly dependent on the liquid to be measured. The cleaning period and frequency can be
adjusted on a control unit. The mounting procedure is shown in figure 4-5.

4-4. Salt bridge
This reference electrode/salt bridge
combination allows the measurement of
pH and ORP (Redox) potentials with normal
electrodes in those cases when:
A. excessive contamination of the flow
diaphragm is expected. The flow of the
reference liquid through the diaphragm is
increased by pressurising the container.
Consequently, the contamination rate will
decrease.
B. the process to be measured cannot
stand contamination with KCI. The
salt bridge can be filled with several
electrolytes, e.g. KNO3.
C. measurement has to be performed at
pressures up to 10 bar and temperatures
up to 100 °C. As the container with
reference liquid can be pressurised.

5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
5-1. Cleaning and fitting
Usally no cleaning is necessary.
5-2. Inspection of the O-ring seal
The O-ring seal used in the wetted parts of the fitting is made of silicone rubber which has
superior resistance to corrosion and is suitable for use with most process liquids.
Usually no periodically inspection is necessary. To prevent trouble, replace the O-ring seal
periodically, e.g. every year.
Note: For chemical resistance of the used material refer to General Specifications sheet
