Upon removal of the device from storage, a visual inspection should be
conducted to verify its “as-received” condition. If the device has been
subject to storage conditions in excess of those recommended (refer to
“2-3 Recommended Storage Practice” on p. 2-1), if applicable, it should be
subjected to a pneumatic pressure test in accordance with applicable vessel
codes.
Mechanical Connections
1. The SolidSense II pressure transducer is double-bagged for cleanroom
service and should remain packaged until installation. DO NOT remove
the pressure transducer from the protective bag unless you are in a clean
environment.
a. Remove the pressure transducer from the box and carry it into the
gray area.
b. Remove the outer protective bag and discard.
c. Carry the pressure transducer (sealed in inner bag) into the clean
room.
2. Install the SolidSense II pressure transducer.
a. Prepare the connection tting in place on the gas line. Any other
tting components, such as stainless steel gaskets, should be blown
clean with ltered gas before use.
b. Maintain a ow of at least 1 slpm (0.05 scfm) of inert gas during
installation to minimize tubing and pressure transducer contamination
from environmental moisture and particles. The recommended purge
gas is electronic-grade Nitrogen.
c. Open the inner bag and remove the pressure transducer. Remove
any tting protection caps and seat the pressure transducer on the
mating connections.
d. For connections compatible with VCR® ttings: Tighten by hand.
Then turn the tting 1/8 turn past nger-tight using a wrench also see
Figure 2 -8.
