Quick Start Guide
5. A second identically sized hole must be drilled opposite the first hole so that
the sensor can pass completely through the pipe. To drill the second hole,
follow these steps:
a. Measure the pipe circumference with a pipe tape, soft wire, or string. (For
the most accurate measurement the pipe tape needs to be perpendicular to
the axis of flow.)
b. Divide the measured circumference by two to determine the location of the
second hole.
c. Re-wrap the pipe tape, soft wire, or string from the center of the first hole.
Then, using the number calculated in the preceding step, mark the center of
what will become the second hole.
d. Using the diameter determined in step 3, drill the hole into the pipe with a
hole saw or drill. DO NOT TORCH CUT THE HOLE.
6. Deburr the drilled holes on the inside of the pipe.
3.0 Assemble and check fit-up
For accurate measurement, use the following steps to ensure that Ports A and B
are equal distances from the inside walls of the pipe.
1. Assemble the Rosemount 585 to the mounting hardware with the gaskets and
bolts.
2. Hand tighten the bolts just enough to hold the position of the sensor centered
in the mounting hardware.
3. Check the fit of the assembly to the pipe by inserting a rule or stiff wire
through both mounting holes. Note the distance. All sensing holes must be
inside the pipe inner diameter. See Figure 5.
4. Add 1/16-in. (1,6 mm) to the measured distance for the weld gap and transfer
to the assembly starting at the high point of the butt weld branch connection.
5. Measure the distance from the high point of the butt weld branch connection
to the first sensing hole, port B, then subtract 1/16-in (1,6 mm).
6. Measure the distance from the end of the transferred length in step 4to the
last sensing hole, port A.
7. Compare the numbers obtained in steps 5and 6.
Small discrepancies can be compensated for with the fit-up of the mounting
hardware. Large discrepancies may cause installation problems or error.
Drill the appropriate diameter hole
through the pipe wall.
