1.0 SCOPE These instructions provide a description of procedures for installing the Accelabar model flow sensor and meter body. Procedures are given for all industrial flow measurement applications including liquid, steam and gas, for both horizontal and vertical piping configurations 2.0 RECEVNG NSPECTON The following tasks should be performed as part of the receiving inspection procedure: Check items received against the packing list. Check sensor nameplate for proper model number, serial number and tag number. Verify the serial number on the 10 tag attached to the sensor matches that of the serial number on the packing list. Check assembly for signs of damage such as a bent flow sensor, or a scratched sealing surface in the flange deeper than allowed by ASME 816.5 (consult Veris for ASME 816.5 guidelines if needed) 3.0 SAFETY PRECAUTONS f1 The following process should be conducted prior to installing the Accelabar: Check the maximum operating conditions on the flow sensor 10 tag to verify the maximum operating conditions of the application have been exceeded. f any pressure, temperature or flow limits will be exceeded, contact the factory before proceeding. Verify enough room available to install the meter (face-to-face and clearance). Check to ensure the pipe is depressurized and drained prior to installation. The Accelabar is available in ASME 816.5 Class 150, 300 and 600# configurations; verify the Accelabar flanges match the required application rating. Verify all pressure containing components are properly installed and tightened prior to pressurizing the system. 4.0 NSTALLATON PREPERATONS 4.1 Location There are no straight run requirements 4.2 Orientation Verify the proper sensor orientation by checking for an "-H" (horizontal piping) or a "-V' (vertical piping) in the model number on the Accelabar sensor 10 tag. Deviation from the following mounting location instructions may cause in accuracy in the flow measurement. 4.2.1 Horizontal Piping For air or gas applications, the Accelabar must be mounted directly to the top of the pipe in the 12 o'clock position. For liquid and steam applications, the Accelabar must be mounted directly to the bottom of the pipe in the lower 160 position (See Figure 1 and 2}. 4.2.2 Vertical Piping For vertical air or gas applications, orientation of the Accelabar is not critical.

5.0 NSTALLATON PROCEDURE WARNNG: Large and heavy Accelabars require support at the unit and piping. Lifting by the instrument head or RTD can cause severe damage to the instrumentation and is NOT recommended. A 5.1 Preparing the Pipe Completely depressurize and drain the pipe prior to Accelabar installation. Remove a section of the pipe large enough to accommodate the face-to-face flange dimension of the corresponding sized Accelabar listed in Table 1. NOTE: The face-toface dimensions do not include gaskets (see Figure 3). Veris recommends adding 0.375" to the face-to-face dimension to obtain the required distance between piping flanges. MPORTANT FOR DRECT MOUNT APPLCATONS: Locate the Accelabar to allow adequate clearance for a manifold and transmitter, a minimum of 24" from the centerline of the pipe. Bolt the manifold and transmitter to the Accelabar to obtain the exact clearance requirements for the given application.

Weld flanges to existing pipe. Make certain the pipe flanges and Accelabar flanges are the same Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) and pressure rating. Bolt hole location must mimic the diagram shown in Figure 4 {does not show 12 and 20 bolt patters; orientation is typical). MPORTANT: Piping must yield slightly to allow the gaskets to crush and seal completely. Top Top 4 BOLT 8 BOLT 5.2 nstalling the Accelabar Figure 4. Bolt Hole Location Refer to Figure 1 and 2 for proper Accelabar orientation for horizontal applications (orientation is not critical for vertical applications). Position Accelabar in piping void that has been prepared per dimension in Table1 (see Figure 4). Be certain the Flow arrow on the Accelabar in oriented in the same direction as the flow in the pipe. Failure to orient the Accelabar correctly will result in poor and inaccurate measurement. Place the appropriate spiral-wound gasket between the pipe flanges and the Accelabar flanges. nsert the flange bolts through the flanges and tighten the nuts, hand-tight, on each end of the bolts. Once all the bolts are hand-tight, tighten opposing sets of bolts until the gasket is crushed. The complete crushed gasket height should be approximately 1/8" (0.125"). 6.0 SENSOR AND COMPONENT NSTALLATON The following instructions describe complete assembly of the Accelabar sensor in the Accelabar meter body. MPORTANT: Depressurize and drain the pipe if the Accelabar is installed in the line. 10-AF-VW-CS-033 REV C (01/13) Page 7

(See Figure 5) Using a blunt screwdriver, swage the packing material between the outer diameter of the packing box and the outside diameter of the tube. Care must be taken not to twist the packing material or damage the packing box surface during installation. O-AF-VW-CS-033 REV C (01/13) Page 8
After each individual packing ring is swaged around the tube, the follower should be pushed down firmly on the packing ring to seat the ring in the packing box. Repeat steps for the other three packing rings, being sure that the splits in the packing rings are go apart as shown in Figure 5. Corr ect pocking orientation (note, the or len totlon of the 45' split). 6.2 Packing Bolt nstallation Figure 5 Put one split washer on each packing bolt and apply a small amount of anti-seize paste onto the first three to five threads of the packing bolts. nstall packing bolts per orientation shown in Figure 6, hand tighten. 6.3 Accelabar Sensor nstallation Figure 6 Carefully insert the Accelabar sensor into the Accelabar meter body. The sensor can only be inserted in one direction due to the orientation of the mount disk and the packing bolts. (See Figure 7) Bottom the sensor firmly in the meter body. 10 -AF-VW-CS-033 REV C (01/13) Page 9
Place one split locking washer onto socket head cap screw and apply Loctite 262, high strength thread-locking compound. Thread until screw is hand tight, tighten % turn beyond hand tight. Tighten the socket head scrap screws to a torque of 70 inch-pounds on (-05) models and 100 inch-pounds on (-10) models. (Note Table 1 on page 5 for sensor size) /1 6.4 Help Figure 7 (Vertical Orientation shown.

Table 3 Rector Seal "T Plus 2" Teflon Enriched Thread Sealant When applying thread sealant, fully cover the lead thread and smear the sealant on all the threads a full 360. Make sure to get sealant into the valleys of the threads on the male part.!0-af-vw-cs-033 REV C (01/13) Page 10
When applying thread sealant tape, wrap the tape clockwise. Apply it so that the lead thread is covered 2 full turns before wrapping up to the vanishing thread. All threads should be covered with three complete turns of tape. When installing the plug, insert it into the thermowell and hand tighten. When installing an RTD assembly, follow procedure, Table 3 and Figure 8. o o o o o Apply thread sealant or tape to the bottom RTD threads and thread into the thermowell. Assure that the RTD is bottomed. Apply the same thread sealant to the top RTD threads and thread the union onto the RTD, rotating side up. Tighten the union so that the top does not spin. Gently thread the RTD wires through the elbow. Apply the same thread sealant to the elbow threads and thread into union. f necessary, loosen the union and position the elbow so that it points to the side of the body as shown in Figure 8, re-tighten the union. Push the RTD wires into the junction box and thread the box onto the elbow in the orientation shown in Figure 8. f a cable is supplied, thread it into the junction box and hook up the wires, red-to-red, red-to-red, and white-to-white, refer to Figure 9. Clip the drain wire (un-insulated) off at the base. R, P, and T heads are typically not supplied with a cable..junct ON 130X \ \ Ct\131.!:: ' Figure 8 O-AF-VW-CS-033 REV C (01/13) Page 11

8.0 PERODC MANTENANCE The assembly should be periodically checked. Verify that no leaks are present. Retaining nuts and packing bolts should be tight. 8.1 Replacing Packing The following instructions describe removing the Accelabar sensor from the meter body and replacing the packing rings: MPORT ANT: Depressurize and drain the pipe. Unbolt and remove transmitter from the Accelabar, or remove the instrumentation tubing from head. Loosen and remove socket head cap screws. (See Figure 7) Loosen the follower bolts and gently remove the sensor from the meter body. Remove follower bolts and follower from the meter body. Carefully remove old packing, taking care in not damaging the surface of the packing box. nstall new packing and reinstall sensor per procedures described in Section 6. Reassemble the transmitter or instrumentation tubing to the sensor head. 10-AF-VW-CS-033 REV C (01/ 13) Page 13
