1 Product description Spacers - Plastic 1 Product description 1.1 Overview If VEGAFLEX sensors with rod or cable version are used in standpipes or bypass tubes, contact with the tube wall must be reliably avoided. Spacers or centering weights fix the measuring probe in the middle of the tube. Use as few spacers as possible. With rod probes, one spacer at the probe end is usually sufficient. Spacers - Plastic (K) Spacers of plastic are suitable for applications up to 250 C (482 F). Notches on the 4-arm spacer make it easy to trim down the spacer to standard diameters. This allows the spacer to be adapted to the tube diameter. Spacers - Metal (M) The metallic spacers are suitable for applications with high temperatures. The elastic arms of the spacer fix the probe in the tube. Select the spacer according to the tube inner diameter. Centering weights (G) The metallic centering weights are suitable for use with cable versions in standpipes or bypass tubes. Select the centering weight according to the tube inner diameter. Gravity weights (S) Gravity weights can be used in combination with a spacer of plastic or metal as a centering weight. For this purpose the gravity weight has a smaller diameter (ø 16 mm) at the lower end, onto which you can plug a suitable plastic spacer. 1.2 Centerings These spacers are suitable for bare, metallic probes. Spacers of plastic are suitable for applications up to 250 C (482 F). Notches on the 4-arm spacer make it easy to trim down the spacer to standard diameters. The spacer can thus be adapted to the tube diameter. This kind of spacer is slid onto probes and must be fixed with special retaining rings in the required position. Suitable retaining rings are included in the delivery. Use as few spacers as possible. With rod probes, one spacer at the probe end is usually sufficient. There are various versions for different rod or cable probes. You can find out which spacer is suitable for a particular probe in the table at the end of this chapter. 3

Spacers of plastic are suitable for applications up to 250 C (482 F). Notches on the 4-arm spacer allow simple trimming. The spacer can thus be adapted to the tube diameter. This kind of spacer can be plugged laterally onto the probe and does not need any other fixing components. Use as few spacers as possible. With rod probes, one spacer at the probe end is usually sufficient. There are various versions for different rod or cable diameters. You can find out which spacer is suitable for a particular probe in the table at the end of this chapter. 4

2 Mounting 2 Mounting Spacers Buildup Standpipes or bypass tubes 2.1 General instructions Use as few spacers as possible. With rod probes, one spacer at the probe end is usually sufficient. If several spacers are required, they should be mounted large distances apart. Keep in mind that buildup can form on the spacers. Strong buildup can influence the measurement. When probes are used in standpipes or bypass tubes, contact with the tube wall must be avoided. We therefore recommend probes with a centering. Rod probes generally do not require a spacer. However, if there is a risk of the rod probe being pressed against the tube wall by inflowing medium, you should mount a spacer at the probe end to reliably avoid contact with the tube wall. The cable of cable probes can also be strained. The centering should be mounted at the lower end of the probe rod. In a bypass tube, select the position of the centering component such that it is below the lower vessel connection tube and hence below the min. adjustment point. 1 2 3 10 Fig. 7: Examples of the position of the spacer or the centering weight 1 Rod probe with spacer (plastic) 2 Cable probe with centering weight 3 Spacer (plastic) on the gravity weight of a cable probe

2 Mounting 2.2 Spacers - Plastic (K1, K2, K3) 2 1 2 1 2 2 Fig. 8: Mounting the spacer 1 Spacer (K1, K2, K3) for tube inside diameter 100 mm (4") 2 Retaining ring 1. Measure the diameter of the standpipe or bypass tube and adapt the spacers accordingly. The notches on the 4-arm spacer allow simple trimming down to tube diameters DN 50 (2") and DN 80 (3"). For cutting, use a metal saw or a pair of strong pincers or side cutters. 2. The spacer should be mounted at the lower end of the probe rod. Use as few spacers as possible. With rod probes, one spacer at the probe end is usually sufficient. If several spacers are required, they should be mounted large distances apart. Determine where a spacer should be placed and mark the position. 3. Slide the retaining ring (2) onto the rod of the probe. Tip: Wear gloves when sliding the parts onto the rod or use a piece of thin tubing With probes of diameter 12 mm (0.47 in), use the supplied tool to slide the spacers. If you have shortened the probe, it is helpful to slightly chamfer the end of the rod. 4. Slide a spacer (1) and another retaining ring (2) onto the rod of the probe. 11

2 Mounting The retaining rings fix the spacer in the desired position. A certain clearance is permitted. Note: The retaining rings can be moved only in one direction. If you have already passed the desired position, cut the retaining ring with a side cutter. Use a new retaining ring. 2.3 Spacers - Plastic (open on the side) (K4, K5) 1 Fig. 9: Mounting the spacer (open on the side) 1 Spacer (K4, K5) for tube inside diameter 100 mm (4") 12 1. Measure the diameter of the standpipe or bypass tube and adapt the spacers accordingly. The notches on the 4-arm spacer allow simple trimming down to tube diameters DN 50 (2") and DN 80 (3"). For cutting, use a metal saw or a pair of strong pincers or side cutters. 2. With rod versions of the probe, the spacer should be mounted at the lower end of the probe rod. Use as few spacers as possible. With rod probes, one spacer at the probe end is usually sufficient. If several spacers are required, they should be mounted large distances apart. Determine where a spacer should be placed and mark the position. With cable version, the spacers should be mounted at a min. distance of approx. 1.50 m (5 ft). 3. Plug the spacer (1) from the side onto the rod or cable of the probe.

2 Mounting Note: The spacer may not be moved in the axial direction. The insulation of the cable or rod could be damaged. You can remove the spacer laterally and attach it again at another position. 2.4 Spacers - Metal (M1, M2, M3, M4) 2 1 2 Fig. 10: Mounting the spacer 1 Spacer (M1, M2, M3, M4) M1, M3 - outer ø 49.2 up to 56.3 mm (1.9 up to 2.2 in) M2, M4 - outer ø 66.6 up to 84.9 mm (2.6 up to 3.3 in) 2 Retaining ring 1. The spacer should be mounted at the lower end of the probe rod. 2. Slide the retaining ring (2) onto the rod of the probe. Tip: Wear gloves when sliding the parts onto the rod or use a piece of thin tubing If you have shortened the probe, it is helpful to slightly chamfer the end of the rod. 3. Slide the spacer (1) with open elastic arms upward and an additional retaining ring (2) onto the rod of the probe. The retaining rings fix the spacer in the requested position. 13

2 Mounting Note: The retaining rings can be moved only in one direction. If you have already passed the desired position, cut the retaining ring with a side cutter. Use a new retaining ring. 2.5 Centering weights (G1, G2, G3, G4, G5) 5 1 4 3 2 Mounting the gravity weight 14 Fig. 11: Mounting the centering weight (G1, G2, G3, G4, G5) 1 Threaded pins 2 Centering weight 3 Fixing screw - centering weight 4 Retaining washer (Nordlock ) 5 Inner insert 1.
