WARNING ! READ BEFORE INSTALLATION

Fluid hammer and surges can destroy any pressure transducer and must always be avoided. A pressure snubber should be installed to eliminate the damaging hammer effects. Fluid hammer occurs when a liquid flow is suddenly stopped, as with quick closing solenoid valves. Surges occur when flow is suddenly begun, as when a pump is turned on at full power or a valve is quickly opened.
Barksdale pressure transducers having a pressure range 2,000 psi and higher have a built in pressure surge protection in the input port. The design is such that an orifice is made an integral part of the pressure port. Designed with the upstream side of the orifice as a sharp corner, it acts as a very effective protection. Other orifice devices can be installed upstream of the pressure transducer in the piping system for extra protection where the system engineer requires it. Liquid surges are particularly damaging to pressure transducers if the pipe is originally empty. To avoid damaging surges, fluid lines should remain full (if possible), pumps should be brought up to power slowly, and valves opened slowly. To avoid damage from both fluid hammer and surges, a surge chamber should be installed, and a pressure snubber should be installed on every transducer. Symptoms of fluid hammer and surge’s damaging effects:

  1. Pressure transducer exhibits an output at zero pressure (large zero offset). If zero offset is less than 10% FS, user can usually re-zero meter, install proper snubber and continue monitoring pressures.
  2. Pressure transducer output remains constant regardless of pressure.
  3. In severe cases, there will be no output.

TORQUE REQUIREMENTS
Apply pipe compound sparingly to male pipe threads only. Avoid pipe strain on Transducer housing by properly supporting and aligning piping. Apply wrench to the hex flats of fittings only, then tighten the connection. Adequate support of piping and proper mounting of the pressure transducer should be made to avoid excessive shock and vibration.
TORQUE TO 125 – 150 pound inches.
CAUTION: For steam service, install a condensate loop (pigtail or steam siphon tube) between the steam line and the pressure transducer.
