4.3.10 For maximum number of remakes, mark the fitting and nut (scribe or ink)
before disassembly. Remake by tightening until marks line up again. A slight
torque rise will be felt indicating the ferrule is being re-sprung into sealing
position. Only after several remakes may it become necessary to advance the
nut slightly past original position. This advance need only be 10
° - 20° (less
than 1/3 of a hex flat).
4.3.11 The Accutube is now prepared for instrument connection and operation.

INSERTION FLOW SENSORS, FLANGE MOUNT: SERIES 24D & 25D
4.4.1
Perform general preparation as listed in Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.4. Note that
with this series, a weld coupling, not a threaded coupling is used for mounting.
In the case of Series 25D the opposite end support is still a threaded coupling.
4.4.2
Place the weld neck flange on top the welded coupling and verify that the
dimension A is as shown in Figure 4.2. This dimension establishes the position
of the sensing ports within the pipe and allows for thermal expansion of the
probe. The allowable tolerance is + 1/16”, -0”.

4.4.3
Tack weld the weld neck flange onto the Weld-O-Let so that the four holes on
the flange straddle the pipe centerline. An imaginary line drawn through any
two adjacent holes should run parallel to pipe centerline or perpendicular to it.
Refer to Figure 4.3.
