2-4 Gas Connections

Standard inlet and outlet connections supplied on the Model 5860i are1/

4" compression fittings for flow rates up to 10 slpm, and 3/8" compression

fittings for higher flow rates.

Optional 1/8 compression, VCO

and VCR

connections are available

upon request. Prior to installation, make certain all piping is clean and free

of obstructions. Install the piping in such a manner that permits easy

removal if the instrument is to be removed for cleaning or test bench

troubleshooting.

2-5 Installation (Refer to Figures 2-1 through 2-2)

Recommended installation procedures:

a. The Model 5860i should be located in a clean dry atmosphere

relatively free from shock and vibration.

b. Leave sufficient room for access to the electrical components.

c. Install in such a manner that permits easy removal if the instrument

requires cleaning.

d. The Model 5860i Mass Flowmeter can be installed in any position.

However mounting orientations other than the original factory

calibration (see data sheet) will result in a ±0.5% maximum full scale

shift after re-zeroing.

e. When installing flowmeters with full scale flow rates of 10 slpm or

greater, be aware that sharp, abrupt angles in the system piping

directly upstream of the meter may cause a small shift in accuracy.

If possible have at least 10 pipe diameters of straight tubing up-

stream of the Model 5860i Mass Flowmeter.
