INTRODUCTION
TheS26SeriesSealSystemisaprotectivedeviceusedtoisolatetransmittersfromtheprocessfluid.
Whenusedwithoutdiaphragmseals,thesetransmittersaregenerallyconnectedtoprocesspipingorprocessvesselbyimpulse
lines. The process fluid leaves its enclosure, fills the impulse lines, and enters the body of the transmitter. For certain
applications, it is necessary to prevent the process fluid from leaving its enclosure. The seal system provides a flexible
diaphragm seal between the process fluid and a liquid filled capillary tube connected to the body of the transmitter. The
diaphragmisolatestheprocessfluidwhilethefilledcapillarytubehydraulicallytransmitstheprocesspressuretothetransmitter

Somereasonswhyanisolatingsealisrequiredare:
The process fluid is highly corrosive. Remote seals offer a much wider choice of corrosion resistant materials

INSTALLATION
Locatingthetransmitterandremoteseal
This section provides guidelines for determining where to locate the transmitter and seals for specific applications. Proper
locationisanimportantfactorinobtainingaccuratemeasurements.

General
The transmitters with remote seals are suitable for use on the following pressure and differential pressure measurement
applications:
FLOWMEASUREMENT
LIQUIDLEVELMEASUREMENT
INTERFACELEVELMEASUREMENT
DENSITYMEASUREMENT
GAUGEPRESSUREMEASUREMENT
ABSOLUTEPRESSUREMEASUREMENT
Eachapplicationhascertainuniquerequirementswhichinfluencetheselectionofthetransmitterandseallocations.Ingeneral
theflowandgaugepressureapplicationsallowthegreatestflexibilityinselectionofalocation.Liquidlevelapplicationsimpose
restrictionsontherelativeelevationsofthetransmitterandsealswhenthetankoperatesundervacuumandabsolutepressure
applications impose similar restrictions when the lower range value is less than atmospheric pressure (nominally 14.7 psia).
Transmitterswith remote seals measure pressure from two sources; (1) the applied process pressure or differential pressure,
and(2)theheadpressuredevelopedbytheweightoftheliquidcolumninthesealsystem.Theheadpressuresareafunctionof
transmitterandseallocationsasfollows:
Two Seals On a DP transmitter with a seal on both the high and low sides, the transmitter measures the head pressure
resulting from any difference in elevation between the seals and the output change is directly proportional to the elevation
difference. The head pressure has no effect on transmitter output when both seals are at the same elevation. Changing the
elevationofthesealsrelativetothetransmitterhasnoeffectaslongastheelevationofonesealrelativetotheotherisnot
changed.
OneSealOnatransmitterwithoneseal,theheadpressurefromthesealsystemismeasureddirectly.Anychangeinthe

theelevationchange.
Note:whenhandlingand/orinstallingthetransmitterwithremoteseal(s),pleaseconsiderthattheminimumbendingradiusof
thecapillarysystemis10cm(3.9in).
For most flow, gauge pressure, and absolute pressure installations the effect of head pressure is relatively minor and can be
canceled out by adjusting zero with the transmitter and seals in their installation position while a known process pressure is
applied. For liquid level installations, head pressures have a more significant impacton calibrationrequirementsbecause the
natureoftheinstallationrequiresasubstantialdifferenceinelevationbetweenthehighandlowsideseals.SeetheLiquidLevel

FLOWMEASUREMENT
Differential pressure transmitters with two remote seals can be used for both
horizontalandverticalflowmeasurementinstallations.BymeanofaWedgeFlow

When a transmitter with one seal is used to measure level in a pressurized tank, a compensating leg must be connected

Iftheprocessvaporisnotreadilycondensable,orifthecompensatinglegisatahighertemperaturethanthetankinterior,adry
leg can be used (see Figure 3a and 3b). A trap installed at the bottom of the leg minimizes the possibility of condensate
collectinginthetransmitterbody.
When the process vapor is condensable, a wet leg is recommended. The wet leg is filled with a suitable liquid to maintain a
constantpressureonthelowsideofthetransmitter(seeFigures4aand4b).Thisapproachavoidstheproblemofprocessvapor

ClosedTankInstallationVacuumService
When the transmitter is used on a tank in which the operating pressure range includes pressures below atmospheric, it is
essential that the transmitter be located below the highpressure seal datum line (see Figures 2a and 2b for two seal
installations, Figures 3a, 3b, 4a and 4b for one seal installation). The recommended minimum distance between the primary
datumlineandthehighsealdatumlineis1ft(0.3m).Sealelementlocationrequirementsforvacuumservicearethesameasfor

Determination of the span and range values for a specific installation must take into account the level change, elevation
