any commercially available weld-on fitting or pipe saddle. The adapter shall have two ethylene-propylene
O- Rings. The sensor will have all electronics epoxy-sealed with a 2-conductor, shielded cable extending
out through a 1/2" conduit connection on the top of the sensor. Insertion of the sensor into any pipe size
shall be 11/2" from the inside of wall to the end of the sensor housing. The sensor shall operate in line
pressures up to 400 psi and liquid temperatures up to 220° F, and operate in flows of 1 foot per second
to 30 feet per second in pipes of 3" diameter up to 40" in diameter with linearity of + 1% and repeatability
of + 1%.
