Mechanical installation

4.1 Important precautions during installation

• Handle the transducer carefully.
• Do not overload the transducer.
• Where there is a risk that the transducer might burst and endanger per
sonal safety if overloaded, additional safety measures need to be taken.

4.2 General installation guidelines

The forces must as far as possible act on the transducer in precisely the di
rection of measurement. Torsional and bending moments, eccentric loadings
and lateral forces lead to measurement errors, and if the limit values are ex
ceeded the transducer can be destroyed. Lateral forces include components
corresponding to process quantities that may be obliquely introduced. As an
aid to installation, HBM supplies jointed eyelets for series U2B transducers as
in Section 7. These aids to installation prevent the introduction of torsional
and bending moments as well as lateral and oblique loadings into the transdu
cer.
