11With thermally insulated pipes DO NOT insulate the sensor. High temperatures can damageit.The maximum liquid temperatures are shown on page 32.5 MOUNTING5.1 Pipe adaptor mountingThe sensor is normally supplied mounted in its pipe adaptor. Before welding the adaptor tothe pipe, the sensor must be removed to avoid irreparable damage due to excessivetemperatures.There are two basic types of pipe adaptors: with threaded or with flanged connection.For the smallest pipe diameters (DN40, 50 & 65) the pipe adaptor is supplied welded to ashort length of pipe with a “T” form. For this type just couple it to the pipe by welding orgluing in the case of PVC, PP, PE or other plastics.
