GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model 750 is an economical general purpose rigid probe
for use with Robertshaw capacitance instruments. It is used for level
measuring applications involving liquids or dry materials. Available
either bare (non-insulated) or Teflon insulated for use in conductive
solutions. The Teflon electrode insulation has a Teflon wall thickness of
1/16" over a 7/32" 316 stainless steel sensing rod. The Teflon insulated
probe is recommended for use on low viscosity liquids and low to medium
density granular materials. (For abrasive or agitated products, see
Robertshaw Model 728B Heavy Duty probes.)
The Model 750 Probe has been designed to ensure long,
trouble-free life. Extra tight fitting Teflon insulation has been
incorporated into the design of the Model 750 Probe series. This
insulation is continuous through the total length of the probe, including
the gland. If a seal should break down and allow leakage into the gland,
this internal construction is such that the measurement will not be
affected and reliable readings will continue.
The Model 750 Probe, except as noted, conforms to the
requirements of the National Association Of Corrosion Engineers (NACE)
specification MR0175-88 (Material requirements For Resistance To Sulfide
Stress Cracking For Oilfield Equipment).
APPLICATION DATA
When
a probe is used with on-off (point level) instruments, it may be installed
in the vessel either horizontally or vertically. For extremely small
differential (deadband), the probe should be mounted in a horizontal
position at the desired level point.
If the probe is to be used on a continuous level
measurement application, the probe must be mounted in the vessel in a
vertical position. For low dielectric liquid applications, the Model 750
probe offers a concentric shield option over the sensing electrode.
Various gland materials and/or optional flanges are
readily available to meet particular requirements.
