9.3 Inspecting and Cleaning Barrier Diaphragms
Background Depending on the characteristics of the process medium being
measured, sediment or other foreign particles may collect in the process
head cavity/chamber and cause faulty measurement. In addition, the
barrier diaphragm or diaphragms in the transmitters meter body may
become coated with a residue from the process medium. The latter is
also true for e
xternal diaphragms on flange mount and remote seal type
or heads from
spect
or diaphragms. For flange mount and remote seal
diaphragms, you may only need to run a purge line in the tank to rinse
ff the face of the diaphragm.
transmitters.
In most cases, you can readily remove the process head
the transmitters meter body to clean the process head cavity and in
the barrier diaphragm
o
Procedure The procedure in Table 53 outlines the general steps for inspecting and
cleaning barrier diaphragms. You may have to modify the steps to meet
your particular process or transmitter model requirements.
Table 53 Inspecting and Cleaning Barrier Diaphragms
Step Action
1 Close all valves and isolate transmitter from process. Open vent inprocess head to drain fluid from transmitters meter body, if required.
ATTENTION We recommend that you remove the transmitterfrom service and move it to a clean area before taking it apart.
2 Remove nuts from bolts that hold process head or heads to meterbody. Remove process heads and bolts.

Step Action
3 Remove O-ring and clean interior of process head using soft bristlebrush and suitable solvent.
4 Inspect barrier diaphragm for any signs of deterioration or corrosion.Look for possible residue and clean if necessary.
NOTE: If diaphragm is dented, has distorted convolutions or radialwrinkles, performance may be affected. Contact TAC forassistance.
5 Replace O-ring.
ATTENTION
We recommend that you install a new O-ring whenever a processhead is removed for cleaning.
The process head for a GP or an AP transmitter with single-headdesign has two O-ring grooves. A large one which is 2 in (50.8mm) in diameter and a small one which is 1.3 in (33 mm) indiameter as shown in the following illustration. On high-pressure,model STG180, GP transmitters, be sure to use a small O-ring inthe smaller/inner groove. On other models of GP and APtransmitters, use a large O-ring in the larger/outer groove. Neveruse both O-rings together.

Step Action
6 Coat threads on process head bolts with anti-seize compound suchas Neverseize or equivalent.
7 Replace process head or heads and bolts. Finger tighten nuts.
8 Use a torque wrench to gradually tighten nuts to torque rating shownin Table 54 in sequence shown in following illustration. Tighten headbolts in stages of 1/3 full torque, 2/3 full torque, and then full torque.

Always tighten head bolts in
sequence shown and in these
stages:
1. 1/3 full torque
2. 2/3 full torque
3. Full torque
9 Return transmitter to service.
CAUTION Do not exceed the overload rating when placing thetransmitter back into service or during cleaning operations. SeeOverpressure ratings in Section 3 of this manual.
