REMOTE SEALS OVERVIEW REMOTE SEAL SYSTEM SELECTION

Remote seals offer the required constant and equal
specific gravity of the pressure transfer fluid on the high
and low sides of the transmitter.
• The transmitter must be located away from the process for
easier maintenance.
The S6 series is available with process connections for ANSI
pipe flanges, wedge flow elements, chemical tees, and
threaded pipe fittings. Extended diaphragm remote seals,
suitable for connection to 3in or 4in flanged tank nozzles or
flanged tees, permit the seal diaphragm to be located flush
with the inside of a tank or pipe. Sanitary and sanitary aseptic
type seals meet the stringent requirements of sanitary food,
dairy, pharmaceutical and Bio Tech applications. All sanitary
seals comply with 3A Sanitary Standard No. 37-01.
The all welded construction assures reliable operation over a
wide range of operating temperature and under vacuum
conditions.

S6A Model Sanitary Aseptic Seal(s)
The sanitary aseptic remote seal is designed to connect to a 4 in. sanitary fitting: either an aseptic tank spud or a 4 in.
Cherry Burrell aseptic ferrule. The tank spud and O-rings are available with the seal element.
NOTE : The tank spud or ferrule required for connection of this seal must be welded to the process vessel prior to
connecting the element. Refer to Installing Sanitary Tank Spuds for the spud mounting dimensions and a
recommended welding and pressure testing procedure. Weld the Cherry Burrell ferrule to the process vessel in
accordance with the manufacturers recommendations.

S6U Model Union Connection Seal(s) (To be used only for gauge pressure)
The union connection remote seal are used exclusively for pressure measurement with the Gauge Pressure Transmitter. The seal is available
with an optional weld bushing, or with an optional chemical tee flange. The remote seal with a weld bushing includes a bushing which provides the
mating surface for the seal element. The union connection seal with a chemical tee flange is designed to connect to any process fitting which
accepts a chemical tee seal element (refer to Chemical Tee Seal for more information). The union seal connects to the chemical tee flange which
serves as an adaptor to permit connection of the union seal to a chemical tee type fitting.
