REMOTE SEALS OVERVIEW REMOTE SEAL SYSTEM SELECTION
The S6 Series Seal System is a protective device used to CRITERIA
isolate 600T series transmitters from the process fluid.

• keep the capillary length as short as possible
• The process fluid has solids in suspension or is highly

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.

The S6 Series Seal Systems are available with a variety of


remote seal models identified as follows :

• S6A Sanitary Aseptic Remote Seal


• S6C Chemical Tee Remote Seal
• S6E Extended Diaphragm Remote Seal
• S6F Flush Diaphragm Remote Seal
• S6R Off-Line Flanged Connection Remote Seal
• S6S Sanitary Remote Seal
• S6T Off-Line Threaded Connection Remote Seal
• S6U Threaded Union Remote Seal
• S6W Wafer Remote Seal

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.

Maximum Working Pressure


Union Connection: 10.3 MPa, 103 bar, 1500 psi maximum
