Model ER4000 is a retractable, electrical resistance probe commonly used in field and plant applica-
tions. A specially designed packing gland is used with the probe for insertion into or retraction from
a pressurized system without a process shutdown. Standard packing material in the packing gland
is Teflon®. Grafoil® packing can be provided if requested. When the probe element requires replace-
ment, the packing gland assembly may be reused. (Probe packing should also be replaced at this
time.) The probe is designed to mount onto a 1" piping system, but can easily be adapted to fit your
specific requirements. The probe assembly consists of a replaceable insertion rod with an element,
a hermetically sealed connector welded in place, and a packing gland. A safety chain and safety nut
are also provided to prevent blowout. A velocity shield can be added to the assembly if required. The
insertion length (I.L.) is calculated to the end of the shield or to the end of the element if a shield is
not present. Probe length can be specified by the customer. For standard probes, the maximum inser-
tion length is given in the chart below. Several standard elements are available to meet your specific
needs.
