2.1 Safety messages
Instructions and procedures in this section may require special precautions to ensure the safety
of the personnel performing the operations. Please refer to the following safety messages
before performing any operation in this section.
2.2 Installation checklist
The following list is a summary of the steps required to complete a Rosemount 1495 Orifice
Plate installation. If this is an entirely new installation, begin with step 1. If the Flange Union is
already in place, verify that the orifice flange size and rating match the recommended specifica-
tions, and begin with step 5.
1. Determine where the Rosemount 1495 Orifice Plate, 1496 Flange Union is to be placed
within the piping system.
2. Establish the proper orientation as determined by the intended service for the orifice plate.
3. Review Appendix B: Recommended Installation Requirements .
4. Confirm the Rosemount 1495 and/or 1496 configurations.
5. Measure the pipe’s internal diameter (ID), preferably at 1 x ID from the orifice flange
(upstream or downstream), or at the tap location for flange taps.
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury:
* Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation.
