Section 3. Installation

This instruction covers installation of the Rosemount 5900 Still-pipe Array 
antenna available for pipe size 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch.

The Rosemount 5900 is designed for still-pipe mounting and can be mounted 
on existing still-pipe flanges without taking the tank out of operation. 

There are two versions available in order to suit various requirements for easy 
installation and maintenance:

• The Rosemount 5900 Still-pipe Array antenna Fixed version. 

This version has a flange for easy mounting when there is no need for 
opening the still-pipe for hand dipping.

• The Rosemount 5900 Still-pipe Array antenna Hinged Hatch version. 

This version is suitable when the still-pipe needs to be opened for hand 
dipping.

The Rosemount 5900 Still-pipe Array antenna fits 5", 6", 8", 10" and 12" 
flanges and pipes. The adaption is accomplished by selecting a suitable 
Still-pipe Array antenna. The gauge has a flange to seal the tank. 

The still pipe must be vertical within 0.5° (0.2 m over 20 m). 

Table 3-3 shows the wide range of schedules and pipe inner diameters that 
the Array antennas can be mounted in.
