Bently Nevada 21000-00-00-00-113-00-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 21000-00-00-00-113-00-02 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications and Cost Impact

Refineries and Chemical Plants

In hazardous areas classified as Class I Divisions 1 and 2 Groups C and D, this housing provides intrinsic safety for proximity probes. The 11.3-inch penetration allows installation through thick vessel walls, reducing the need for custom adapters and saving engineering costs.

Power Generation Turbines

For steam and gas turbines, reliable vibration monitoring is critical. The CSA Type 4 enclosure withstands high-pressure washdowns and corrosive atmospheres, minimizing replacement frequency and maintenance labor.

Pipeline Compressor Stations

With T5 rating at -50°C to +40°C and T4 at -50°C to +80°C, this housing operates in extreme climates. The 304 stainless steel sleeve resists corrosion, avoiding premature failure and associated production losses.

Installation and Setup Guidance

When installing the 21000-00-00-00-113-00-02, ensure the mounting thread (3/4-14 NPT) matches the conduit or standoff adapter. The probe sleeve length of 11.3 inches must be selected to position the probe tip at the correct gap from the target. Use the provided O-rings and thread seal to maintain explosion-proof integrity. For North American hazardous locations, order the CA21000 variant if required.

Maintenance and Reliability

Inspect the housing annually for signs of corrosion or damage to the aluminum body and stainless steel sleeve. Verify that all O-rings and seals remain intact to preserve the CSA Type 4 rating. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could compromise the surface finish. Regular inspection prevents leakage and ensures consistent vibration data, reducing overall lifecycle costs.

Cost-Effective Protection for Critical Machinery

Industrial rotating machinery requires precise vibration monitoring to avoid catastrophic failures. The Bently Nevada 21000-00-00-00-113-00-02 Proximity Probe Housing Assembly provides a rugged, explosion-proof enclosure for reverse mount proximity probes, ensuring reliable data collection in the harshest environments. By investing in this housing, you reduce unplanned downtime and extend the life of your monitoring system.

Compatibility and Integration

This housing is designed for reverse mount proximity probes and is fully compliant with API 670 standards. The optional standoff adapter (must be ordered separately if needed) allows flexible mounting configurations. For intrinsically safe applications, pair with hazardous area approved proximity probes.

Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice

When ordering the 21000-00-00-00-113-00-02, verify that the probe option and cable length suffix codes match your requirements (00 = not required). The mounting thread option 02 specifies 3/4-14 NPT.
