Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-15-030-03-02 Housing

Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-15-030-03-02 Proximity Probe Housing

Product Introduction

The 31000-16-10-15-030-03-02 is part of the Bently Nevada 31000 series of proximity probe housings. This assembly protects 3300 XL 8 mm probes in demanding plant environments. Specifically, it seals differential pressure between the probe tip and the housing main body.

Furthermore, this model adds a 1.5 in standoff adapter and a 3.0 in probe penetration depth. These features suit thick machine casings and recessed target locations. Additionally, the fittings option includes a cable seal grip with three grommet sizes for flexible cable routing.

The housing carries multiple approvals for global use. Its glass-reinforced PPS body contains conductive fibers for electrostatic dissipation. Meanwhile, stainless steel sleeves and a Neoprene O-ring provide durable sealing.

Technical Specifications

The 31000-16-10-15-030-03-02 supports 3300 XL 8 mm probes with connector option 16. Its probe cable length measures 1.0 m (39 in). Moreover, the standoff adapter option is 15 = 1.5 in, and the probe penetration option is 030 = 3.0 in.

The fittings option 03 provides two plugs, one 3/4-14 NPT fitting, and one 3/4-14 to 1/2-14 NPT stainless steel reducer. It also includes a cable seal grip with grommets for cable sizes of 1/8 to 3/16 in, 1/4 to 5/16 in, and 5/16 to 3/8 in. In addition, the mounting thread option is 02 = 3/4-14 NPT, which is required with a standoff adapter.

Key parameters include:

• Probe Option: 16 = 3300 XL 8 mm probe

• Cable Length: 10 = 1.0 m (39 in)

• Standoff Adapter: 15 = 1.5 in

• Probe Penetration: 030 = 3.0 in

• Fittings: 03 = Two plugs, one 3/4-14 NPT fitting, one reducer, one cable seal grip with grommets

• Mounting Thread: 02 = 3/4-14 NPT

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The housing material is glass-reinforced Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) thermoplastic containing conductive fibers. Besides, the sleeve material and retaining chain use AISI 304 stainless steel. The outer sleeve and exterior screws use AISI 303 stainless steel, and the O-ring material is Neoprene.

Protection ratings include Type 4X certification by CSA and IP66 verification by SC115582-1 (e) 106. Furthermore, CENELEC standard EN50014 covers electrostatic dissipation for hazardous areas.

The temperature rating spans -51°C to +105°C (-60°F to +221°F). The typical weight is 1.2 kg (2.6 lb). The recommended torque for the retaining nut is 29.4 N·m (260 in·lb).

Housing impact strength is certified by BASEEFA for two separate 4 Joule impacts at -39°C and at 115°C. CSA also verified samples to withstand a 7 Joule impact at ambient room temperature. During a strength test, the housing supported 912 N placed about 38 mm from the unsupported end.

Installation Guide

First, confirm that the 1.5 in standoff adapter matches your casing thickness. The 3.0 in penetration depth should reach the probe target correctly. Next, thread the 3/4-14 NPT mounting into the machine wall.

Then, install the 3300 XL 8 mm probe through the housing assembly. The internal Viton O-ring seals the probe case, while the Neoprene O-ring seals the sleeve-to-housing joint. After that, tighten the retaining nut to 29.4 N·m (260 in·lb).

Finally, route the 1.0 m probe cable through the cable seal grip and select the correct grommet size. Use the reducer when a 1/2-14 NPT connection is needed, and close unused ports with the supplied plugs. However, note that the plastic housing is not designed to resist internal or external pressure. Probes are not pressure tested before shipment, so contact the custom design department if you need a pressure seal test.
