Engineered explicitly for critical rotating machinery monitoring, this rugged enclosure system shields delicate proximity probes mounted on high-speed steam turbines, heavy-duty centrifugal compressors, and massive industrial pumps. It eliminates measurement anomalies caused by high-pressure lubrication leaks, aggressive chemical washdowns, and shifting ambient temperatures. The hardware integrates seamlessly with the Bently Nevada 3500 monitoring platform and plant-wide Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD). By maintaining precise, rigid sensor alignment, this assembly guarantees the delivery of highly accurate, uncorrupted shaft vibration and axial position data directly to your core control layers, preventing unexpected downtime and securing continuous operational safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOption Code Suffix Breakdown\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e21000 - Base System Style\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesignates the standard explosion-proof housing series optimized for harsh, certified hazardous industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e16 - Cable Fitting Entry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelects a 3\/4-14 NPT conduit connection thread equipped with an integrated internal plastic cable grip to lock and seal field wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e10 - Probe Sleeve Thread\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachined with a standard 3\/8-24 UNF internal thread architecture to accept matching proximity probe sleeve options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e15 - Housing Seat Variation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifies a specialized 1.5-inch counterbore or stepped seat configuration for non-standard mounting flanges on the machine casing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e071 - Standoff Length Rating\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDefines an exact 7.1-inch total external standoff distance to lift the junction head clear of thick thermal insulation blankets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e03 - Internal Probe Penetration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfigures a maximum of 3.0 inches of variable linear sleeve adjustment range for precise internal sensor positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e02 - Exploded Field Fittings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes standard external field wiring conduit adapters to complete immediate flame-proof coupling installations on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStructural and Mechanical Parameters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"firstRow\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBently Nevada (Baker Hughes)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePart Number\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e21000-16-10-15-071-03-02\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnited States\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial Composition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLow-Copper Die-Cast Aluminum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDead Weight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.76 kg (3.88 lbs)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShipping Cubage Dimensions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e280 mm x 165 mm x 145 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarmonized Schedule Code (HS Code)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9031900090\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTemperature Threshold\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-40°C to +100°C (-40°F to +212°F)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTotal Sleeve Adjustability\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0.0 to 3.0 Inches Variable Penetration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIngress Security Code\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIP66 \/ NEMA 4X Environmental Protection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHazardous Location Compliance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eATEX, IECEx, Class I Division 1 Certified\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOn-Site Field Commissioning Matrix\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialized Seating Verification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExamine the 1.5-inch stepped seat counterbore interface on the machine casing before mounting.
