J8A Temperature/Pressure Recorder-Receiver Section 1
Section 1—Introduction
General
The Barton Model J8A Temperature and Pressure Recorder-Receiver is a
versatile and rugged instrument designed for general temperature and pres-
sure applications. It records monitored temperature and pressure on an 8-inch
diameter chart. Up to four elements or bellows-type receiver elements may be
used in any combination to operate up to four individual recording pens.
Main Components
Static Pressure Systems
The static pressure system consists of a helical bourdon tube connected
through tubing to system piping. The static pressure element measures the
static pressure in a piping system for 0-30 inches of mercury vacuum to
0-30,000 psi. For a list of elements and ranges, see Table 7.3—Static Pressure
Elements on page 30.
Thermal Systems
The thermal systems consist of a spiral bourdon tube, a capillary, and a bulb.
All parts are made of stainless steel. The bulb is fitted with a bendable exten-
sion, and the capillary is protected with stainless steel armor.
Receiver Bellows
The J8A may be connected to a pneumatic transmitter to record the 3-15 or
6-30 psi output signal of the transmitter. The instrument may also be con-
nected to record the output of a pneumatic transmitter simultaneously with the
direct system pressure.
Recording Mechanism
The recording mechanism is a linkage and pen system that permanently re-
cords data. It converts mechanical inputs from the pressure, temperature, and
receiver elements to link lines on a revolving chart. All operative parts of the
recorder mechanism are made of stainless steel for a longer field life. The pen
mount is exceptionally rugged. All lines are adjustable. Screw adjustments for
zero, range, and linearity assure fast and accurate calibration.
Chart Drive
A variety of chart drives are available. Both electrical and spring-wound chart
drives fit a wide variety of chart speeds and time intervals that reduce main-
tenance time (See Section 5—Troubleshooting on page 19). All chart drives are
3
Section 1 J8A Temperature/Pressure Recorder-Receiver
interchangeable and fitted with a recorder hub clip that features a simple yet
positive method of locking the chart in place. Explosion-proof electrical chart
drives are available.
Case
The J8A is housed in an aluminum case with a hinged door providing access
for chart changes and calibration adjustment. The case is finished in a black,
polyurethane electrostatic powder paint that is highly resistant to weather-
ing, scratches, marring, and industrial fumes. The Model J8A connects to the
system or transmitter through fittings in the bottom of the case.

Section 2—Theory of Operation
General
Pressure, temperature, and receiver elements in the J8A are connected by tub-
ing or pipe to measure system pressure, system temperature, and transmitter
output (Figure 2.1).
The capillary tubes from the static pressure element and receiver element con-
nect directly to the piping system and are filled with the process system fluid.
The thermal system is Class V mecury filled system. See Instrument Specifi-
cations on page 33 for details.
A chart drive mechanism turns the chart at a selected speed. The chart may
be either an electrical motor or a mechanical, spring-wound type motor (see
Table 7.2—Chart Drives on page 29).
Static Pressure Element

The sensor element, a bourdon tube, consists of a slightly flattened cross-
section of tubing coiled into a helix or flat spiral. The outer end of the tubing
is sealed and attaches to a drive arm (see lever arm assembly diagram). The
open end of the tubing at the base connects to the tubing. The tubing connec-
tion attaches to the tubing of the static pressure connection on the back of
the recorder case. The static pressure connection connects the static pressure
element to the system piping.
Pressure Element
(Bourdon Tube)
5
Figure 2.1—J8A recorder components
Static pressure introduced through the tubing into the static pressure element
causes the spiral or helix to unwind. Conversely, a reduction of pressure
within the tubing causes the element to wind up more tightly. This motion
is transmitted through the lever arm assembly and its intermediate linkage
to the pen shaft, which controls the movement of the recorder pen. The pen
transcribes the motion onto a rotating chart to permanently record changes in
static pressure in the process system.
Temperature Element
The thermal system senses temperature changes, using the thermal expansion
principle. Temperature changes cause thermal expansion and contraction of
mercury in the bulb. When heated mercury expands, it increases in volume,
causing the bourdon tube to exert mechanical force. The bourdon tube move-
ment is transmitted through mechanical linkage to a recording pen (Figure
2.2—Temperature element on page 7).
Thermal Bulb
The thermal bulb acts as the sensing element. Its physical and dimensional
characteristics determine response time of the system. Large surface area to
volume, minimum wall thickness, and high heat conductivity are desirable for
high speed temperature response. The metal used in thermal bulb fabrication
should have a minimum coefficient of expansion and low specific heat factor
— stainless steel is used in the Model J8A thermal bulb.
Capillary Tubing
The capillary tubing provides a thermal seal between the temperature bulb
and bourdon tube. The tubing, fabricated from thick-walled stainless steel,
minimizes the internal volume for mercury. The capillary is provided with
1/4-inch spiral armor to assure a strong and pliable transmission line between
the primary element and the secondary mechanism (bourdon tube).
Filling Fluid
Mercury is used as the filling fluid, because of its high energy generation per
unit of temperature change, wide temperature ranges, and relatively low effect
due to ambient temperature variations. Consult your nearest Cameron repre-
sentative for information on other filling fluids.
Secondary Mechanism
The measuring element is a precision-wound stainless steel bourdon tube,
which converts the volumetric expansion and contraction of the mercury-fill
6
to an angular output of 17 degrees nominal for the full temperature range.

Section 3—Installation
General
The instrument should be inspected at time of unpacking to detect any dam-
age that may have occurred during shipment.
The following practices should be observed upon installation:
Distances — The distances between the temperature bulb and the recorder
case should be minimized. Maximum allowable distances are:
VA (fully compensated system): 100 feet
VB (case compensated system): 20 feet
Elevation — Maximum elevation of the temperature bulb with respect to the
recorder must not exceed 30 feet. The percent of zero shift can be calibrated
by the following:
Percent Zero Shift = 5 X ± Elevation (feet)

Span (Degree Fahrenheit)
Process Temperature — The normal operating temperature ranges for Class V

systems are listed in the Specifications list on page 33. The maximum (mo-
mentary) overrange limit is 20% of the total temperature range, while the
(momentary) underrange temperature limit of a properly pre-loaded system is
-50°F (-45°C).
Vibration — Vibration can be minimized by mounting the instrument on a

secure support.
Mounting
IMPORTANT: The instrument should be mounted as level as possible. Limit drill

penetration and remove chips. Temperature bulb capillary must precede
the recorder case through the panel cutout. Do not apply wrench or bar
pressure to the recorder case, when using a thread mount.
Flush or Panel Mounting

To use a flush or panel mount, perform the following steps:
1. Cut opening in panel to the dimensions shown in Section 6, Outline
Dimension Drawings.
2. Drill out pilot holes located on top and bottom of case. Use a
No. F drillbit (0.257 in.) and a 5/16 in.-18 tap as required.
3. Attach two flush mounting brackets to bottom of case using the enclosed
self-tapping screws.
9
4. Pass instrument through the panel cutout.

5. Attach remaining flush mounting bracket and install panel mounting
screws.
Pipe Mounting
To mount the recorder to a 2-in. pipe, perform the following steps:
1. Place a suitable length of 2-inch pipe into a well-secured floor or wall
flange; or if preferred, attach the 2-inch pipe to existing pipe with a
saddle that is fitted with a 2-inch pipe.
2. Attach the recorder to the pipe, orient the instrument, and tighten retain-
ing screws.
Bulb Mounting
IMPORTANT—When locating the thermal bulb within a furnace, tank, line, etc., avoid
dead spots where fluid circulation is sluggish and temperature is not re-
sponsive. Elevation of the temperature bulb, with respect to the recorder,
will cause a slight zero shift.
To install the temperature element, perform the following steps. Refer to

Figure 2.2—Temperature element on page 7 as needed.
1. If the temperature system is furnished with a thermal well, thread the
thermal well into a 3/4-inch NPT threaded connection and secure with a
1-1/8-inch wrench. If no thermal well is used, proceed with step 3.
2. If a thermal well is being used, insert the temperature bulb into the ther-
mal well to its full depths.
3. If no thermal well is being used, insert the bulb to the desired depth.
4. Secure the gland nut into the thermal well or existing 1/2-inch NPT con-
nection with a 7/8-inch wrench.
5. With the bulb properly installed, secure the packing nut into the gland
nut.
Adjust the zero at the recorder to compensate for zero shift due to elevation.
See Temperature Pen Calibration on page 13 for the adjustment procedure.
Chart Installation
Perform the following steps to install the chart:
1. Open the recorder door.
2. Release the chart lock (located on the chart drive hub).
3. Raise the pen lifter arm.
4. Slide the chart between the pen(s) and the chart plate. Insert the chart in
the chart guides in the chart plate, and locate the hole in the chart onto
the chart hub. Place the pressure chart onto the chart hub.
10
5. Lower the pen lifter arm and position the chart to place the pen(s) on the
desired chart time line.
6. Secure the chart in place with the chart hub lock.
Calibration Check
Pressure System
Check the calibration of the pressure system prior to placing the recorder into
service. Refer to the illustration and photo on the next page.
1. Connect the instrument into the calibration setup as shown on next page.
2. Apply zero pressure (3 or 6 psi for pneumatic transmitter output pressure
recording) and adjust the pen to chart zero (zero adjust screw).
3. Apply 100% pressure. Verify that the pen moves across scale to the 100%
pressure indication.
4. Apply 50% pressure. Verify that the pen indicates 50% pressure on the
chart.
5. If the pen does not accurately indicate the pressure being applied, further
adjustments are necessary; perform the calibration procedure outlined in
Static Pressure Pen Calibration on page 14.
Figure 3.1—Pressure system calibration
Temperature System
All instruments are calibrated at the factory and normally do not require more
than a check before startup. The Model J8A has been calibrated at 0, 25, 50,
75, and 100% of full temperature range and checked for proper overtravel.
Because of the extensive procedure and elaborate test stand requirements
11
needed to simulate operating conditions, it is recommended that only a zero

check be performed. If the temperature system appears to be out of calibra-
tion, a complete calibration should be performed as outlined in Temperature
Pen Calibration on page 13.
Piping
Connect the pressure element to the system pressure or transmitter output
using tubing or pipe. The pressure connection on the outside of the recorder
case is 1/4-inch NPT, female.
Operation
To place the instrument into operation, proceed as follows:
1. Turn on the drive. Verify that the pen has ink and is in contact with chart.
2. Turn on the pressure to the recorder.
To remove the instrument from service:
1. Turn off the pressure to the recorder.
2. Turn off the chart drive.
3. Lift the pen from the chart.
12
Section 4—Maintenance and Calibration
Maintenance
Generally, Barton recorders require no maintenance other than replacement of
the chart, replacement of pens, winding of the spring-wound chart drives, and
occasional calibration. In addition, the operator should periodically check the
door seal for wear and the pressure fittings for tightness. See Table 4.1 for a
list of tools required for routine maintenance.
Table 4.1—Required Tools

Tool Purpose
1/8-inch open-end wrench Calibration adjustment (zero adjust)
5/64-inch Allen wrench Calibration adjustment
5/64-inch open-end wrench Capillary mounting nut
1-1/8-inch open-end wrench Thermal well
7/8-inch open-end wrench Gland nut
3/4-inch open-end wrench Packing nut
Phillips screwdriver Adjustments
Periodic Maintenance
Periodically inspect and clean the thermal well. In services where the temper-
ature bulb or thermal well is in contact with semisolids, sludge build up can
appreciably affect the heat conductivity of the sensing element. Inspect and
clean the temperature bulb or well in the following manner:
1. Carefully remove the temperature bulb from the thermal well by loosen-
ing the packing nut and slipping it back on the bulb extension. Loosen
the jam nut and remove the temperature bulb.
2. Remove the thermal well from the socket.
3. With a fine grade steel wool, remove excess residue from the temperature
bulb and thermal well.
4. Examine the capillary tubing for damage or kinking.
Temperature Pen Calibration

IMPORTANT: Verify that all linkage is free. Adjust range arm and drive arm at precisely
the same distance back of the case. Adjust the lever arm and pen zero
adjust screws to their midpoints all 90° midscale linkage angles must be
measured.
Calibrate the temperature pen after replacing the thermal element. The com-
plete calibration procedure is as follows:
1. Apply 50% of the total temperature range.
13
2. Adjust the drive arm and the driven arms to approximately 90° angles
with the intermediate arms.
3. Reduce temperature to zero or starting point of the temperature range.
Reset zero with zero adjusting screw.
4. Apply 100% temperature and set the pen to full scale by turning the
adjusting screw.
5. Reduce temperature to zero or starting point and check zero reading. If
pen is correct, proceed with step 7.
6. If zero adjustment is required, repeat steps 3 through 5 until desired ac-
curacy is maintained.
7. Apply 50% temperature and observe pen indication.
a. If pen indicates high or low, adjust drive link to make a correction
approximately 40 times the error — in the direction of the error.
b. Reset the pen to the 50% line by slipping the pen at the range arm
pivot point.
c. Repeat this step (7), as necessary.
8. Reduce temperature to zero or starting point and reset zero.
a. If zero offset is minor, reset zero with zero adjust screw.
b. If zero offset is major, reset zero by loosening bourdon mounting
screws and rotate to approximately zero. Set precise zero w/zero
adjust screw.
9. Repeat steps 4 through 8 until desired accuracy is maintained.
Static Pressure Pen Calibration

To calibrate the static pressure pen and linkage, proceed as follows:
1. Adjust the static range arm and drive arm at precisely the same distance
from the back of the case.
2. Place static drive link in the fourth hole from the pen shaft of the range
arm.
3. Adjust static pressure linkage to form 90° angles between the drive link
(see above illustration) and pivot points of the associated linkage, as fol-
lows:
a. Apply 50% static pressure, center thumb nut on the drive arm, and
arrange static linkage as shown in illustration above.
b. Set a 90° angle between drive arm & link. Tighten clamp block
screw.
c. Vary the length of link to get a 90° angle between range arm and
link.
d. Slip the range arm on pen shaft to 50% on chart.
4. Release pressure and reset the pen to zero indication, using pen zero
adjust screw for fine adjustment (10% or less). For major adjustments
(more than 10%), loosen range arm lock screw and slip the pen to zero on
chart and retighten lock screw.
14
Figure 4.1—Static pressure pen calibration
IMPORTANT—It may be necessary to raise or lower the pivot point of the drive link on
the range arm, as in step 3. If counterclockwise movement of thumb nut
(step 5) does not increase span sufficiently, move the pivot pin up to next
pivot hole; if clockwise, movement of the thumb nut does not decrease
span sufficiently, move pivot pin down to the next pivot hole.
5. Apply 100% pressure and observe the pen. Make the necessary adjust-
ments by turning the drive arm thumb nut counterclockwise if the pen
is slightly underranged and clockwise if the pen is slightly overranged.
Repeat zero and 100% adjustment until calibration at these two points is
achieved.
6. Apply 50% pressure and observe pen indication.
a. If pen indicates high or low, adjust drive link to make a correction
approximately 40 times the error — in the direction of the error.
b. Reset the pen to the 50% line by slipping the pen shaft at the range
arm pivot point.
c. Repeat this step (7), as necessary.
15
8. Release pressure and reset the pen to zero indication, using pen zero
adjust screw for precise adjustment.
9. Repeat steps 4 through 8 until calibration of zero, linearity, and span (0%,
50%, and 100% indication) is achieved.
10. Assure that range arm lock screws, thumb nut lock screw, and link screws
are tight.
11. Unlock the recorder hub clip and remove temporary calibration chart.
12. Replace the chart plate by sliding it into the chart plate retainer brackets
and engaging each side into the chart plate latches.
Static Pressure Element Replacement

If the static pressure element needs replacement, proceed as follows:
1. Close all valves and turn off the power switch to the recorder.
2. Separate the drive link arm by opening the link table and disengaging the
pivot pin from the clamp.
3. Loosen the clamp block screw on the lever arm assembly and separate
the drive arm from the static pressure element shaft.
4. Disconnect the tubing from the static pressure element at the tubing con-
nection (refer to Figure 4.1—Static pressure pen calibration on page 15).
5. Remove the mounting screws from the static pressure element and dis-
card the damaged element.
6. Install the new element, using the old mounting screws.
7. Connect tubing to the element at the tubing connection.
8. Assemble the lever arm assembly onto the static pressure element shaft;
do not tighten the clamp block screw yet.
9. Connect the drive link to the drive arm by engaging the pivot pin and
locking the link tab into place.
10. Align the static pressure linkage (range arm, drive link, and drive arm) so
that it lies in the same plane without binding or bending.
11. Tighten clamp block screw.
12. Calibrate in accordance with the procedure outlined in Static Pressure
Pen Calibration on page 14.
Temperature System Replacement

Perform the following steps to replace the temperature system:
1. Loosen packing and gland nuts. Remove temp. bulb from thermal well.
2. Loosen capillary retaining nut and slip back on tubing.
3. Remove four temperature element connection screws located on the back
side of the recorder case where capillary tubing enters the case.
4. Remove union bracket by slipping the bracket onto the capillary connect-
ing tubing. Slip the bracket through the slit provided.
5. Remove the intermediate drive arm from bourdon drive extension.
16
6. Remove the bourdon mounting screws and remove complete temperature

unit by feeding the capillary through the entry hole provided.
7. To install new element, reverse above procedure.
8. Calibrate in accordance with procedures outlined in Temperature Pen
Calibration on page 13.
Chart Drive Replacement

To replace the chart drive, proceed as follows:
1. Release the pressure to the recorder.
2. Turn off the chart drive.
3. Raise the pen lifter and remove the chart and chart plate.
4. Remove the chart drive mounting screws and remove the chart drive
from the recorder case.
5. Position the new chart drive at the back of the recorder case and attach
with mounting screws.
6. Replace the chart plate and the chart. Lower the pen to the recording
position.
7. Check the time line on first pen from chart, zero, and span elements.
Linkage Adjustments
Tightening the range arm and drive arm lock screws fingertight is often not
tight enough; tightening them more than a full turn will often break them.
To correctly tighten linkage screws, perform the following steps. Refer to

Figure 4.2 - Linkage adjustments on page 18 as needed.
1. Tighten the lock screw until snug.
2. Hold the drive arm at the clamp block by hand or with a 1/4-inch open
end wrench. If a wrench is used, place it between the torque tube shaft
or bearing. (In the case of the range arm lock screw, place the wrench
between the pen shaft and lock screw.)
3. Tighten the lock screw 1/3 to 1/2 turn beyond snug.
4. Test for tightness by moving the free end of drive arm approximately
1/2-inch in either direction. The drive arm should spring back with no
yielding.
