Oil pipe construction

Not supplied by Vaisala.

The amount of required oil pipe construction materials depends on the intended pipe length. Two pipes are needed, one for intake and one for returning the oil. Using the recommended pipe material, the maximum allowed length of a single pipe is 10 m (33 ft).

Table 1. Pipe options
Specification Mineral oil devices (recommended) Mineral oil devices (minimum) Synthetic ester devices
Max. pipe length 10 m (33 ft) 5 m (16 ft) 10 m (33 ft)
Inner diameter 7 … 8 mm (0.28 … 0.31 in) 4 … 7 mm (0.157 … 0.28 in) 8 mm (0.31 in)
Outer diameter 10 mm 6 mm 10 mm
Wall thickness 1 … 1.5 mm (0.039 … 0.059 in) 1 … 1.5 mm (0.039 … 0.059 in) 1 mm (0.039 in)
Available adapters (outer diameter) 3/8" 1/4" 3/8"
  • Recommended oil pipe material: stainless steel tubing with 10‑mm (0.39‑in) outer diameter. Reserve enough pipe material to connect the oil intake and return valves to the DGA monitor.
  • Adapters for connecting the oil pipes to the valves on the transformer

  • Adapters for connecting the oil pipes to the DGA monitor, if not using the recommended tubing size (10‑mm (0.39‑in) outer diameter). Optional accessories for connecting 3/8" and 1/4" outer diameter tubing are available from Vaisala.

  • Pipe fittings for joining pipe sections
