Make sure the process line is depressurized and empty.
-
Cut the pipeline connection using the guide sticker delivered with your package.
-
Cut the welding connection into the right size according to your pipe size. See the
instructions on the welding connection equipment.
-
Weld the welding connection into the process pipeline.
If you are following ASME, PED or CRN standards or guidelines, refer to their welding instructions. The welding connection material is EN 1.4462 (AISI 318LN). -
Install the hand wheel.
-
Align the isolation valve and retractor with the welded connection. Make sure the
isolation valve is closed as shown in the figure. Two persons are required for the
installation. It is recommended that the valve handle is pointing upward.
-
Cross-tighten the bolts to 27 Nm using a 16-mm wrench. Hold the equipment level while
tightening.
CAUTION Be careful not to over-tighten. Using the ball valve will become difficult if the connections are too tight. -
Install protection caps over the nuts. This prevents incorrect usage when the
refractometer is retracted.
