7.5.1
Before installing the device into the pipe
•
Prepare the device as described in chapter
•
Follow the recommendations given in chapter
7.5.2
Installing a device with clamp connections
The device manufacturer does not supply any gaskets for the process connections.
→
If the installation must be EHEDG-compliant and the device is fitted with clamp connections according
to ASME BPE (DIN 32676 series C), DIN 32676 series A, DIN 32676 series B or SMS 3017 / ISO 2852 for
pipes according to SMS 3008, then use EHEDG-compliant gaskets from Combifit International B.V.
→
To make sure that you use EHEDG-compliant gaskets, refer to the "EHEDG Position Paper" available on
the EHEDG website.
→
The clamp connections according to DIN 11864-3 series A, B and C are hygienic connections. You can
use any gaskets that are adapted to the process.
→
Make sure that the gaskets on the clamp connections are in good condition.
→
Place gaskets adapted to the process (temperature, liquid type) in the grooves of the clamp connections.
→
Attach the clamp connections to the pipe with clamp collars. Make sure that tightening the clamp collar
does not create bulges at the gaskets. Gasket bulges can lead to wrong measurements.
7.5.3
Installing a device with flange connections
→
The flange connections according to DIN 11864-2 series A, B and C are hygienic connections. You can
use any gaskets that are adapted to the process.
→
Make sure that the gaskets on the flange connections are in good condition.
→
Place gaskets adapted to the process (temperature, liquid type) in the grooves of the flange connections.
→
Use bolts with dimensions as given in the relevant flange standard and adapted to the process.
→
Tighten the bolts to a torque as given in the relevant flange standard to fix the fitting to the pipe.
