Guide pipe

5.5.1

Guide pipe material and installation

Guide pipes are required for most installations, except for tank top or underground

applications. Guide pipes are usually used in 3 locations:
• Gauge head to sheave elbow

• Sheave elbow to sheave elbow

• Sheave elbow to tank roof

Precautions regarding installation

• Guide pipes and pipe supporters are not supplied by Hauser.

• The angle of the guide pipe must be 5 mm (0.17 in) or less.

• The maximum distance between two sheave elbows (pipe distance) must be

2.5 m (8.2 ft).

Recommended materials for guide pipes

‣

Always use a galvanized carbon steel pipe ("white gas pipe") for the guide pipe. If the

application is for extremely corrosive gas, a stainless steel or hard PVC pipe with a resin

inner lining is recommended.
