3 Intended use
The welding adapter allows the installation of sensors in tanks or piping systems.
3.1 Basic notes
If the tank or pipe system is treated after the adapter has been welded
in (e.g. grinding, pickling, sand-blasting, glass bead blasting or applying
procedures such as powder coating, painting etc.):
• Make sure that the inside and sealing area of the adapter are clean and
not damaged.
Appropriate measure: using the welding aid (→ 4.1)
.
• The welding operation must be carried out by authorised personnel.
• The welding operation must be carried out carefully and according to
state-of-the-art technology.
• During welding and the following cooling phase the sensor must not be
in place.
• The surfaces must be free from any contamination.
• Welding materials must be suitable for the adapter and wall material.
►
The requirements in the specifications, of common practice, in
regulations, norms, of intended use and the application must be
applied.
> They determine the welding procedure, the welding material, the
connection category and connection type, including chamfer, welding
penetration depth and demands on the surface.
