Under normal operation, the KAM OID should not require cleaning, unless pipeline usage is limited to a small num-
ber of products. Gasoline products or jet fuel in the pipeline will clean the OID without removal.
To remove any oil residues for visual inspection use a clean cloth with oil solvent or part washer.
Preferred solvents include, any petroleum solvent such as mineral spirits, isopropyl alcohol, gasoline, or diesel. Do
not use other chemicals.
If you have a question regarding cleaning solvents, please contact KAM CONTROLS directly at
