Figure 29: Spectrometer with port flange fitted
5.5.1. Safety
WARNING
The flange and hub form a seal with the process pipework and as
such are safety critical to prevent an accidental discharge of the
process media. Keit recommends regular inspection of the
integrity of the welds on the front and rear in line with local safety
procedures.
CAUTION
The spectrometer weighs ~18kg. The flange must not be used to
support the instrument on process pipework. Doing so risks
damage to the spectrometer and excess stress on the piping
system.
WARNING
Pipe flanges’ permitted working pressures are temperature
dependent in accordance with the relevant standard (ANSI/ASME
B16.5 or EN 1092-1).
