5.6.2. Installation
The sealing face on the probe requires a gasket to mate against the flange on the process
pipework. The gasket material must be chosen to be compatible with the pressure and
temperature range of the process media and must be chemically compatible.
WARNING
Choice of gasket material must be appropriate for the chemistry
and process being used.
The probe body and hub are manufactured from Hastelloy, which is resistant to many
aggressive chemicals; the optional ball valve is stainless steel.
You are advised to check
with Keit before installing on a new process.
Before beginning installation, ensure that the gasket is in good condition and that the sealing
faces are not scratched or dented.
Support the cradle such that it aligns the probe with the flange port that it will be fitted to. Avoid
applying stress to the probe, weld, or flange by ensuring that the sealing face of the hub sits
flush against the gasket and sealing face of the mating flange before fitting any mounting bolts
to the flange.
The cradle has lifting points to assist in locating: two either side of the cradle at the front and
one located through the base plate at the back. The cradle also has 4 mounting points through
the base.
5.6.3. Maintenance
Keit recommends regular inspection of the integrity of the welds on the front and rear in line
with local safety procedures.
