5. WELDED HUB FOR LAP JOINT FLANGE OPTION
A version of the IRmadilloNA is available to allow connection to process pipework with an
ANSI/ASME B16.5 (other options available on request) compliant flange. A hub is welded to
the wall of the probe and a compatible lap-joint flange is mounted between the hub and
spectrometer body to permit clamping to process pipework. For technical drawings, contact
Keit at [email protected].
It is important to follow these instructions completely to ensure safe use of the flanged probe.

5.1.1. Safety
WARNING
AVERTISSEMENT
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.
La bride et l’écrou constituent un dispositif d’étanchéité avec le
raccord de tuyauterie de processus pour prévenir tout
déversement accidentel du fluide de processus. Keit
recommande une inspection régulière de l’ensemble des
soudures de l’avant et de l’a
rrière en conformité aux
procédures de sécurité locales.
CAUTION
MISE EN GARDE
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.
Le spectromètre pèse environ 18 kg. La bride ne doit pas être
utilisée pour supporter l’instrument sur le raccord de tuyauterie
de processus. Cela risque d’endommager le spectromètre et
d’imposer une charge excessive à la tuyauterie.
