4.5.4 Applying the Pipe Dampening Jacket - PDJ
1. Remove the backing from the inside of the pipe dampening jacket.
2. Install the jacket on the pipe so that the jacket is between the marks. and be sure that the transducer holes are
located at the 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions.
Note: Panametrics recommends placing the PDJ on the pipe so that the seam is as close to the top of the pipe as
possible. Placing the seam at the top of the pipe reduces the amount of dripping.
3. Tighten the clamping screws evenly in sequence (see the figure below), taking care not to twist or warp the PDJ.
During tightening, some fluid and dampening material will drip from the bottom of the jacket.
Note:
As the dampening material dries out over several hours after installation, its effectiveness increases.
WARNING!
Be sure to wear proper eye and skin protection when applying the dampening
compound. Also, make sure there is proper ventilation.
WARNING!
In high-temperature applications, after the dampening compound is applied to the
pipe, the compound may drip and will cause severe burns upon contact with bare skin.
Also, be sure not to inhale the fumes generated during the DMP-3 curing cycle.
