4−9.Example of piping connection 

Gas inlet/outlet fitting of this unit is Rc 1/8 female screw and provided with brass coupling. 
Applicable piping is  φ8(O.D.)-1t copper pipe.    Secure the piping connections not to leak. 
The piping material will be changed depending on corrosive gas contained in a sampled gas.    In 

such case, contact RIKEN KEIKI Co., Ltd. 

 

(1) In case of pump suction 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

                     

 

This unit is designed to sample the gas in an atmospheric pressure. Do not give an excessive 
pressure to gas inlet and outlet of this unit. 

 

Connect the exhaust pipe to the gas outlet located at the bottom of this unit and exhaust 
the sampled gas to an area known to be non-hazardous. 

WARNING 

 

 

 

Use  Φ8(O.D)-1t copper pipe and so on for piping. 

 

Carry out piping works as straight as possible. 
Excessively high load may cause burden on the suction pump, shortening the effective life of 
the pump. 
When bends the pipe, secure R (radius of curvature) enough to avoid loading to the piping. 

 

Determine the suction side piping length while considering the  response time.    When the 
gas  is  sampled  from  the  piping  end  (gas  detection  point),  the  response  time  of  the  gas 
detection sensor  delay time caused by the piping length becomes equivalent to the 
detector response time. 

 

Be sure to attach the gas suction port at the end of gas detection point. 

 

Be  sure  to  put  dust  filter  in  front  of  gas  detector.    If  sampled  gas  contains  water  and 
corrosive gases, removal device is required separately.
