In case of large temperature differences between the
medium and the environment the sensor must be iso-

Preface
This manual describes how to install SONOKIT on filled and pressurized steel pipes (hot-tap installation).
The manual is meant as an amendment to the current SONOKIT manuals delivered with the kit and contains
only special instructions on the hot-tap installation.
Siemens Flow Instruments recommends that you are familiar with the ordinary installation on empty pipes
before getting on with a hot-tap installation and that you know how to use the special tools used with the
hot-tap installation.
It is also important that you know the limitations e.g. maximum pressure, temperature and required space.
If you have any questions, please contact Siemens Flow Instruments A/S.
