SONOKIT installa-
tion with tapping
band
The Siemens Flow Instruments
SONOKIT Tapping band is an ultrasonic
flow meter designed to be fitted to pipe of
circumference, pipe wall thickness and
pressure rating nominated at the time of
ordering.
The Siemens Flow Instruments
SONOKIT Tapping band is recom-
mended for installation of SONOKIT ul-
trasonic flow meters on non weldable
pipes, such as: Cast iron, Plastic pipes,
Glass reinforced plastic pipes (GRP) or
Concrete pipes.
The Siemens Flow Instruments
SONOKIT Tapping band is designed for
installation on pipes under pressure (hot-
tap) and on empty pipes.
Introduction
Installation Unpack the Tapping band and check that all components are included. Some small items can be
misplaced during shipping and Customs inspection. If the list below does not check out, please contact
Siemens Flow Instruments.
•
Each band has an associated Data Sheet with information unique to that band. If more than one band
of the same size are delivered, ensure that each Data Sheet can be identified individually with its band.
•
The number of segments in the band depends upon the band circumference and pressure rating.
Check that the gap numbers stamped on the solid strips at the edge of each segment form a full
sequence.
•
A set of small packets is included containing lubricant. The material embedded in the tissues is Pipe
Joint Lubricant.
Handle the segments carefully at all times, paying attention to the feathered edges of the rubber mats.
Curling or tearing of these edges can compromise the seal.
Step 1
Prepare the segments for installation by
unwinding the nuts almost off the end of
each stud.
The Fish plate which spans several studs
must be inserted between the washers
and opposing tension plate at installa-
tion.
Ensure that these fish plates are free to
move along the studs and can be cor-
rectly placed with ease.
