•
Stainless steel tubing or flexible stainless steel tubing
(SpectraSensors recommends using 1/4" O.D. x 0.035" wall
thickness, seamless stainless steel tubing).
Tools:
•
7/16" open-end wrench
•
9/16" open-end wrench.
Setting up the Analyzer
The SS1000 analyzer is manufactured for temporary installation at a sampling
point. Place the analyzer at a location relatively free of vibration and close to
the sampling point. Choose a shaded area or use an optional analyzer hood (or
equivalent) to minimize sun exposure. Refer to the layout diagrams in
Appendix B for detailed dimensions.
Connecting the Gas Lines
Once the analyzer has been suitably place, you are ready to connect the
sample supply and sample return lines. All work must be performed by
technicians qualified in pneumatic tubing.
When setting up the analyzer, be sure not to position the
instrument so that it is difficult to operate adjacent devices. Allow
3 feet of room in front of the analyzer and any switches.
It is critical to set up the analyzer so that the inlet and outlet lines
reach the inlet and outlet connections on the chassis while still
maintaining flexibility so that the sample lines are not under
excessive stress.
In order to capture a representative sample of gas, the sample
must be captured from the pipeline using a probe equipped with
a standard or heated field-pressure reducing regulator. For more
information, refer to the American Petroleum Institute's “Manual
of Petroleum Measurement Standards,” Chapter 14, Section 1 -
Natural Gas Samples for Custody Transfer.
The sample supply port on the analyzer is equipped with a
membrane separator filter to prevent liquid from entering the
sample cell and accumulating on the internal optics.
