Precautions for the Installation of Additional Fittings Before or After the
PN-COSR-16
In order to ensure stable steam flow, the piping upstream and downstream of the
PN-
COSR-16
must be straight runs. If the
PN-COSR-16
is installed either directly before or
after an elbow or control valve, unevenness in steam flow may result in chattering and
unstable pressure. To ensure stable steam flow, it is recommended that the
PN-COSR-
16
be installed on straight runs of piping, as illustrated below.
1) Inlet (primary side) of the
PN-COSR-16
(d = pipe diameter)
Maintain a straight piping run
of
10 d or more
when a
manual valve, a strainer or an
elbow, etc. is installed.
(Example: if nominal size is 25
mm (1 in), have 250 mm (10
in) or more)
PN-COSR
Valve,
strainer,
elbow, etc.
10 d or more

Less than
10 d
Maintain a straight piping run of
30 d or more
when an
motorized valve (on-off valve)
is installed.
(Example: if nominal size is 25
mm (1 in), have 750 mm (30
in) or more)

30 d or more

Maintain a straight piping run of
30 d or more
when a pressure
reducing valve is installed.

2) Outlet (secondary side) of the
PN-COSR-16
Maintain a straight piping run
of
15 d or more
when a
manual valve, a strainer or an
elbow, etc. is installed.
(Example: if nominal size is 25
mm (1 in), have 375 mm (15
in) or more)

when a

mm (1 in), have 750 mm (30
in) or more)

Maintain a straight piping
