INSTALLATION
PIPING HINTS
GENERAL
This section provides some hints on piping installation, which will aid in obtaining maximum efficiency
and service from your Tri-Blender.
Piping should be independently supported at both the inlet and discharge outlet. Care should be
taken that piping is properly aligned and does not put any strain on the Tri-Blender casing. The piping
should have minimum line restriction.
INLET PIPING
The inlet piping should be short and follow a direct route with a minimum number of elbows and
fittings. Elbows should not be used at the inlet as friction would be greatly increased, resulting in
head loss. Excessive friction losses in the inlet line could cause cavitation in the blender casing,
causing poor performance, noise, vibration, and damage to equipment.
Whenever practical, the diameter of the piping at the inlet should be increased in size. An eccentric
tapered reducer should be used in lieu of a concentric tapered reducer to help direct the flow into the
offset tee to minimize turbulence.
