  • Page 9: Selecting The Sdm Location

    Avoid installation in a pipe section where the SDM tip may wear fast  Avoid installation near dosing valves.  Vertical pipe installation is preferred when the flow goes in upstream direction, see chapter 2.2.1.  Horizontal pipe installation: Sensor must be installed sidewise, see chapter 2.2.2. www.rhosonics.com...

  • Page 10: Vertical Pipe Mounting

    Some considerations need to be taken into account in case of installation in a horizontal pipe. The preferred installation in a horizontal pipe is shown below. The SDM must be installed either on the left or the right hand side of the pipe. 90° Horizontal pipe mounting (i.e. wafer) www.rhosonics.com...

    CAUTION: Please make sure you will be very careful with rotating the housing. If not handled properly you can damage the SDM beyond repair, especially the spring loaded contacts in the sensor part. See also chapter Different housing positions www.rhosonics.com...

    For gasket materials, please consult the responsible perosn for the original design of the piping system. 2.3.3 Bolting pattern and torque --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAUTION: UNNECESSARY OVER TORQUING WILL DAMAGE THE SPOOL.

    One final time after 24 hours - clockwise or counter clockwise sequentially around the flange. In below table, torque values are given for Rhosonics metal spools (SDM-1) and metal wafers (SDM-4 or SDM-5). These values assume the flanged joint connects the spool to a CLASS 150 flange. These values are for Spiral Wound Gaskets, ASME B16.5.

  • Page 14: Weldolet Installation (Sdm-2 Or Sdm-3)

    INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: Rhosonics does not take responsibility for any of these torque values, they're theoretical values. These bolt torque values are intended for use as guidelines only and are based on ideal conditions, perfect flanges, flange alignment & new well lubricated bolts/nuts. Torque values are based on using weld-neck flanges and lubricated stud bolts with a 0.16 friction factor.

  • Page 15: Installation Of The Wafer (Sdm-4 Or Sdm-5)

    This is the reason that the UHMWPE wafer is mentioned separately. The torque of the metal wafers (SDM-4 or SDM-5) is the same as the torque for spool piece (SDM-1). See concerning chapter 2.3 spool installation for torques of metal wafers. Vertical mounting (i.e. wafer) www.rhosonics.com...

  • Page 17 Care must be taken to avoid “bending” the flange when joining a UWC wafer to a “raised face” flange. In below table, torque values are given for Rhosonics wafers. These values assume the flanged joint connects the wafer to a CLASS 150 flange, material UHMWPE.
  • Page 18 These estimated values are based on non-plated bolts and studs, using a K=0.16 for lightly greased bolts and nuts. Bolting must be done according to a crisscross pattern. Reseating is necessary after 24 hours. Reference: Bolt Torque For Polyethylene Flanged Joints TN-38/July 2011, www.plasticpipe.org www.rhosonics.com...
