INSTALLATION & OPERATIONS MANUAL

FOR SIGHT FLOW INDICATORS

** IMPORTANT: Not Recommended For Steam Service Applications.

STORAGE AND HANDLING

All units should be inspected for damage upon receipt in case it may be necessary to

submit a claim to the carrier. Units should be stored where they will be protected

from the elements and corrosive fumes. Proper storage should ensure that damage

resulting from impact is completely avoided. Care should be taken to protect the end

connections from damage. Under no circumstances should the glass ever have

objects placed on top of it or be struck by other objects.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

All units should be checked to ensure that they contain no foreign matter and that the

end connections are clean, undamaged, and in line with the adjoining pipe. Using a

flashlight, examine the glass carefully for any indications of scratches or cloudiness,

if any type of flaw is apparent, the unit must not be installed until the glass has been

replaced.

Prepare proper supports to ensure that pipeline stresses will not be transmitted to the

sight flow indicator. Any misalignment between adjacent connections must be

corrected rather than forcing a fit-up. Large, heavy units must be independently

supported to avoid stressing the piping. Be certain that the installation location

provides access for comfortable viewing and maintenance. Keep in mind that the

units must be placed so that damage cannot be inflicted by passing traffic.

Considerations should be given to locations where the glass will not be subjected to

extreme temperature variations. For instance, an indicator must not be placed in a hot

process line where the opening of a door could inflict sudden blasts of cold air. Cold

“wash down” water is also a frequent enemy of glass in hot pipelines. A poor choice

of installation could impose conditions of thermal shock (I.E. rapid heating) where

the stress values approach twice those caused by temperature alone and are additives

to mechanical stresses caused by pressure and bolting loads.
