3 INSPECTION AND PERFORMANCE CONFIRMATION
3.1 Receiving Inspection
Upon receipt of sight flow indicator, check all components carefully for damage incurred in shipping. If damage is evident or suspected, do not attempt installation. Notify carrier immediately and request a damage inspection.
3.2 Users' Rating Inspection
The user should confirm that:
1. The sight flow indicator model number and
pressure/temperature rating stamped on nameplate (163) conforms to the description on the user's purchase order.
2. The operating conditions described in
the purchase order agree with the actual conditions at the installation site.
3. The actual operating conditions at the
installation site are within the application data shown on the Penberthy Technical Data Bulletin referred to above.
4. The materials of construction of the sight
flow indicator are compatible with both the contained fluid and surrounding atmosphere in the specific application.
4.1 Effect of Related Piping and Precautions
1. Do not impose system piping loads on sight flow indicator. Unit is not designed to be a load bearing component. Piping must be supported and aligned with sight flow indicator end connections to reduce the possibility of stresses imposed on the unit.
2. Locate the sight flow indicator where it can be easily seen.
3. Locate the sight flow indicator away from areas where objects may be dropped, thrown, or generally allowed to effect contact with the viewing window glass.
4. Locate the sight flow indicator so it is protected from dust, grit, tools, and any other objects which may scratch, chip, or break the viewing window glass.
5. Locate the sight flow indicator so it is protected from external thermal shock, such as would be imposed on a unit in a high temperature application when exposed to a cold air blast or a cold water wash.
WARNING
Failure to mount, protect, and locate sight flow indicator as described above can cause serious personal injury or property damage.
IMPORTANT
If the size, model or performance data of the sight flow indicator as received does not conform with any of the criteria above, do not proceed with installation. Contact an authorized Penberthy distributor for direction on what to do.
4 INSTALLATION
Use qualified experienced personnel who are familiar with this equipment and thoroughly understand all the instructions in this manual for the installation of this equipment.
Refer to Penberthy dimension sheets or Penberthy product proposal to obtain dimensional information for the specific size and model sight flow indicator.
WARNING
Do not proceed with installation unless the glass has been examined and is free of imperfections, and the connections and inside of the sight flow indicator have been cleaned and are free of any foreign materials. Glass that is chipped or scratched is weakened and should not be used under any circumstances. Pressure/temperature ratings within Table 1 are no longer valid for glass that is weakened. Failure to comply may cause a sudden release of pressure with resulting severe personal injury or property damage.
4.2 Positioning of Specific Models
1. Flapper models may be mounted in a horizontal plane provided the flapper closes over the inlet port by gravity when there is no flow.
2. Plain or rotator models may be mounted in any acceptable position.
3. Drip tube models should be mounted in a vertical plane with the flow arrow pointing downward.
4.3 Bolt Torque
IMPORTANT
Prior to any bolt torque checks, the sight flow indicator must be relieved of all pressure or vacuum, been allowed to reach ambient temperature, and been drained or purged of all fluids. Bolt torque is vital to the proper operation of a sight flow indicator. Gaskets compress over a period of time; therefore, bolt torque should be checked, and bolt torque values should be brought up to those recommended in Table 2 by following the bolt tightening sequence Figure 1.
Check the exploded view Figure 4 for the location of the liquid inlet and outlet connections, and for the location and direction of the flow arrow to insure correct hook up.

6 MAINTENANCE
in detecting some of these conditions, Use only qualified, experienced personnel who are familiar with this equipment and thoroughly understand all the instructions in this manual for all maintenance.
WARNING
Do not proceed with any maintenance unless the sight flow indicator has been relieved of all pressure or vacuum, has been allowed to reach ambient temperature and has been drained or purged of all fluids. Failure to do so could result in a sudden release of pressure causing serious personal injury or property damage.
6.1 Preventative Maintenance
Create maintenance schedules, safety manuals, and inspection details for each specific installation of a sight flow indicator.
On all installations, regularly check the following items for purposes of maintenance:
1. Glass, for cleanliness and signs of damage
or wear.
2. Shields, if used, for signs of clouding, wear,
or deterioration.
3. Sight flow indicator for signs of leakage at
gaskets, or at connections.
4. Sight flow indicator, for signs of internal or
external corrosion.
5. Bolt torque values.
which will glisten more brightly than the surrounding glass when reflecting light. Detection of any such problem areas or any surface wear is sufficient evidence of damage. Immediately take sight flow indicator out of service. Do not proceed with operation of sight flow indicator until the glass has been replaced with a glass replacement kit by following the Disassembly-Reassembly instructions in Section 7.0.
2. Shields
Shields which show any signs of clouding,
wear, or deterioration are an indication that the sight flow indicator glass has been exposed, or could soon become exposed to the contained fluid. Immediately take sight flow indicator out of service. Do not proceed with operation of sight flow indicator until shields and glass have been replaced by following the Disassembly-Reassembly instructions in Section 7.0.
Determine upon evaluation of your own operating experience the appropriate maintenance schedule necessary for the specific application. Realistic maintenance schedules can only be determined with full knowledge of the services and application situation involved.
6.2 Maintenance Procedures
1. Glass
WARNING
Regular and careful attention must be given
to the cleaning and inspection of glass. Glass that is etched or even slightly scratched is weakened and may break under pressure. Design ratings listed in Section 2.2 are no longer valid for sight flow indicators that contain scratched, worn, or otherwise damaged glass, and such glass must be immediately replaced. Failure to comply can cause serious personal injury or property damage.
a. Keep glass clean using a commercial
glass cleaner and a soft cloth. DO NOT use wire brushes, metal scraper, or any device which could scratch the glass.
b. Inspect the surface of the glass for any
signs of clouding, etching, scratching, or physical damage such as bruises, checks or corrosion that penetrates the outer surface of the glass. Shining a light at approximately a 45° angle will aid

.
5. Corrosion It is the user's responsibility to choose
a material of construction compatible with both the contained fluid and surrounding atmosphere in the user's specific application. If internal or external corrosion are present, an investigation must immediately be carried out by the user as to the cause of the problem, including consulting with an authorized Penberthy distributor.
6. Bolt Torque Bolt torque schedules should be developed
by checking bolt torque values daily until an appropriate cycle becomes apparent. The maximum torque is always maintained while not exceeding maximums at any time as shown in Table 2.
6.3 Troubleshooting
Problem: Glass or shield becomes etched or
clouded in service.
Cause: Fluid being handled is not compatible
with the glass or shield material.
Cure: Install shields that are unaffected by
fluid.
WARNING
Once a sight flow indicator has been
disassembled, all glass, gaskets, cushions, and
shields (where used) must be disposed of since
they are permanently deformed by compression.
Do not under any circumstances re-use those
items since they can cause leaks or high stress
points resulting in glass breakage. If re-used, the
glass can break causing serious personal injury or
property damage.
7.2 Reassembly
a. Refer to exploded view Figure 4.
b. Prepare for installation of new glass (48) by
first cleaning the gasket seating surfaces on body (11) and the cushion seating surfaces on glass covers (1). This should be done using a soft metal scraper (preferably brass) to remove all burrs, rust, and bits of old gasket or cushion which may be present. Exercise extreme care to avoid gouging or scarring gasket or cushion seating surfaces
WARNING
Failure to prepare gasket or cushion seating
surfaces described above can result in leaks or
glass breakage with resulting serious personal
injury or property damage.
c. Upon receipt of glass, inspect each piece
individually for shipping damage. During inspection, and during any subsequent handling of glass, care must be exercised to keep glass (especially the polished faces) from contacting each other or any other surfaces including table tops. If shipping damage is evident or suspected, notify carrier immediately and request a damage inspection. Glass should be kept in original wrap within original box until ready to use.

PENBERTHY SIGHT FLOW INDICATORS
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
WARNING
Bumping or sliding of glass against each other or against other surfaces can result in glass breaking, scratching, or chipping. Glass that is broken is dangerous and useless and should be disposed of in a safe manner determined by the user. Glass that is chipped or scratched is weakened and should not be used under any circumstances. Pressure/temperature ratings within Table 1 are no longer valid for glass that is weakened. Using broken, chipped or scratched glass can cause serious personal injury or property damage.
d. Place the sight flow indicator in a horizontal
position and assemble the components as shown in Figure 4. Install band (331) around glass and place glass centered within the body and cover.
e. Threads on bolts (137) and nuts (4) must be
clean of paint, rust, and scale. Apply a light coat of oil to the threads and insert bolts through nameplate and two (2) covers, and install nuts finger tight.
f. Use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts.
Tighten bolts in increments of 3 ft•lb [4 N•m] or 50% of torque value as shown in Table 2, whichever is smaller. Continue tightening sequence at 3 ft•lb [4 N•m] max. torque until values in Table 2 are reached.
g. Gaskets will become compressed a short
time after bolts are tightened and torque values will decrease. Therefore, the sight flow indicator must be retorqued after 24 hours in service to values established in Table 2 for the specific model sight flow indicator.
WARNING
Do not re-torque a sight flow indicator while under pressure. A sight flow indicator in service must be freed of all pressure or vacuum, allowed to reach ambient temperature and drained or purged of all fluids before re-torque is performed. Failure to follow this procedure can result in serious personal injury or property damage.
Metal, glass and polymers should be recycled
whenever possible. Refer to order and Emerson
Material Specification sheets for materials
ofconstruction.
