1. General Terms

This operating manual has to be read carefully and observed by
the competent operating and maintenance personnel.

We have to point out that we will not accept any liability for
damage or malfunctions resulting from the non-compliance with
this operating manual.

Descriptions and data given herein are subject to technical
changes.

2. Safety Instructions

DANGER!

- The line system must be depressurized before any maintenance.

- Observe assembly instructions to ensure safe maintenance of the
measuring device.

UK

- Moreover, the special safety instructions of the individual measuring
devices (e.g.for electric connections) must be observed.

3. Field of Application

- The APV Inline housings with different measuring devices are used
in applications in which hygienic process conditions must be
provided by crevice-free sealing and reliable cleaning.

- Two different measuring devices can usually be used in one
housing.

- With larger nominal diameters special housings can be equipped
with 4 connections for measuring devices.

- For applications with increased line pressures special housing are
available.

connection and can, thus,be used independently of the nominal
diameter.

4. Measuring Device

Optical measuring technique:

turbidity measurement
colour measurement
concentration measurement

Ultrasonic measuring technique:

concentration measurement
density measurement

Sight glass:

with and without illumination.

5. Cleaning

As a result of the design of the Inline housing being free of dead
spaces (no sump and no dome) all product-wetted parts can be
cleaned properly during the cleaning process.

UK

6. Installation

The housing must be installed in such a way that a faultless
function of the measuring device is given.Moreover, the installation
must allow for fluids to drain off the housing.

With horizontal installation, measuring devices must be installed
vertically.

Attention!

- Observe welding instructions!

6.1 Welding Instructions

Before welding, the measuring devices and the housing cover must
be removed. See to a careful handling to avoid damage.

- Welding may only be carried out by certified welders (EN 287-1).
(Seam quality EN 25817 „B“).

- The welding of the valve housings must be effected in such a way
that deformation strain cannot be transfered to the valve body.

6.1 Welding Instructions

- The preparation of the weld seam up to 3 mm thickness must be
carried out in butt manner as an square butt joint without air.
(Consider shrinkage!)

- TIG orbital welding should be aimed at!

- After welding of the valve housings, the pipelines must be cleaned
from welding residues and soiling in order to prevent other
components from being damaged.

- Any damage resulting from the nonobservance of these
welding instructions is not subject to our guarantee.

7. Maintenance

- The maintenance intervals depend on the individual application and
are to be determined by the operator himself by temporary checks.

UK

- Installation of measuring devices see assembly instructions.

- All seals must be slightly greased before their installation.

Recommendation:
APV food grade grease for EPDM,HNBR and FPM

(0,75 kg /tin - ref.-No.000 70-01-019/93)
(60 g /tube - ref.-No.000 70-01-018/93)

! For all applications,use only those greases which are suited for the

corresponding seal material !

8. Materials

Product-wetted parts : 1.4571 / 1.4404
Seals : standard EPDM

option HNBR, FPM

11. Assembly Instructions

The item numbers refer to the spare parts list RN 01.256.

11.1 Dismantling from the line system

a. Shut off line pressure in the product line and discharge line if

possible.

b. Disconnect electric and pneumatic connecting lines.
c. Remove hex. screws (3).Screw two screws into the threaded holes

of the housing cover (2), thus,pressing the measuring device and
the housing cover off.

11.2 Dismantling of wear parts

- If the measuring device has additional wear parts, the
corresponding operating instruction must be observed.

a. Pull off housing seal (4).

UK

11.3 Installation of seals and measuring devices

a. Pull the slightly greased seal on the flange of the measuring

device or of the housing cover (2).

See to a correct fit of the seal.

b. Place the measuring device or housing cover straightly on the

housing flange and tighten it by the hex. screws (3).

c. Connect electric and pneumatic lines.

12. Trouble Shooting

- leakage between housing flange
and flange of measuring device or
housing cover : replace housing seal.
