8.6 Hygienic and Sanitary Connections (all sizes)
Maximum pressure: 10 barg at 150°C or 145 psig at 302°F
Maximum pipe work forces
Forces exerted on the meter from the process pipe are not permitted. Mechanical installation
should be designed to prevent such forces.
Hygienic Applications
The OPTIMASS 8000/9000 series is available with a variety of hygienic process connectors.
When using / installing meters with hygienic process connectors, care should be taken to
ensure the meter is well supported / clamped, as the meters are heavy and could injure when
disconnected from the adjacent pipe work.
The recommended method of installation is to mount the meter against a support / wall with
the body of the meter supported/clamped. The process pipe work can then be supported off the
meter.
The meter is too heavy to be supported from the thin walled piping usually associated with the
hygienic industry.
1 2 Support Points
Installation Lengths:
For installation lengths, please see section 8.9.
Please check with KROHNE if you are unsure of the installation length. Many meters are built
to customer requirements / specifications especially where special hygienic process connec-
tors have been adapted to the meter. As these are normally non-standard, the installation
length will not be given in the technical data.
It is also recommended that the seals be replaced regularly to maintain the hygienic integrity
of the connection.
