IOM Revision : 00 Page : Page 5 of 19 1.0 ABOUT THIS MANUAL This manual has been prepared as an aid and guide for personnel involved in installation / operation and maintenance. All instructions must be read and understood thoroughly before attempting any installation / operation / maintenance. Failure to follow instructions could result in a malfunction or breakage of the sight flow indicator, resulting in personal injury or property damage Always wear safety glasses when installing, servicing or operating a sight flow indicator 2.0 INTRODUCTION Sight flow Indicators are used to observe flow or level. They are relatively simple devices that can be expected to be extremely reliable if the following criteria are met: 1) The proper unit must be selected for the service intended. 2) Large and rapid thermal changes must not be imposed on the unit. 3) Normal standards of good workmanship must be employed in the installation and maintenance of the unit. ARSEN Sight Flow Indicator product line includes an extensive configuration of double window Sight Flow Indicators. These indicators are fitted with toughened glass discs and have been designed to enhance the safety for the operator who envisages the need to view the process media as it flows through the pipe line. At a glance Double Window Sight Flow Indicator allows for monitoring of: Fluid movement change in direction or volume Colour Change in tint or hue Clarity Change in opacity, brightness or purity Double Window Sight Flow Indicators provide a clearly visible chamber for convenient fluid monitoring. The toughened glass discs assist the operations manager by creating an observation window to monitor fluid process volumes, directions and reactions without interrupting the process flow. Double Window Sight Flow Indicators are recommended for medium to high-pressure applications where standard visibility is necessary to effectively monitor fluid dynamics.
Page : Page 6 of 19 2.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Double Window Sight Flow Indicators consists of six basic components: Body: provides an in-line attachment capability for the Sight Flow Indicator. In addition, the body is machined to provide a recess for glass disc fitment and also provides an effective method of compressing and sealing gaskets on the glass ends to prevent leakage. Cover Plate: is also provided with a recess for the glass discs and an effective method of compressing and sealing gaskets on the glass ends to prevent leakage. Sealing Gaskets: the sealing gasket is placed in the recess provided in the body and is compressed by the bolts and nuts to effectively seal the gap and prevent leakage between the body and the glass discs. A variety of materials ensures that the gaskets are compatible to the fluid passing through the Sight Flow Indicator. Cushion Gaskets: the cushion gasket is placed in the recess provided in the cover plate and is compressed by the bolts and nuts to effectively seal the gap and prevent leakage between the cover plate and the glass discs. Though this is a non-wetted component a variety of materials are available to ensure that the gaskets are compatible to the fluid passing through the Sight Flow Indicator. Toughened Glass Discs: is the most vital component of the Double Window Sight Flow Indicator. They provide the visibility in the chamber to view what is going on in your pipelines. Bolt Nuts: compress the glass discs between the body and the cover plate 2.2 INDICATOR OPTIONS Plain: There are no internal indicating options available Flapper: There is as a standard stainless steel flapper. The angle of the flapper provides an approximate indication of the flow rate. The flapper is hinged at the inlet pipe and also acts as a non-return valve. Drip: A drip pipe extended into the viewing area facilitates the creation of turbulence and enhances visibility. The drip tube is also widely used in applications where the flow is intermittent like in distillation systems. Rotor: PTFE Rotor is standard and is ideal for lines carrying dark solutions where the rotor motion is easily detected. The rotor movement also provides a guestimate of fluid velocities. Flutter: PTFE flutter is optionally available on lined models.

If damage is evident or suspected do not attempt installation. Notify carrier immediately and request damage inspection. 5.0 INSTALLATION Qualified experienced personnel who are familiar with this equipment and have read and understood all the instructions in this manual should undertake installation. The user should refer to C-TRU PROCESS EQUIPMENTS product proposal to obtain overall dimensional information.
Page : Page 10 of 19 Do not proceed with installation of the sight flow indicator unless: a) The glass is examined and is free of all imperfections. Glass that is chipped is weakened and should not be used under any circumstances. b) The connections and inside of the sight flow indicator have been cleaned and are free of any foreign material. 5.1 EFFECTS OF RELATED PIPING 1) Do not impose system-piping loads on the sight flow indicators. 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. Large heavy units must be independently supported to avoid stressing the piping. 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 glass. 4) Locate the sight flow indicator so it is protected from dust, grit, tools, and any other object that may scratch, chip or break the glass. 5) Considerations should be given to locations where the glass will not be subjected to large 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 locations could impose conditions of thermal shock where stress values approach twice those caused by temperature alone and are additive to mechanical stresses caused by pressure and bolting loads. 6) When bolting units to adjacent piping, care must be taken to ensure that bolts or studs do not project sufficiently past the flange to strike any part of the sight flow indicator thus avoiding potentially stripped flange connections or movement of the preset retainers. 5.2 POSITIONING OF SPECIFIC MODELS Flapper Drip Rotor Vertically Upward / Horizontal Flow Vertically Downward / Horizontal Flow Horizontal or Vertical

Page : Page 12 of 19 5.4 BOLT TORQUE CHECK FOR DOUBLE WINDOW Vital Information Bolt Torque is vital to the proper operation of a Double Window Sight Flow Indicator. Every ARSEN Double Sight Flow Indicator is torqued and hydrostatically tested prior to dispatch. Bolt torque values are provided on the label attached to the sight flow indicator Bolt Torque should be checked after initial installation and periodically thereafter, to ensure that the unit is in compliance with the torque values given on the label attached to the sight flow indicator. 6.0 OPERATION Sight flow indicators provide a relatively inexpensive means of visually checking conditions of flow consistently and color of liquids and gases. They neither measure nor control flow but do offer an important human evaluation for checking or double checking systems. 6.1 PRE OPERATIONAL CHECK 1) Ensure that all installation procedures have been completed. 2) Ensure that glass is clean and free of any damage. 3) Check to determine that all connections are pressure tight. 6.2 HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE TEST 1) Take all precautions necessary to handle the possibility of leakage. 2) Pressure test all installations hydraulically to at least 5 bar (g), and correct any leakage before proceeding. 6.3 OPERATING Sight flow indicator installations should be brought into service slowly to avoid excessive shock or stress on glass. Rapid pressurization of sight flow indicators may cause glass breakage with resulting sudden release of pressure causing property damage, or physical injury to personnel. 7.0 MAINTENANCE Qualified experienced personnel who are familiar with this equipment and have read and understood all the instructions in this bulletin should undertake maintenance.
Page : Page 13 of 19 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. 7.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE The user must create maintenance schedules, safety manuals and inspection details for each specific installation. On all installations the user should regularly evaluate the following items for purpose 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. The user must determine upon evaluation of his or her own operating experience an appropriate maintenance schedule necessary for his or her specific application. Realistic maintenance schedules can only be determined with full knowledge of the services and application situation involved. 7.2 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES 1) Glass: Regular and careful attention must be given to the cleaning and inspection of glass. Glass that is etched or chipped is weakened and may break under pressure. a) Cleaning of Glass: Keep glass clean using a commercial glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use wire brushes, metal scraper, or any device that could damage the glass. b) Inspect the surface of the glass for any signs of clouding, etching or deep physical damage such as bruises, checks or corrosions that extend through the outer surface of the glass into the interior. Detection of any such problem areas is sufficient evidence of damage. The sight flow indicator should be immediately taken out of service and the glass should be replaced. 2) Gaskets: A sight flow indicator that leaks at the gasket must be immediately taken out of service. Do not proceed with the operation of a sight flow indicator until glass and gaskets have been replaced. 3) Connection Leaks: A sight flow indicator that leaks at the connection should be corrected by tightening the bolts at the connection 4) Corrosion: may occur if the user has selected a material that is not compatible for the Double Window Sight Flow Indicator application. It is the responsibility of the user to select materials that are compatible with both the contained fluid and the surrounding environment. If internal or external corrosion is evident, an investigation must be immediately performed by the user.

Ensure that the unit is stable and secure, hold the Sight Flow Indicator firmly and loosen the opposite side cover nuts sequentially. Remove the glass and gaskets from the indicator using appropriate safety precautions. Repeat the procedure for the other window. Once a Sight Flow Indicator has been disassembled, all glass must be disposed of since they are permanently deformed by compression during service
Page : Page 15 of 19 DO NOT under any circumstances reuse glass or gaskets previously in service, since they can cause leaks or high stress points resulting in glass breakage and severe personal and property damage. Glass that is broken is dangerous and should be disposed of in a safe manner determined by the user. 8.2 REASSEMBLY Refer to the exploded view for component identification, assistance and position 1) Carefully remove the toughened glass from the shipping package and place in a safe area. 2) Clean any material from gasket seating cavity. 3) Place new sealing gaskets in the gasket-seating cavity. 4) Place cushion gaskets on the glass. 5) Locate the gasket cavity of the cover plate and place the cover plate over the glass. 6) Apply oil or anti seize to threads and screw the nuts to the bolts 7) Use a torque wrench to tighten the nuts. Tighten bolts sequentially in increments of 3 fl/lbs or 50 % of torque values whichever is less. 8) After 24 hours in service relieve pressure or vacuum, drain the indicator and allow it to return to ambient temperature. Re-torque the nuts to the specified torque values. 9) Repeat the above procedure for the other window 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 be drained or purged of all fluids before re-torquing. Failure to follow this procedure may result in severe personal injury or property damage
