Protective Sleeve for SRV Long insertion probe (-x5) - SFP-SRX

Description

Rheonics SFP-SRX accessory is used to protect the inline viscometer SRV long insertion probe variant (-X5) in a fluid with big particles that can hit the sensing element and create potential damage.

Specifications
CompatibilitySRV-X5
Included assembly partsSix M2 Headless set screw

Allen Key for M2 screws
Material316L

Why use this part?

  • Useful installation solution for mixing tanks or rotating vessels with big particles or high fluid forces.
  • The adapter protects the sensing element while not affecting the sensing area required for measurements.

Warning

Using the protective shield increases the chances of plugging of the sensing element as material could get stuck in the protective shield and ultimately plugs it up reducing transfer of fluid across sensing element. This can give misleading measurements which may not be representative of the actual process fluid. We recommend using the sensor without protective shield and to only use it when damage for large solids or very high viscosity fluid induced forces are inevitable.

Installation instructions

Step 1:

Insert the SFP-SRX accessory in the SRV-X5 sensing end.

The SRV-X5 is customizable in length and process connection.

Step 2:

Thread the M2 set screws in the M2 female port using the Allen Key tool to fix the accessory on the probe.

Thread clockwise to tight the screw and anticlockwise to loose it.

Repeat this step for each of the six M2 set screws.

Step 3:

Your sensor probe is ready to be installed inline, ensure the sensing element is immersed in the fluid avoiding dead zones.
