NPT 3/4”-14 weldolet for 2” ANSI pipes - WOL-34NS
Description
Rheonics WOL-34NS accessory is an NPT weldolet used for installation of SR sensors in 2” ANSI pipes (OD 60.3 mm). This weldolet is designed to ensure that the Rheonics SR-sensors sensing element is fully immersed in the flow, thus providing the correct measurement conditions using this type of installation.
Why use this part?
This part is often used for sensors probe installation on a 2” line – ANSI standards.
Commercially available weldolets are not well suited for the standard 3/4“ NPT version of SRV or SRD as they tend to create large dead zone around the sensing element, thus giving unreliable measurements due to potential fouling/deposit intruding onto the sensing element.
WOL-34NS is designed with a shortened thread and height, ideal for 3/4“ NPT version of SRV and SRD.
Plugging of the gaps in a standard off-the-shelf NPT weldolet (yellow highlighted in figure below) affects the sensing element. This affects the measurement accuracy and stability.
Installation instructions
- Weld according to ANSI/AWS D10.4 recommendation standard for Austenitic Stainless Steel pipes.
- Suitable for SRV and SRD sensors.
- Weld only on 2”pipes ANSI standards (60.3 OD).
- Not recommended for high viscosity fluids due to possible pluging and deposits below the sensor tip.
