  • Page 9 5 for proper orientation. Any uneven marks around the circumference of the ring or any flattening of the ring shape at its outside diameter are indications of wear and require replacement. Contact your Emerson Process Management sales office for Bore Seal ring replacement.
  • Page 10: Nozzle Maintenance And Replacement

    During regularly scheduled maintenance, visually inspect the nozzles for wear and blockage. Your local Emerson Service Center can help to determine the extent of weld fatigue and the correct course of action. Poor performing nozzles or nozzle failure is typically caused by wear, corrosion, erosion, and/or blockage.
