The refractometer type PR-23-AP62-PSS is flush mounted, using a sanitary APV tank
bottom flange, Figure 9.11. The sensor can be flush mounted in the side wall, which
allows the use of a scraper. It is also easily installed through a steam jacket.

9.4.6 PR-23-AP I-Line fitting
Sanitary Refractometer PR-23-AP-ZP can be mounted using 3-A Sanitary approved 2.5
inch Cherry Burrell I-Line fittings that are made of interlocking flat face ferrules, a flat
gasket and a clamp. This interlocking, metal-to-metal design eliminates over com-
pression by the clamp not allowing the gasket to be extruded into the product contact
side.
Sensor wetted parts material is AISI 316L or Alloy C, gaskets EPDM.
9.4.7 Mounting specifics for EHEDG certified PR-23-AP configuration
Vaisala offers certain PR-23-AP configurations which have been certified to fulfill the
sanitary requirements published by EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering & De-
sign Group) organization. During this certification the hygienic characteristics of both
the refractometer and the process connection were evaluated against the applicable
requirements.
