2.3. Intended use The Series SGK 1-3 device is a short tube VA flow meter designed for liquids and gases, and for installation in switch panels. Direction of flow is upwards, from bottom to top. Inlet and outlet are located in the horizontal, but optionally may also be in the vertical (see Model Types, Section 10.3).
In accordance with the law concerning handling of waste (critical waste) and the hazardous materials directive (general duty to protect), we would point out that all flow meters returned to Kirchner und Tochter for repair are required to be free from any and all hazardous substances (alkaline solutions, acids, solvents, etc.).
Short-tube VA flow meter SGK 1-3 4. Installation Variable area flow meters are only suitable for vertical installation, where the direction of flow is from bottom to top. For all other installation situations, appropriate pipe bends need to be fitted in the existing pipeline in order to ensure vertical flow through the device from below.
Short-tube VA flow meter SGK 1-3 4.3. Preparations for assembly The SGK flow meter consists of a channel section in which the tapered measuring glass is firmly held in place by the two connecting heads with or without integrated batching valve.
Short-tube VA flow meter SGK 1-3 6. Readings in operation The flow value is read off from the scale on the glass cone at the top edge of the float. The measured-value readings are only correct when the operating condition at the measuring point (flowing medium, operating pressure and temperature) corresponds to the values marked on the measuring glass.
Short-tube VA flow meter SGK 1-3 Connection of limit switches Electrical connection of the device must be carried out in conformity with the relevant VDE regulations (or equivalent national standards) and in accordance with the regulations issued by the local power supply utility.
Short-tube VA flow meter SGK 1-3 8. Maintenance To avoid risk of glass breakage, all assembly/dismantling procedures between measuring glass and heads in the glass should be carried out by simultaneous twisting and pressing the heads after previously having moistened the sealing rings. Close off and secure the pipe system according to regulations and drain the pipes before dismantling the device.
