Pentair 80E User Manual page 2

The CodeLine 80E Series is a standardized family of fiberglass pressure vessels designed
for the continuous, long-term use as housings for reverse osmosis membrane elements.
Any make of eight-inch nominal diameter spiral-wound element is easily accommodated.
The 80E Series includes five models of different pressure ratings. They are unified in design
and have maximum number of parts in common. Each model has the appropriate strength and
materials of construction to provide years of continuous use in typical service when properly
maintained.
Each model is available in lengths to house, from one to eight, 40-inch long elements and two,
four or five 60-inch long elements.
The 80E Series is designed and built in accordance with the engineering standards of the
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME
Code). A vessel marked with an ASME Code stamp is accepted worldwide as being built to
the highest standards of safety.
Each model in the CodeLine 80E Series has passed rigorous ASME Code qualification tests
which require that the vessels do not burst at less than six times their design pressure. Safe
use is further assured in that vessels will not fail catastrophically; overpressure is relieved by
weeping through the fiberglass shell. Also, every production vessel is hydro-tested to verify
structural integrity.
While undertaking regular maintenance/repair/replacement of a pressure vessel it may be
necessary to remove the pressure vessel from the bank. Also ensure sufficient spares are
available for replacement. Care must be taken in installation/removal of the vessel to avoid
damage to the shell. Damage to the shell can result in catastrophic failure and possible
injury to personnel. Any corrections or recommendation for improvement for this manual
should be addressed to:
