INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL WELKER CONSTANT PRESSURE CYLINDER HIGH PRESSURE ® WITH WELKER MAGNETIC INDICATOR ® AND GRAVITY MIXER MODEL CP2GM-HP DRAWING NUMBER AD618BA.O MANUAL NUMBER IOM-014 REVISION Rev. D, 01/23/2024...
Appendix to this manual. The information in this manual has been carefully checked for accuracy and is intended to be used as a guide for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Welker® equipment described in this manual. Correct installation and operation, however, are the responsibility of the end user. Welker® reserves the right to make changes to this manual and all products in order to improve performance and reliability.
If you have any questions, please call Welker® at 1.281.491.2331. *The following procedures have been written for use with standard Welker® parts and equipment. Assemblies that have been modified may have additional requirements and specifications that are not listed in this manual.
1.4 Specifications The specifications listed in this section are generalized for this equipment. Welker® can modify the equipment according to your company's needs. Please note that the specifications may vary depending on the customization of your equipment. Table 1: Constant Pressure Cylinder High Pressure With Gravity Mixer CP2GM-HP Specifications...
The sample cylinder should be located as close as is possible to the sample point. Welker® recommends having the following tools available for use during installation of the Constant Pressure Cylinder High Pressure. However, the tools used will vary according to the cylinder model.
The pre-charge gas you use must be compatible with the seals in the cylinder. The relief valves and gauges must also be adequate for the pressures used when pre-charging. Option 1: Preparing for Spot Sampling: Connecting the CP2GM-HP Constant Pressure Cylinder High Pressure Pre-Charge Valve to the Pipeline Always open valves slowly to avoid slamming the piston from one end to the other.
Proceed to the following section for instructions on how to spot sample the product, or to the section following that for instructions on how to continuously sample the product. Refer to GPA-2166 (Gas Processors Association) and API 14.1 (American Petroleum Institute) sampling standards for guidance.

If you have the premium purge model, connect the sampler from the outlet port to the product inlet port. Open the product purge valve to purge the system of any contaminants. Close the purge valve. Welker® recommends plugging the purge valve when not in use.

Repeat this process several times (5 to 10) to mix the contents of the product end of the cylinder. Figure 5: Gravity Mixing the Product IOM-014 MODEL: CP2GM-HP REV: D 13839 West Bellfort Street, Sugar Land, TX 77498 welker.com Service Department: 281.491.2331...
All maintenance and cleaning of the unit should be performed on a smooth, clean surface. Welker® recommends having the following tools available for maintenance. Please note that the exact tools required may vary depending on cylinder model and connectors used.
Wipe down the inside of cylinder and dry carefully (also see Section 3.5). Also wipe down all other parts and dry carefully. Closely examine the honed surface of the cylinder. Scratches and pits will cause the seals to leak. IOM-014 MODEL: CP2GM-HP REV: D 13839 West Bellfort Street, Sugar Land, TX 77498 welker.com...
However, some companies require such cleaning before each cylinder is put into service. Any debris or residue that is not removed from the cylinder will contaminate the results of the next sample extracted from the cylinder. Welker® recommends cleaning and leak testing of the cylinder after each use.

3.7 Leak Testing the Constant Pressure Cylinder High Pressure With Gravity Mixer Welker® recommends leak testing the cylinder after each time it is put into service. • Slowly pressure up the product end with helium and leak check all the external fittings and reliefs on the product end.
3.8 Troubleshooting Guidelines Table 4: Constant Pressure Cylinder CP2GM-HP Troubleshooting Guidelines Issues Possible Causes Solutions Cylinder scratches or pitting. Return the device to the manufacturer. Gas is migrating from one side of the cylinder to another. Damage to the outside of the cylinder.
3.9 Safety Issue Warning for Liquid Sample Cylinders Please read the following information in its entirety once you have received the Welker® Constant Pressure Cylinder. After drawing the sample into the cylinder, the inlet and pre-charge valves should be closed. The sample line is then disconnected from the cylinder and the cylinder is completely isolated from the process.
