CHAPTER 2. PRE-CHECK PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the pre-check procedures
for Microcell™ sets. Verifying the application and
checking the Microcell™ sets before installation
will ensure installation of properly working
equipment that will provide accurate monitoring
of vessel contents.
APPLICATION VERIFICATION
Prior to ordering Microcell™ sets, be sure to have
read the Microcell™ Selection Guide
(Kistler-Morse
® #97-5023) and completed the
appropriate Application Data Form (Kistler-Morse ®
#97-5025 for Microcells™ on vertical column legs
or Kistler-Morse
® #97-5024 for Microcells™ on
horizontal beams). A copy of the completed form
was returned with both the order acknowledgment
and equipment shipment. If you cannot locate the
form, contact Kistler-Morse
® to get another copy
before proceeding. Review the information on the
form now to verify the application details.
Note
If the calculated stress on the Application Data
Form is outside the following ranges, this is a
special application:
3” Microcell™:
2,500 psi - 7,500 psi
(1.8kg/mm 2 - 5.3kg/mm 2 )
2” Microcell™: 3,750 psi - 11,250 psi
(2.6kg/mm 2 - 7.9kg/mm 2 )
Contact Kistler-Morse ® before proceeding further
with a special application.
