Function and Description
For Tank Content Gauging
The Gauging and Sampling Pipes Type PROTEGO® PR/0 are used for gauging of tank contents in horizontal or vertical tanks. They can be used in combination with other devices as for instance PROTEGO® VP/HK, PROTEGO® PS/E as well as PROTEGO® PG/H.
Level Gauging and Sampling Pipes for Tank Safety
The Gauging and Sampling Pipes Type PROTEGO® PR/0 consist of the gauging and sampling pipe Tube d'évaluation et d'échantillonnage A gauging and sampling tube consists of a hanging pipe and an attachment pipe, as well as a sleeve for welding into the cap of the tank nozzle. (1), the cap (2) with gasket and the gauge plate Table d'évaluation A gauge plate is used in combination with a gauging and sampling tube. (3). In normal operation the gauging pipe Gauging pipe The gauging pipe is a measuring pipe for liquids. is closed with the cap. It is opened only for tank content gauging. PROTEGO® PR/0 is not flame transmission proof and therefore special safety measures have to be implemented in order to avoid flame transmission into the tank caused by external ignition sources.

For combination with other gauging device Appareil A device is a pipe component that influences the media flow by opening, closing, or partially shutting off the flow channel or by dividing or mixing the media flow. design 1 with welding neck flange is available (from DN 100/4''). Instead of the gauging table PROTEGO® PT/S a perforated bottom can be Chosen alternatively.

Selection and Design
Select the required nominal sizes based on the gauging equipment size or nominal size Diamètre nominal The nominal size is an alphanumeric designation of size for components in a piping system, used for reference purposes, comprising the letters DN followed by a dimensionless integer that is indirectly related to the physical size of the bore or outside diameter of the connections, expessed in millimeters. of the connecting nozzle. specify measures c, d, e and f must be specified with the order and necessary for the interpretation. The device must be sufficiently resistant to corrosion through product vapour/air mixtures. If necessary, designs in Special stainless steel quality should be selected.Gauging and Sampling Pipe PROTEGO® PR/0 with perforated bottom for the horizontal tank.
Gauging and Sampling PIpe PROTEGO® PR/0 with gauging table PROTEGO® PS/KF for a vertical tank. Also sampling with a suitable Sampling Pot PROTEGO® PG/H is possible. Information about gauging and sampling device Dispositif d'évaluation et d'échantillonnage A gauging and sampling device is used for gauging the fluid level of storage tanks as well as for sampling from different levels within the stored medium. are available in a seperate catalogue sheet.
