SIDE STREAM (By-Pass) LINE MOUNTING

Measurments in 3/4" side stream lines allow electrodes to be mounted inconvenient locations. Side stream mountings are particularly useful in applications involving oily coatings, low suspended solids contents, or moderatley viscuos materials.

Side stream mounting hardware allows the velocity past the electrode to be controlled in a predictable manner. In the 3/4" flow cell's restricted 1/4" flow channel each GPM flow provides a 2 ft/sec velocity past the flat electrode's sensing surface. Flow rates of 3 to 5 GPM provide adequate cleaning velocities in water weight applications. Exact control of flow rates is not required.

In viscous material applications these flow rates may be difficult to achieve; however, lower rates still provide flow in shear to assure that fresh material is at the measuring surface.

Measurements in tanks, flumes, and sewer lines are conveniently made with the Submersion system. It is well suited for applications with high suspended solids or where flocculation operations require low velocities. It is well suited for coating problems in tanks which have high agitation.

Where only low velocities are present and coating is a problem, the electrode can be mounted at a 45 degree angle facing into the flow so as to obtain increased scrubbing action across the measuring surface.

In certain applications it may be neccesary to install a small circulating pump and use the Side Stream unit to achieve the needed self-cleaning action.
