Installation of Flanges

When welding the flange tubes it is recommended to have the Flange Alignment Kit. The
Flange Alignment Kit from Siemens consists of a light source, two flanges, an aiming tool, a
battery and a battery charger for the light source.
Make sure there is enough room for the sensor. Especially take into consideration that it
should be easy to mount or dismount and that the sensors lid should be able to open fully.
Safe working space around the sensors are also needed, guardrails, ladders, etc. The figure
below illustrates the process for installation of flanges.
Installation procedure
Figure 2-1
1. Weld the flange tubes loosely on each side of the wall. Do not weld them so hard that the
angle of the tubes can not be adjusted with a hammer.
2. Mount the light source on one flange and the aiming tool on the other flange.
3. Turn on the light source.
4. Adjust the focus on the aiming tool until the light spot from the light source is sharp.
5. Adjust the angle of the process flange tube, using for instance a rubber hammer, until the
light spot is centered on the cross hair on the aiming tool.
6. Weld the aligned flange tube permanently into this position.
7. Shift light source and aiming tool and repeat the procedure above for the opposite flange
until the other tube also is permanently welded.
