3 Marking of the fitting
Each fitting bears the following markings as a minimum:
For Marking Remark
Manufacturer MANKENBERG See section Further information [}14] for the address
Fitting design Separator + type Design name as per accompanying MANKENBERG data sheet
Nominal
diameter
e.g. DN or G and
numerical value
Numerical value for DN in [mm], for G in [inches]
Nominal
pressure
PN or Class and
numerical value
Numerical value for PN in [bar], for Class in [lbs/square inch]
pressure data are displayed as overpressure above the
atmospheric pressure
Max. permitted
temp.
Temperature and
numerical value
Temperatures above 50 °C entail a reduced pressure
resistance. This must be considered for the corresponding
material in accordance with the DIN EN 1092 standard
Body material e.g. CrNiMo steel CrNiMo steel = high-alloy austenitic steel
Flow direction indicated by an arrow
The markings (in the case of fittings made of deep-drawn stainless steel, they are etched into the body) should
neither be covered nor painted over, so that the fitting remains identifiable.
4 Safety instructions
4.1 General precaution
The same safety regulations apply to a fitting as to the system into which it is installed. These instructions only
give those safety recommendations that have to be additionally observed for the fitting.
4.2 Special safety instructions for the plant operator
The following requirements for the intended use of a fitting are not the responsibility of the manufacturer but
have to be guaranteed by the user.
» The fitting may only be employed for the purpose described in section Intended use [}4].
» Only competent specialist personnel may install, operate and service the fitting. Competent as defined in
these instructions refers to persons who, because of their training, specialist knowledge and professional
experience, are capable of correctly assessing and properly executing the work with which they are
entrusted and of recognizing and rectifying hazards.
» The pipeline system must be properly designed and installed so that the fitting can be mounted and
operated without any tension.
» The fitting must be properly installed in the correct mounting position (condensate outlet at the bottom).
» The separator is only applicable for gases / steam with a solid content clearly lower than the liquid content.
This fitting is not a dust separator.
» The drainage of the condensate from the separator must be provided by the customer.
» The usual flow rates should not be exceeded in the pipeline section during continuous operation, and
abnormal operating conditions such as vibrations, unusually high flow rates, etc. should be avoided or – if
unavoidable – clarified with the manufacturer in advance.
