9.3.6 PR-23-AC I-Line ng
K-Patents Sanitary Refractometer PR-23-AC-ZC can be mounted using 3-A Sanitary
approved 2.5 inch Cherry Burrell I-Line ittings that are made of interlocking lat face
ferrules, a lat gasket and a clamp. This interlocking, metal-to-metal design eliminates
over compression by the clamp not allowing the gasket to be extruded into the product
contact side.
Sensor wetted parts material is AISI 316L or Hastelloy C, gaskets EPDM.

9.3.7 Mounng specics for EHEDG cered PR-23-AC conguraon
K-Patents offers certain PR-23-AC conigurations which have been certiied to fulill
the sanitary requirements published by EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering &
Design Group) organization. During this certiication the hygienic characteristics of
both the refractometer and the process connection were evaluated against the applic-
able requirements.
To ensure EHEDG compliant installation, follow the mounting speciics provided on

9.3.8 3A Sanitary Standard compliance
The user should ensure that the refractometer is not a source of contamination to
product due to damaged or worn product contact surfaces. Misuse (e.g. too long prism
wash time or too high wash pressure) or mishandling may result in metal scratches
or roughened surfaces. Such surfaces may not stay clean in processing.
