11. Safe-Drive
The Safe‑Driv
e system is used for safe insertion and removal of a refractometer sensor while
the process line is under full process flow and pressure. The Safe‑Drive system is typically
used in a continuous process with infrequent shutdowns and large pipe size, diameter
50 mm (2 in) or above, for example in wood pulp industry.
11.1 Safe‑Driv
e system description
The Safe‑Driv
e system consists of a Safe‑Drive isolation valve welded to the process pipe, a
PR‑23‑SD refractometer sensor and a Safe‑Drive retractor used for sensor insertion and
removal. The two-part retractor can be kept separately in clean storage and all the installed
PR‑23‑SD sensors can be inserted and removed with one the and same tool.
