Endress+Hauser CPA450: Retractable Assembly for Processes

The First Step in Retractable Assemblies

The manual Cleanfit CPA450 represents an accessible entry point into the world of retractable assemblies, offering significant advantages for sensor installation and maintenance. Specifically engineered for integration into thick-walled tanks or large pipes, it effectively handles challenging media, including those that are fibrous or prone to coating buildup. The CPA450 features an integrated ball valve that reliably seals the process, simplifying sensor handling and eliminating the need for process interruption or tank emptying during service.

Designed for Robust Industrial Applications

The Cleanfit CPA450 is ideal for installation in various demanding industrial settings, including the chemical industry, pulp and paper manufacturing, power plants, and wastewater treatment facilities. Its robust design allows it to cope efficiently with fibrous media or substances that tend to form coatings on sensor surfaces. This makes it a versatile solution for processes where maintaining uninterrupted operation and ensuring accurate measurements are critical, even with challenging process materials.

Seamless Sensor Handling Without Interruption

A primary benefit of the CPA450 is the elimination of process downtime for electrode cleaning, calibration, or replacement. The integrated stainless steel ball valve provides a reliable barrier, separating the sensor from the process. This means that maintenance can be performed swiftly and safely without needing to halt operations or drain tanks, leading to substantial savings in maintenance time and associated costs, while also enhancing overall operational safety.

Variable Immersion Depth for Flexibility

The CPA450 offers significant flexibility in its application due to its variable immersion depth capability, extending up to 700 mm. This allows the assembly to be adapted to a wide range of tank and pipe configurations, ensuring optimal sensor positioning for accurate measurements regardless of the installation’s specific geometry. This adaptability makes it a highly versatile solution, suitable for a broad spectrum of process monitoring needs across different industries.

Adapts to Diverse Applications and Materials

Further enhancing its versatility, the CPA450 can be flexibly adapted to numerous applications through a wide variety of material choices and process connection options. Available in materials such as stainless steel 1.4404, Alloy C22, and titanium for the immersion tube, along with different O-ring materials like EPDM, Viton, or Kalrez, the assembly can be configured to withstand highly corrosive or demanding media. This ensures compatibility and longevity in diverse operational environments.

High Operating Safety with Reliable Sealing

Operating safety is a paramount consideration with the CPA450, primarily attributed to its ball valve made of high-grade stainless steel. This component ensures reliable separation from the process media, preventing leaks and safeguarding personnel and equipment. Coupled with its suitability for pressures up to 12 bar (at 100 °C), the CPA450 provides a secure and dependable solution for sensor installations in challenging industrial environments where maintaining process integrity is crucial.

Broad Compatibility with Process Connections

The CPA450 is designed for broad compatibility, offering various process connection options to suit different installation requirements. These include thread connections like G 1 1/4″ and NPT 1 1/4″, as well as flange connections such as DN32 PN16 and ASME 1 1/4″. This range of fittings ensures that the manual retractable assembly can be easily integrated into existing piping and tank systems, simplifying the installation process and expanding its applicability across different plant designs.
