THEORY OF OPERATION
The ideal solution for oil-in-water detection, the KAM® OOD™ Optical Oil Detector offers unmatched simplicity and
pin-point accuracy in an in-line meter. The OOD allows operators to monitor produced water, leak detection and
wastewater streams for the presence of hydrocarbons in a variety of applications, providing continuous, real-time
data with a variable range up to 0-5000 ppm. Fiber optics within the optical probe respond to the fluorescence and
absorption in the fluid to detect the presence and quantity of hydrocarbons in water.
The simplicity of design and quality of engineering employed in the KAM® OOD™ mean there are no moving parts.
Using a long-lasting LED light source ensures long-term, stable performance with limited maintenance and power
requirements. In addition, locating the electronics within an explosion-proof enclosure directly on the atmospheric
end of the optical probe creates a complete and compact unit with maximum installation flexibility.
Measurement is completely automatic without the need for operator intervention or supervision, and the output
signal can be sent to the SCADA, PLC’s, or to a central control room for logging or display on chart recorders or
monitors.

The KAM OOD can be installed directly in main
lines with a pipe diameter of 4" and greater.
FIG. 3-1.
On applications where the pipe diameter is less
than 4” the instrument must be installed on a
"T" or analyzer loop with a minimum distance of
6” before any bends, reducers, elbows, valves,
etc. FIG. 3-2.
PLEASE NOTE: In all KAM OOD installations,
the user should ensure that the KAM OOD
is installed in a turbulent flow per KAM
recommendations.

DO NOT install the
fast loop OOD™
sensor in a straight
portion of pipe.
It needs to be
mounted off the
bend opposite the
pump.
DO NOT install
the OOD™ sensor
with the lens facing
directly into the
flow. If the product
has particulate
matter in the fluid,
like sand, this will
sandblast the lens
and could cause
premature failure.
DO NOT attempt to
screw the OOD™

Always use a

Remove all the protective packaging materials including the protective cap on the tip of the sensor and ensure that the
OOD™ sensor was not damaged during transit.
PRIORTO INSTALLATION
INSERTABLE/RETRACTABLE MODELS INSTALLATION
KAM CONTROLS recommends vertical installations
wherever possible. For horizontal pipelines, we
recommend installing the OOD™ sensor at a 3 or
9 o’clock position to ensure the tip of the probe
remains in the fluid, and to minimize deposits of oil
and dirt in the lens. FIG. 3-3.
A Full-opening Ball Valve is used to isolate the
OOD™ sensor from the pipeline during installation
or removal. The seal housing of the OOD™ sensor
allows the optical probe to be inserted and removed
from the pipe under pressure and flow conditions.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the
OOD™ sensor is installed per the recommendations
of this manual.
1. Lay the OOD™ sensor on the ground or a table.
2. Loosen the Socket Cap Screws, using a 3/8" Allen
wrench on the locking collar. This will allow the
OOD™ shaft to slide through the seal housing.
3. Push the OOD™ back through the seal housing
until the OOD™ probe sits flush with the end of
the seal housing or seal housing flange.
FIG. 3-4 and 3-5. (Remove red protection cap on
the tip of the probe if it has not been removed.)
4. Place a mark with a sharpie or a permanent
marker on the shaft at the edge of the locking
collar. (Do not use anything sharp to mark the
shaft as this will create grooves that will damage
the O-rings in the seal housing.) FIG. 3-4 and 3-5.

INSERTION LENGTH
Prior to mounting the OOD™ sensor on the
Full-opening Ball Valve, you must determine the
insertion length required.

NOTE: If line pressure exceeds 100 psi, use a
KAM®IT Insertion Tool when installing/removing
the KAM®OOD™ sensor. Failure to do so could
result in damage to the instrument and/or serious
bodily injury.

5. Pull shaft back until the probe is all the way in the seal housing
and tighten the Socket Cap Screws on the locking collar. This will
prevent the OOD™ shaft from sliding and the probe from getting
damaged during mounting. FIG. 3-6.

Calculate the insertion distance for Flanged Seal Housing (If you have a MNPT Seal Housing, proceed to step 9):
Total Insertion Distance (TID) = D1 + Pipe Wall Thickness + Seal Thickness + X
Use Table 3-1 to determine "X" value.
Example for D1=19", Pipe WT=3/8", Seal Thickness=1/8", and Pipe Diameter=6" (X=1")
TID=19 + .375 + .125 + 1
TID= 20.5"

pipe to the tip of the valve. FIG. 3-7.
8. Use the calculated TID and mark a second line on the shaft, measuring from first mark. FIG. 3-8. (Do not use
anything sharp to mark the shaft as this will create grooves that will damage the O-rings in the seal housing.)

9. Calculate the insertion distance for 2" MNPT Seal Housing:
Total Insertion Distance (TID) cannot be calculated until the Seal Housing is screwed into place. If you have not
already done so, please screw your OOD™ sensor into place now.
You must then measure the Threaded Depth (TD) into the Valve or connection in order to calculate TID.
You can do this by measuring the distance from the edge of the Valve or female connection to the top of the Seal
Housing body and subtracting that distance from 6.75". FIG. 3-9.

Measuring points
For example:
If the measured distance from the top of the valve to the top of the seal housing body is 6.1",
you would calculate the Threaded Depth (TD) by subtracting 6.1" from 6.75".
(6.75 – 6.1=0.65) In this case the threaded depth TD would be .65".
You are now ready to calculate TID.
TID = D1 + Pipe Wall Thickness + X – TD
Use Table 3-2 to determine "X" value.
Example for D1=19", Pipe WT=3/8", TD=.65", and Pipe diameter=6" (X=1")
TID=19 + .375 + 1 – .65
TID=19.77"
