Approved media for the pressure pipe
Series DP … 06 may be used for water,compressed air and hydraulic oil, the series DP and DPN for water, having the quality
described below. Other media including additives (e.g. anticorrosion or antifreeze agents) must be checked for compatibility with
the sealing materials at the manufacturer's site.
Thermal oil must not be used under any circumstances since the elastomers used in the units are not compatible with such me-
dia! Use only type DP … -800 rotary joints for thermal oil!
Specifications - standard media
General
The quality of the water used plays a decisive role regarding the service life and reliability of Maier rotary joints. It is strongly rec-
ommended that the media the specifications listed below. Inappropriate water quality will result in heavy wear of the seals and
premature failure of the rotary joint.
Section 1: Water at temperatures -10°C - 70°C (14°F – 158°F) for rotary joint DP and DPN
General: clear, no sediments
Filtration: particle size 20 µm (788µin), max. 50µm (1969µin]
Water hardness: < 3,2 mmol/l (322 ppm CaCO3)
If required, add a suitable antifreeze agent and a silicate-free anticorrosion agent (ensure compatibility with the materials
used in the unit, check back with manufacturer, if necessary).
Section 2: Water at temperatures > 70°C (158°F) for rotary joint DP and DPN
General: clear, no sediments
Filtration: particle size 20 µm (788µin), max. 50µm (1969µin]
Water hardness: < 3,2 mmol/l (322 ppm CaCO3)
Low salt concentration according to VdTÜV- Guideline TCh 1466 "Guideline for Circulation Water in Hot Water and Warm
Water Heating Systems" ("Richtlinie für das Kreislaufwasser in Heißwasser – und Warmwasserheizungsanlagen), sheet 1
If required, add a suitable antifreeze agent and a silicate-free anticorrosion agent (ensure compatibility with the materials
used in the unit, check back with manufacturer, if necessary).
Section 3: Thermal oil temperature < 160 °C (320°F) for rotary joint series DP … -800
Material groups: 1. Thermal oil consisting of hydrocarbons (mineral base, group 1)
2. Thermal oil made of isomer mixture (synthetic base – group 2)
Only upon request:
Thermal oil consisting of uniform material (synthetic base – group 3)
General: clear, no sediments
Filtration: particle size 50 µm,(1969µin) max. 100µm (3937µin)
Steam pressure*: The steam pressure must not exceed 0.5 bar (7,25 psi) abs at maximum operating tempera-
ture.
*: Steam pressure is the pressure at which a liquid becomes gaseous. The steam pressure depends on the temperature of
the liquid.
Specific heat
conductivity:
For maximum heat dissipation in the sealing gap, the value should be as good as possible.
Kinematic
viscosity:
For excellent flow in the system and lubrication effect in the rotary joint, the following values
should be attained:
- as low as possible at minimum application temperature
- as high as possible at maximum application temperature.
