The retrieval tool TKS RP and service valve can be used to insert or retrieve corrosion
m onitoring devices from process system s operating under full pressure (up to 6000 psi or
413 Bar). Also can be used to retrieve a variety of sensors from either the M H TM high
The tool is constructed to com ply with NACE M R-0175 and is pressure tested at the
factory for a working pressure of 7800 psi (537 Bar). The standard tool and service valve
are suitable for operation between -4 ÛF and 450ÛF (-20ÛC and 232ÛC), both version of the
retriever tool and valve use carbon steel construction of the ham m er nut.

II. Safety
a. Test and check should be done to all equipm ent before attem pting to use in field.
c. Do not use this retrieval equipm ent unless you have been trained in its safe operation.
d. M ake sure you have com plied with all plant safety requirem ents and environm ental
regulations.
e. Identify the type m edia its pressure and tem perature. Review m aterial safety data
f. Ensure you have all the required safety equipm ent and used, i.e.: protective clothing,
safety helm et, safety glasses, safety gloves, ear plug, safety shoes and breathing
g. Any actions, which could vary system pressure such as surges, caused by opening
and closing of valves and chokes should be delayed until com pletion of retrieval
operations.
h. Insure you have enough clearance for safe operation; there m ust be sufficient space
available for head room as well as enough shoulder room to allow free m ovem ent of
the equipm ent as well as of the operator. Clearance beyond the top of the access
fitting body is required for m ovem ent and installation of the retriever and service valve.
GLOAZURE CO.,Ltd.
For shoulder room above ground level requires 3 feet radius circle and below ground
level a m inim um diam eter of 4 feet is required with the fitting located off to one side of
the hole.
i. Ensure you have scaffolding if the Access fitting that to be serviced is m ounted above
the operator.
