Description / Abstract:
This Practice describes the minimum requirements for permanently mounted top- and side-entering tank mixers installed in nonpressurized, flat bottom tanks or vessels. Mixers are used to create a nearly homogeneous fluid in a tank or vessel.
This Practice does not cover requirements for process agitators, mixers, or agitators with steady bearings for shaft stabilization. Portable and clamp-on, light duty agitators, in-line and jet-type mixers, and high-speed dispersers are also not covered by this Practice.
A tank mixer data sheet, RESM002-D or RESM002-DM, is included with this Practice. This data sheet may be used to communicate purchaser requirements; however, supplemental information may be necessary to fully define process requirements.
This Practice does not cover requirements for the installation of mixers.
Purpose
This Practice provides requirements for designers and manufacturers of permanently mounted tank mixers of both top- and side-entering designs for use in process facilities.
