1.0 INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Do not attempt to precharge any K-Series pulsa-
tion dampener prior to mounting the unit into the pump
piping system.
The Hydril K-P Series Pulsation Dampener/Surge Stabilizer
should be mounted in the vertical position (refer to Figure 1-
3 and 1-4 for mounting options) with the mating flange con-
nection at the bottom. The discharge dampener should be
mounted as close as possible to the discharge port of the
pump. If possible, it is advantageous that the dampener be
mounted in such a way that the fluid stream is directed to-
wards the fluid opening (see Figures 1-3 and 1-4) for maxi-
mum performance.
1.1 Mounting
1.1.1 Install stud bolts in the replaceable bottom
plate.
1.1.2 Position dampener on gasket and mating
flange so that the space between flange and
bottom connection is totally equal around the
circumference.
1.1.3 Install one lubricated nut on each stud and
tighten one turn at a time until dampener is
firmly in place. Assure that space between
dampener and flange is equal.
1.1.4 Cross tighten nuts to the proper torque. Refer to
bolting data in Section 3.2.
1.2 Precharging (NITROGEN ONLY)
The correct precharge is vital for maximizing efficiency of the
pulsation dampener. Generally, precharge pressure is based
on the average operating pressure of the system, but
precharge can be affected by other system parameters; for
example. the use of MWD tools. For these applications, con-
sult qualified Hydril personnel for correct precharging instruc-
tions.
WARNING: ALWAYS PRECHARGE WITH ZERO PRESSURE
ON THE SYSTEM AND ALWAYS PRECHARGE WITH NITRO-
GEN.
1.3 General Precharging Instructions
1.3.1 The charging valve and pressure gauge are
located under the valve guard and are exposed
by removing the valve guard.
1.3.2 Before precharging the dampener, make sure all
cover stud nuts are tightened evenly and
charging valve and pressure gauge seal nuts
are firmly seated on the dampener.
1.3.3 Precharging is accomplished by connecting one
end of the charging hose assembly to a stan-
dard commercially available NITROGEN bottle
and the other end to the charging valve located
at the top of the pulsation dampener (Refer to
Figure 1-1).
1.3.4 Precharge from a standard commercially
available nitrogen bottle equipped with a
pressure regulator.
1.3.5 For those applications where higher precharge
pressures are required, a gas booster pump is
available; for example, Haskell International Inc.
1.3.6 Open bottle regulator valve until recommended
precharge pressure shows on regulator gauge.

1.3.7. Slowly open charging valve on dampener. Allow
pressure to increase in the dampener until damp-
ener pressure gauge reads the specified pres-
sure. This process will normally take 5 to 15 min-
utes. Dampener gauge and regulator gauge
should read the same and be equal to the speci-
fied precharge pressure.
1.3.8. Close the charging valve and tighten. Then, close
regulator valve at nitrogen bottle. Remove charg-
ing hose, replace dust plug in charging valve, and
replace valve guard.
operating pressure. However, these precharge settings may
shorten diaphragm life.
1.5 Leak Detection
Apply leak detection fluid at all connections around valve, pres-
sure gauge, cover, body contact surfaces, and studs. Ob-
serve carefully for bubbles that indicate leaks. If any indica-
tions are found, check system for loose connections and re-
tighten. Allow the nitrogen gas in the dampener to come to
ambient conditions (approximately one-half hour) and recheck
the precharge pressure.

1.4 Precharge Recommendations
For normal operating conditions, set the precharge pressure
at 50 to 70 percent of the average operating discharge pres-
sure not to exceed 5000 PSI. The precharge pressure can be
as low as 30 percent or as high as 75 percent of system
Adjust the precharge pressure as required. After precharge
pressure has stabilized at specified pressure, close valves,
remove charging hose, and replace valve guard. Dampener
is now ready for operation.

b. Rotate backward if the previous step is not
possible until the valve is positioned in the
proper direction ( turn maximum).
c. After valve is in position, tighten lock nut to 20
5 lb-ft or 27 7 Nm torque.
2.3.20. Install pressure gauge so that the face is posi-
tioned in such a manner that it will be visible
through the valve guard opening:
a. Unscrew lock nut on gauge and thread gauge
into tapped hole.
b. Tighten to 20 5 ft-lb or 27 7 Nm torque.
c. If the gauge is not facing in the proper direc-
tion, take the following steps:
1) Rotate forward if less than a turn is re-
quired to position gauge in proper direc-
tion.
2) Rotate backward if the previous step is
not possible until the gauge is positioned
in the proper direction ( turn maximum).
3) After gauge is in position, tighten seal nut
to 20 5 lb-ft or 27 7 Nm torque.
2.3.21 Set the precharge using the precharge instructions
given in Section 1.
2.3.22 Attach valve guard, and the pulsation dampener is
now ready for use.
2.4 Performance Analysis
See also Figure 2-2 for fault analysis tree.
2.4.1. Precharge
a. When properly installed and precharged, the
pulsation dampener is virtually maintenance
free.
b. The vessel should be checked periodically for
proper precharge and leaks. Unless condi-
tions such as ambient temperature, operating
conditions, or operating temperatures change,
checking every six months should be sufficient.
2.4.2. Low Precharge Effects
a. If the pre-charge pressure is TOO LOW, the
pulsation dampener will fill with excess fluid,
thus losing some of the working volume of the
gas and reducing dampener efficiency.
b. Additionally, excessive flexing of the diaphragm
may cause premature rubber failure at the neck
or equator of the diaphragm.
2.4.3. High Precharge Effects
a. If the pre-charge is TOO HIGH, the diaphragm
insert will rest on the bottom of the dampener,
closing off the fluid inlet.
b. Until the system pressure exceeds the
precharge pressure, no dampening will take
place.
R
PAGE
11
c. During the time the precharge pressure is
nearly equal with the system pressure, the dia-
phragm will bounce on and off the inlet open-
ing which could affect the service life of the
diaphragm.
2.4.4. Precharge Adjustments
A. Precharge Low
1. Original precharge may have been too low.
2. Ambient temperature may have decreased.
3. Check charging valve for leaks.
a. Apply leak detection fluid to threads and valve open-
ings.
b. Tighten loose threads, close valve stem, or replace
valve if stem does not close. CAUTION: Make
sure dampener pressure is at zero psig before
removing charging valve.
4. Check pressure gauge for leaks.
a. Apply leak detection fluid to threads, face, and back
cover.
b. Tighten loose threads. Replace gauge if leaks
continue. CAUTION: Make sure dampener pres-
sure is at zero psig before removing pressure
gauge.
5. Check for leaks between cover and body.
a. Apply leak detection fluid to studs and cover-body
contact surfaces.
b. Tighten stud nuts. If leaks persist, remove cover
and clean mating surfaces. Reassemble and
repeat leak test.
6. Check Diaphragm (if all the above fail to find the leak).
If the dampener will not hold precharge pressure, it
may be due to nitrogen leaks through the diaphragm.
Check for evidence of fluid at either charging valve or
pressure gauge port hole. CAUTION: Make sure damp-
ener pressure is at zero psig before removing charg-
ing valve or pressure gauge. If fluid is present, re-
place diaphragm. See Disassembly and Assembly
Sections.
B. Precharge High
1. Original precharge may have been to high.
2. Ambient temperature may have increased. Release
pressure.
3. Diaphragm may be trapping pressure (system fluid)
when pump is shut down. This will be indicated by a
higher than normal pressure reading on the gauge,
which is usually of a different value, each time the pump
shuts down. This condition usually occurs when the
fluid is highly viscous. Installation of a diaphragm
stabilizer should cure this condition.
CAUTION: If it is determined that any items need to be
replaced or dampener cover removed, PLEASE FOL-
LOW THE DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY PROCE-
DURES.

* Temperature range is the dynamic characteristic desired from diaphragm and may vary from conventional elastomer ratings.
3.7 Storage of Diaphragms
Store Hydril diaphragms in original box in a dry, cool position and away from electrical machinery and areas of
(idealy below 80oF) and dark location especially away high ozone content. Always use the practice of first in, first
from direct sunlight. Keep diaphragm in a relaxed out when storing diaphragms.
