Purpose and characteristics of the galvanized measurement port

The galvanized measurement port is a component designed to create safe and repeatable measurement points in chimneys and flue gas ducts. It enables measurements of pressure, temperature and emission parameters in industrial, district heating and technological installations. As standard, an M64x4 measurement port with an internal thread is offered, available off the shelf, allowing the chimney to be quickly equipped with a ready connection point for probes. This type of measurement port for chimneys represents a compromise between price and resistance to operating conditions, proving effective both in new installations and during modernization of existing flue gas exhaust systems.

Zinc coating – anti-corrosion protection and durability in operation

The galvanized measurement port is manufactured from steel protected with a zinc coating, which improves corrosion resistance and extends the service life of the component when exposed to flue gases and variable atmospheric conditions. As a result, galvanized steel measurement ports are well suited for typical industrial chimneys where good durability is required while maintaining reasonable costs. The zinc coating protects the surface of the port against corrosion, while the solid internal thread allows repeated and secure mounting of measurement probes without the risk of damaging the thread seat. This solution is positioned between carbon steel and stainless steel versions, combining functionality with a favorable price-to-durability ratio.

Flanged or non-flanged design – installation flexibility in chimneys

The galvanized measurement port can be supplied in a flanged or non-flanged version, depending on design requirements and the method of installation in the chimney. The flange is matched to the pipe diameter, which facilitates the installation of measurement ports in both new and modernized systems, including industrial chimneys with varied cross-sections. Measurement ports designed in this way ensure stable positioning, tightness and convenient access for teams performing flue gas measurements. The flexible design makes it possible to select a variant suitable for a specific installation and operating conditions, while installation of measurement ports in systems is straightforward for experienced installation teams.

Key features

The galvanized measurement port combines anti-corrosion protection provided by the zinc coating with a refined design intended for operation in chimneys and flue gas ducts. The key features important from the perspective of users and maintenance services include:
  • Manufactured from galvanized steel, providing increased corrosion resistance
  • Standard M64x4 measurement port with an internal thread, available off the shelf
  • Option to choose a flanged or non-flanged version, with the flange matched to the pipe diameter
  • Stable and tight construction facilitating repeated insertion of measurement probes
  • Possibility of use within stainless steel / galvanized steel measurement port configurations in different parts of the installation
  • Product designed and manufactured at Karnatech’s facilities in Stalowa Wola, with quality control at every stage

Applications

Galvanized measurement ports are intended for applications where measurement points with good corrosion resistance are required while maintaining reasonable costs. Typical application areas include in particular:
  • Measurement ports for industrial chimneys in district heating, power generation and industry
  • Measurement ports for flue gas testing in chimneys, including periodic flue gas emission measurements
  • Creation of pressure and temperature measurement points in flue gas ducts and technological channels
  • Installation of measurement ports in new and modernized systems, including locations exposed to atmospheric conditions
  • Use in systems where a compromise between durability and cost is sought, for example in stainless steel / galvanized steel measurement port configurations

Karnatech production and custom-made solutions

The galvanized measurement port is entirely designed and manufactured at Karnatech’s facilities in Stalowa Wola, ensuring repeatable workmanship and the possibility of adapting parameters to user requirements. In addition to the standard M64x4 model, custom-made measurement ports are also available – manufactured according to an individual design or guidelines, with selection of length, diameter, mounting method and flange type. For requirements related to flue gas emission measurements in accordance with applicable standards, Karnatech also offers measurement ports for flue gas emission testing in compliance with PN-Z-04030-7. Additional technical information and customization options can be obtained directly from the manufacturer.
