Rebuilding Procedure for Resistoflex Bull's
Eye Sight Glass Indicator (BESI)
Purpose
To establish written documentation for assembly of Bull's Eye Sight
Indicator (BESI) assemblies.
Scope
Covers assembly of all BESI Assy's (DI, CS, or SS).
Procedure
Procedure begins after retaining flange, solid PTFE flat gasket, glass, FEP disc,
and PTFE envelope gasket have been removed. Wood covers should be
installed on the "run" flares to ensure they stay flat until time of
installation.
Note: If an end user must disassemble a BESI for any reason, the PTFE
envelope gaskets and FEP disks must always be replaced, even if the BESI
has never been in service.
- To begin rebuild, Install PTFE envelope gasket centered between
studs and against the PTFE flare on the cross. Note: If installing a
flutter flow indicator, it goes on the flare first, then the
PTFE envelope gasket.
- Install FEP disc centered on PTFE gasket.
- Install glass centered on FEP disc, taking care to check glass prior
to installation for chips and cracks. If chips or cracks are noted,
replace glass.
- Place solid PTFE flat gasket in recessed area of retaining flange and install
over glass, taking care to insure glass fits into recessed area of
flange and alignment of gaskets is not disturbed.
- Place lock washer on studs, install flat washer, and install nuts on
studs.
- Repeat above for other port, if necessary.
- Starting on 5 foot pounds and increasing in 5 ft-lb. increments,
torque nuts in a "star pattern" until torque values indicated are reached.
Allow assembly to sit at least 12 hours, then retorque all nuts in same
manner as above.

- Touch up all unpainted washers, studs, and nuts with standard primer.
- Hydrostatically test assembled and torqued sight glass indicator.
- Set test pressure to 425 psi
- Fill assembly with water and bleed off any air remaining in the
assembly.
- Initiate test cycle, which consists of three cycles of one minute
each.
- During test, pressure should not fall below 425 PSI and no leaks
should be visible.
- Any leakage detected from assembly or vent holes is cause for
rejection.
- If assembly does not pass test, retorque per item no. 7 and re-test.
- If assembly continues to leak , disassemble, inspect for damaged
components, re-assemble, retorque, and retest.
Note: Due to environmental conditions, there may be some water
or condensation trapped between the liner OD and the housing ID that
would appear at the vent hole upon initial pressurization during the
hydrotest. This type of moisture will not be continuous, and is not
a cause for rejection.
