We quoted and delivered Flanged Type DN 300 Beavertail Baffle c/w a temperature probe, as this is usually the best option. The baffle can be fitted and taken out of the vessel easily as it can be lowered into the vessel through the nozzle.
I am not sure what the size of the nozzle N9 is at the Cork plant. However whatever the nozzle size is – a finger baffle is not a flanged type baffle and will require a stuffing box. The finger baffle must be lowered into the vessel through the main opening or manway and then take through N9.
