WARNING
Danger from medium escaping!
Medium escaping under pressure can cause injury or material damage.
‣
Take precautions to prevent danger to persons and damage if the rupture disk is
actuated.
‣
Observe the information on the rupture disk sticker.
‣
Make sure that the function and operation of the rupture disk is not impeded through
the installation of the device.
‣
Do not use a heating jacket.
‣
Do not remove or damage the rupture disk.
‣
After the rupture disk is actuated, do not operate the measuring device any more.
The position of the rupture disk is indicated on a sticker applied over it. If the rupture disk
is triggered, the sticker is destroyed. The disk can therefore be visually monitored.

Zero verification and zero adjustment
All measuring instruments are calibrated in accordance with state-of-the-art technology.
Calibration takes place under reference conditions → 273. Therefore, a zero adjustment
in the field is generally not required.
Experience shows that zero adjustment is advisable only in special cases:
• To achieve maximum measurement accuracy even with low flow rates.
• Under extreme process or operating conditions (e.g. very high process temperatures or
very high-viscosity fluids).
• For gas applications with low pressure
To achieve the highest possible measurement accuracy at low flow rates, the
installation must protect the sensor from mechanical stresses during operation.
To get a representative zero point, ensure that:
• any flow in the device is prevented during the adjustment
• the process conditions (e.g. pressure, temperature) are stable and representative
