11.12 PED
The pressure equipment directive 2014/68/EU applies to the alignment of the statutory orders
of the European member states for pressure equipment. Such equipment in the sense of the
directive includes vessels, pipelines and accessories with a maximum allowable pressure of
more than 0.5 bar above atmospheric. Flowmeters are considered as piping.
A detailed risk analysis of the flowmeter has been performed in accordance with the PED
2014/68/EU. All risks are assessed to be "none" provided that the procedures and standards
referenced in these operating instructions are observed.
Division according to the danger potential
Flowmeters, which are categorized as piping, are divided into categories according to danger
potential (medium, pressure, nominal diameter). The flowmeters fall into the categories I to III
or they are manufactured according to Paragraph 3 - Sound Engineering Practice (SEP).
The following criteria are decisive for assessment of the danger potential, and are also shown
in Diagrams 6 to 9.
Fluid group Group 1 or 2
● Aggregate state
Liquid or gaseous
● Type of
pressurized
equipment
– Pipeline
Product of pressure and volume (PS * V [barL])
The maximum allowable temperature for the used liquids or gases is the maximum process
temperature which can occur, as defined by the user. This must be within the limits defined
for the equipment.
Division of media (liquid/gaseous) into the fluid groups
Fluids are divided according to Article 9 into the following fluid groups:
