4.1 Installation safety precautions
WARNING
In applications with working pressures/media that can be dangerous to people,
surroundings, equipment or others in case of pipe fracture, we recommend that special
precautions such as special placement, shielding or installation of a security guard or a
security valve are taken when the sensor is mounted.
● Ensure that stresses and loading caused by earthquakes, traffic, high winds and fire
damage if appropriate are taken into account during installation.
● Ensure that the flowmeter is installed such that it does not act as a focus for pipeline
stresses. External loadings are not taken into account during flowmeter design.
● Provide adequate protection to minimise any risk of contact with hot surfaces.
WARNING
Prevent personal injuries by assurin
g that operation below pressure guards cannot take
place, if working with vacuum or fluids boiling readily.
