2.2 Manufacturer's design and safety statement
● Responsibility for the choice of flowmeter pipe material as regards abrasion and corrosion
resistance lies with the purchaser. The effect of any change in process medium during
operation of the meter should be taken into account. Incorrect selection of flowmeter pipe
material could lead to failure of the flowmeter.
● Stresses and loading caused by earthquakes, traffic, high winds and fire damage are not
taken into account during flowmeter design.
● Do not install the flowmeter such that it acts as a focus for pipeline stresses. External loading
is not taken into account during flowmeter design.
● Please be aware of the risk of installing the sensor in a highly vibrating environment. Parts
may shake loose and the complete system must be monitored in that case.
● Flanges and joints as well as related pressure/temperature (p/t) classification has been
described in EN 1092-1. See ferrite steel group 1E1: table 15.
● During operation do not exceed the pressure and/or temperature ratings indicated on the
data label or in these operating instructions.
● It is recommended that all installations include an appropriate safety valve and adequate
means for draining.
