4.2 Instructions for oxygen applications
Warning:

grease, some plastics and dirt can burn explosively on contact with
oxygen. There is a risk of serious personal injury or damage to prop-
erty.
Therefore, to avoid this, take the following precautions, for example:
•
All components of the system - measuring instruments - must
be cleaned in accordance with the requirements of recognized
regulations or standards
•
Depending on the seal material, certain temperatures and pres-
sures must not be exceeded in oxygen applications, see chapter "
Technical data"
•
Devices for oxygen applications may only be unpacked from the
PE foil just before assembly.
•
