Essential Instructions for Pressure Containing Equipment, Including
the European Union (Directive 97/23/EC)
When installing the equipment the bolting must con-
form to the requirements of ASME B16.5 paragraph
5.3 and to the material requirements of ASME B16.5
Table 1B. Gaskets must conform to the requirements
of ASME B16.20.
Although it is not expected for the device to be used
in a service where it would come in to contact with
unstable fl uids, it is the end users responsibility to
assess any risks and take any precautions necessary.
It is the end users responsibility to ensure that pip-
ing and other attachments connected to the Brodie
instrument do not place adverse stresses upon it, the
design of the instrument has not been assessed for
the effects of traffi c, wind or earthquake loadings.
It is the end users responsibility to ensure that the
instrument is mounted when required on suitable
supporting foundations.
It is the end users responsibility to install the device
in a well designed system to avoid potential hazards
such as water hammer, vacuum collapse or uncon-
trolled chemical reactions.
It is the end users responsibility to provide fi re protec-
tion measures and equipment in accordance with the
local regulations.
It is the end users responsibility to install suitable
straining and air/gas elimination systems.
The instrument has been designed without allowance
for corrosion or other chemical attack. The end user
should implement a periodic inspection and main-
tenance program to ensure that none of the instru-
ments pressure containing components has been
subject to any corrosion. It is possible to examine the
instrument for evidence of corrosion through the inlet
and the outlet.
When the ambient temperature is below the minimum
operating temperature specifi ed on the device, it is
the end users responsibility to ensure that the devise
is warmed to an appropriated temperature before
being pressurized.
Do not exceed the operating pressure and tempera-
ture limits of the instrument as stamped on the name-
plates.
It is the customer’s responsibility to install this equip-
ment in a system that provides adequate over pres-
sure protection, and that limit pressure surges to 10%
of the maximum allowable working pressure of the
instrument.
It is the end users responsibility to provide fi re protec-
tion measures and equipment in accordance with the
local regulations.
