Operating
pressure
If the operating pressure reaches a critical value, the pump unit must
be brought immediately into a safe operating condition.
The permissible operating pressures are listed in the order-related
documents or in the operator's manual of the respective pump types.

If the differential pressure reaches a critical value, the pump unit must
be brought immediately into a safe operating condition.
The permissible differential pressures are listed in the order-related
documents or in the operator's manual of the respective pump types.

temperature
If the pumping media temperature, the surface temperature
or the
sealing/quench medium temperature reaches a critical value, the pump
unit must be brought immediately into a safe operating condition.
The pumping media temperature must be monitored at the outlet side
or directly behind the outlet side of the pump.
A suitable resistance thermometer must be set to the limit value of the
respective Atex temperature class.
Monitoring of the pumping media temperature, surface temperature
or
sealing/quench media temperature by display of critical values:
The permissible temperature application limits are listed in the order-
related documents and in the additional ATEX operator's manual in
section 3.1.3.
If no information on the sealing/quench media temperature has been
given in the order-related documentation, the maximum sealing/quench
media temperature must be T≤70 °C. This sealing/quench media
temperature may not be exceeded. The operating company is
responsible for compliance with the temperature.
If it cannot guarantee this, the operating company must ensure that the
temperature is not exceeded (e.g., using a sealing/quench container
with cooling coil for cooling, temperature monitoring with automatic
switch-off, ...)
