2.1.
The liquid pulsation damper is intended for pulsation damping
when transferring and metering liquids.
Owner's responsibility
Only install and operate the liquid pulsation damper under the
operating parameters and conditions described in Chapter 4,
Technical data.
Only complete liquid pulsation dampers may be taken into service.
Before transferring or metering a medium, check that it can be
transferred without risk in the specific application case.
Before using a medium, make sure that it is compatible with the
materials used to construct the upper section and the separating
diaphragm.
The temperature of the medium must lie within the permissible
temperature range (see Chapter 4).
The transferred medium should not contain particles as these can
prevent the liquid pulsation damper from working correctly. If this
cannot be ensured, a filter with a sufficiently large filter area must
be used upstream of the liquid pulsation damper.
The .51 versions of our liquid pulsation dampers have been certi-
fied by NSF according to the standard NSF/ANSI 169 and are
therefore suitable for use with foodstuffs without any restrictions.
All materials used have been checked through a series of toxico-
logical tests. In order to ensure that the food grade quality is main-
tained, NSF will carry out a yearly audit checking our certified
products.
Only the liquid pulsation dampers marked with ".51" are NSF-
certified and contain a defined material combination that also has a
FDA certificate of conformity.

* Liquid pulsation dampers with other customer-specific certified material
combinations are available on request.
All certified liquid pulsation dampers are clearly marked with
“.51” in the type designation along with the NSF-logo on the
type plate. If either or both of these markings are missing, the
liquid pulsation damper is not certified.
