Secondary pressure containment
Where the meter is being used to measure high pressure gases and / or gases kept as liquids by
high pressure and / or where there is a risk of tube failure because of the use of corrosive or
erosive fluids, frequent pressure and / or thermal cycling, seismic or other shock loading, a
secondary containment option MUST be purchased
Where the above situation applies and the process pressure exceeds the secondary pressure
containment (please refer to technical data) or where secondary pressure containment is not
available, the burst disc option MUST also be purchased. For more information, please contact
your nearest representative.
1.6 Dirty gas
Dirty gas is gas that carries sand or other solid particles. Dirty gas causes excessive wear to the
primary measuring tube that can eventually result in complete tube failure. In some situations
tube failure where gas is being measured, can be very dangerous.
