Safety instructions and measures
DANGER !
Risk of bursting in pressure equipment.
The dp cell of the differential pressure meter and pipelines are pressure equipment
according to Directive 2014/68/EU. Improper opening can lead to leakage or bursting
of plant or device components.
Î
Before starting any work on the differential pressure meter, depressurize all plant
sections affected as well as the dp cell.
Î
Drain the process medium from all the plant sections affected as well as the dp cell.
Î
Wear protective clothing as specified in the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for
the process medium.
Risk of injury due to incorrect handling of oxygen or cryogenic gases in applications.
The differential pressure meter is frequently used for oxygen service or applications with
cryogenic gases (see the 'Markings on the device' section). Oxygen is a hazardous
substance, which reacts quickly, leading to combustion and explosions. Contact with
cryogenic gases causes severe frostbite and cold burns (cryogenic burns). Operating
personnel must be trained for these applications. Unqualified operating personnel
expose themselves and others to an increased risk of injury.
Î
Operating personnel must be sufficiently trained and be made aware of the hazards
in applications involving oxygen or cryogenic gases.
Î
When replacing parts that come into contact with gaseous oxygen, wear suitable
gloves and do not contaminate any parts with oil or grease.
Î
Instructions and information on how to safely handle devices for oxygen service can
be found in the Manual
