Installation FLSE100-XT
5.1
Intended use
FLSE100-XT sender/receiver units may only be used to measure the gas velocity, gas
volume, mass flow and molecular weight in pipelines.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible pressure and temperature values shown on the
type plates of the FLSE100-XT sender/receiver units in operation.
Using the device for purposes other than those intended can lead to safety-critical
conditions. The manufacturer bears no responsibility for any other use.
5.2
Safety information
5.2.1
Hazards due to hot, cold (cryogenic) or aggressive gases, or high pressure
The FLSE100-XT sender/receiver units are mounted directly on the gas-carrying pipeline.
On equipment with low hazard potential, e.g., non-toxic, aggressive or explosive gases,
gases not hazardous to health, uncritical pressure, moderate gas temperature (not hot,
very low/cryogenic), the installation or removal can be performed while the equipment is in
operation, however only as far as the valid regulations and equipment safety notices are
observed and suitable protective measures are taken. Special regulations that apply to the
plant must be observed.
WARNING:
Gas hazard
▸
Activities on equipment with increased hazard potential, e.g. by toxic,
aggressive, explosive gases, health endangering, higher pressure, high
temperatures, low temperature (cryogenic), have to follow legitimate
regulations, general standards and guidelines as well as plant operator
instructions. Only authorized personnel with special qualification for fitting
using the ”Hot Tapping” method may install the devices when the plant is in
operation (requirements on the qualification of the personnel, see
). Otherwise, serious injuries might occur, e.g. poisoning, burns etc.
These persons must be trained and technically adept in ”hot tapping”
installation work and must know and implement legal as well as generally
applicable regulations and in-house regulations.
▸
The express approval of the plant operator in written form is required for
installations on running equipment at all times. The plant operator carries
the responsibility for professional implementation alone. All safety
requirements relevant for the equipment must be observed as well as
essential and suitable protective measures taken. All regulations/special
regulations that can be applicable for the plant must be observed.
