Operating conditions for ultrasonic transducers
The FLOWSIC600-XT is designed solely for use under normal atmospheric conditions in
potentially explosive atmospheres. The atmospheric conditions must be within the
following ranges:
– Ambient pressure range 80 kPa (0.8 bar) to 110 kPa (1.1 bar)
– Air with normal oxygen content, normally 21 percent by volume
– Maximum operating altitude 2,000 mNN
The ambient temperature must be within the range specified on the Signal Processing Unit
type plate.
The meter body becomes part of the pipeline as soon as the FLOWSIC600-XT is installed in
the pipeline. The wall of the pipeline and the meter body are then deemed a zone-
separating barrier. The figure below helps in understanding the different situations for a
possible application and shows which operating conditions apply.
