A detailed risk analysis of the flowmeter has been performed in accordance with the PED
2014/68/EU. All risks are assessed to be "none" provided that the procedures and standards
referenced in these operating instructions are observed.
Division according to the danger potential
Flowmeters which are categorized as piping are divided into categories according to danger
potential (medium, pressure, nominal diameter). The flowmeters fall into the categories I to III
or they are manufactured according to Paragraph 3 - Sound Engineering Practice (SEP).
The following criteria are decisive for assessment of the danger potential and are also shown in
Diagrams 1 to 4, see Diagrams (Page 117).
Fluid group
Group 1 or 2
• Aggregate state
Liquid or gaseous
• Type of pressur‐
ized equipment
– Pipeline
Product of pressure and volume (PS * V [barL])
The maximum allowable temperature for the used liquids or gases is the maximum process
temperature which can occur, as defined by the user. This must be within the limits defined for
the equipment.
Division of media (liquid/gaseous) into the fluid groups
Fluids are divided according to Article 13 into the following fluid groups:
