WARNING
Heat safety
Some metal parts and piping placed near the sensors might be at elevated temperatures
due to high temperature purging - either from steam or from air.
To avoid severe burns these parts must either be isolated or equipped with protective metal
sheets. Always use protective gloves in the vicinity of such hot parts.
WARNING
Pressure safety
It is possible to mount the SITRANS SL to processes with elevated pressure. Although the
window of the process interface is burst-tested up to 8 MPa (80 bar), the customer should
