• For volume flow measurement (under operating
conditions).
• For mass flow measurement (based on a fixed density to
be programmed).
The device has been designed for use exclusively within the
technical limit values indicated on the identification plate and
in the data sheets.
In terms of the measuring medium, observe following points:
• Wetted parts such as measuring electrodes, liner,
grounding electrodes, grounding rings, protection
flanges must not be damaged because of the chemical
and physical characteristic of the measuring medium.
• Media with unknown properties or abrasive measuring
media may only be used if regular and suitable tests can
be performed to ensure the safe condition of the device.
• The information on the name plate must be observed.
• Prior to using corrosive and abrasive measurement
media, the operator must check the level of resistance of
all parts coming into contact with the measuring
medium. ABB will gladly support you in selecting the
materials, but cannot accept any liability in doing so.
Improper use
The following are considered to be instances of improper use
of the device:
• For operating as a flexible adapter in piping, e.g. for
compensating pipe offsets, pipe vibrations, pipe
expansions, etc.
• For use as a climbing aid, e.g. for mounting purposes
• For use as a support for external loads, e.g. as a support
for piping, etc.
• Material application, e.g. by painting over the name plate
or welding/soldering on parts
• Material removal, e.g. by spot drilling the housing
Warranty provisions
Using the device in a manner that does not fall within the
scope of its intended use, disregarding this manual, using
underqualified personnel, or making unauthorized alterations
releases the manufacturer from liability for any resulting
damage. This renders the manufacturer's warranty null and
void.
