Bourdon tube, capsule, diaphragm, spring diaphragm pressure gauges
Media
The fluids used must be compatible with the materials of the product
under the specific measuring conditions (for example, temperature,
atmosphere, immunity of the material against the measured fluid,
etc.) and which do not cause chemical reactions.
•
Intended operation as per EN 837-1/-3
•
No hot media with temperatures of more than 70 °C in the pres-
sure gauge. Take into account the compression heat that is
generated in the case of rapid pressure changes of gases.
•
The pressure gauge is neither subjected to pressure surges nor
to pressure fluctuations.
Pressure gauges with switching contacts may only be used in certi-
fied intrinsically safe circuits as per EN 60079-11.
Any use other than the application explicitly permitted in this instruc-
tion manual is not permitted.
2.2
Predictable incorrect application
The pressure gauges must never be used in the following cases:
•
Measurement of pressure exceeding the full scale value of the
pressure gauge
•
Operation outside of the specified temperature range
•
Use as a part of a safety system to protect against exceeding
permissible limit values (equipment parts with a safety-related
function)
•
If used in hazardous areas / Ex zones: operation outside of the
specified intrinsically safe limit values
