1.3 Intended use
The gear type flow meter is a measuring device for the continual flow meas-
urement of combustible and non-combustible fluids. The different series allow
use with different viscosities and lubricating abilities.
The device has been designed for operation with fluids. Dry operation is not
permitted. The medium must guarantee a minimum lubrication.
Operation is only permitted within the specified enviromental and ambient
conditions.
Use in explosive areas is not permissible.
It must be guaranteed that the medium is compatible with the materials used
in the device (see "Overview of series and materials" in the chapter "
"). The chemical competence is necessary for this. Be careful with eth-
ylene oxide and/or other catalytic and/or exothermic and/or self-decomposing
materials! Please consult the manufacturer in cases of doubt.
