1.1 Intended use
The series
RE 250
of flowmeters with a standard length of 250 mm (9.84 inch) and a completely
metal design is suitable for measuring different liquids and gases in closed piping.
The robust design enables the operation in rough conditions. Different types of flanges, liners and
float materials meet the requirements of the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
The devices are particularly suitable for the measurement of:
•
Water
•
Fluids
•
Corrosion protection agents
•
Lubricants
•
Saturated and superheated steam
•
Food and beverages
•
Industrial gases
Warning!
The operator of these measuring devices is solely responsible for the
suitability, intended use and corrosion resistance of the selected mate-
rials. It must be particularly ensured that the materials selected for the
wetted parts of the flowmeter are suitable for the process media to be
measured.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper or
unintended use of these devices.
No external loads may act upon the meter. The flowmeters are primarily designed for static
applications.
Caution!
Hot surfaces resulting from hot process media
.
Danger of burns resulting from surface temperatures above 70 °C.
● Take appropriate protective measures, for example contact protection.
● The design of the contact protection must meet the maximum permissible
ambient temperature of the meter..
Caution!
For devices used in hazardous areas, additional safety notes
apply; please refer to the Ex documentation!
The flowmeter may only be operated within the pressure and voltage limits specified on the name
plate.
Before taking the flowmeter out of operations, check that the unit is free of hazardous media and
de-pressurized.
