NOTICE:
●
"The suitability rating for sealing materials and transducer/probe materials
given in the tables below refer to the specifications of the material manu-
facturer at room temperature. Finally the suitability of sealing material and
transducer/probe material must be checked by the user considering the
overall application conditions. Stainless steel configurations are suitable for
non-aggressive and dry gas only.
●
"Since the retraction flange is outside the pipeline behind ball valve and is
not directly flowed through by the medium, it can be assumed that, as a
result of the temperature drop, the permitted temperature limit for the seals
are not exceeded when the temperature of the media is between min -196
°C and max +280 °C (temperature range of standard/high/low tempera-
ture version have to be considered).
