These units are supposed to be used in Temperature Code T4 applications. The fluid temperature
has to be less than 120 °C.
The grounding of a metal body has to be realized with the complete pipeline.
For the assessment of the products according to the pressure directive the European Standards:
EN 60730-1: 01/02
