▶
Continuous temperature fluctuations in excess of 100 °C may result in tube failure
due to material fatigue and therefore must be avoided.
▶
The operator is responsible for ensuring that design limits (pressure, temperature) are
not exceeded in the event unstable fluids decay.
▶
External influences may result in failure of threaded connections. The operator is re-
sponsible for providing suitable protective measures.
▶
Compression and shock waves in pipes can cause damage to the sensor. For this
reason it is important to avoid exceeding the design limits (pressure, temperature).
▶
Fires may result in increased process pressure (caused by temperature-related vol-
ume changes) and failure of gaskets. The operator is responsible for taking suitable
measures to prevent fire-related damage.
▶
Manufacturing methods and technologies have been successfully field-tested for
decades. Erosion and/or corrosion are not taken into account.
▶
Removal of material from the flow meter with power tools such as drills or saws is not
permitted.
▶
Any repair, modification, replacement or installation of replacement parts is permitted
only so long as it is in keeping with this user's manual. Other work must be first autho-
rized by Rota Yokogawa. Rota Yokogawa does not assume liability for damage
caused by unauthorized work on the flow meter or by improper use.
