1.2.1 General
information
• The device (including the pipe components) has been designed, produced and approved in
accordance with Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU. The pipe components take the
form of a
- Wafer
design
- Flange design with integrated measuring section
- Weld-on
adapter
The device may only be used in accordance with the application specified on the order
confirmation; other operating conditions may prevent the device from functioning correctly,
cause damage to it or even damage it beyond repair.
• Care must be taken to ensure that the measuring media used do not impair the chemical and
physical properties of the components that come into contact with the fluids concerned.
• The threshold value for alternating load cycles corresponds to AD-2000 instruction sheet S1,
Section 1.4 and is not calculated or checked by the manufacturer.
• The device should be included in any regular maintenance activities that are carried out on
the entire system.
• The materials used must be checked by the user to ensure their suitability for the application
concerned.
• The maximum operating conditions relating to pressure and temperature, as stated on the
name plate / in the operating instructions, must not be exceeded.
• When installing and disassembling pipe components or flowmeter sensors, ensure that the
pipeline has been depressurized.
- Exception: If you are using a hot tap fitting.
• Before carrying out installation work on pipelines used to carry aggressive or toxic measuring
media, media that may be classed as irritant, or other kinds of hazardous media, the fluids
concerned must be adequately flushed out. Compliance with the relevant accident
prevention regulations must also be ensured.
• If damaged, components must no longer be used. They must be taken out of circulation and
sent to the manufacturer for repair.
• If disassembled components have come into contact with aggressive or toxic measuring
media, media that may be classed as irritant, or other kinds of hazardous media, before
being sent off they must be cleaned and then packed and labeled accordingly.
• If leaks occur at the measuring point, it must immediately be taken out of service.
• Defective gaskets or O-rings must be removed from use and must be replaced as a matter of
urgency.
• The subsequent mechanical labeling or machining of pipe components and flowmeter
sensors can result in damage and is prohibited.
- Exception: Cutting to length and welding onto the pipeline in the case of weld-on
adapters.
