Process Pressure/Temperature Derating Curves; Pressure Equipment Directive, Ped, 97/23/Ec - Siemens Sitrans LR200 Instruction Manual

Process Pressure/Temperature derating curves

WARNINGS:
• Never attempt to loosen, remove or disassemble process connection
or instrument housing while vessel contents are under pressure.
• Materials of construction are chosen based on their chemical
compatibility (or inertness) for general purposes. For exposure to
specific environments, check with chemical compatibility charts
before installing.
• The user is responsible for the selection of bolting and gasket
materials which will fall within the limits of the flange and its intended
use and which are suitable for the service conditions.
• Improper installation may result in loss of process pressure and/or
release of process fluids and/or gases.
Notes:
• The Process Device Tag shall remain with the process pressure boundary
1)
assembly . In the event the instrument package is replaced, the Process Device Tag
shall be transferred to the replacement unit.
• SITRANS LR200 units are hydrostatically tested, meeting or exceeding the
requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the European
Pressure Equipment Directive.
• The serial numbers stamped in each process connection body, (flange, threaded, or
sanitary), provide a unique identification number indicating date of manufacture.
Example: MMDDYY – XXX (where MM = month, DD = day, YY = year, and
XXX= sequential unit produced)
Further markings (space permitting) indicate flange configuration, size, pressure
class, material, and material heat code.

Pressure Equipment Directive, PED, 97/23/EC

Siemens Level Transmitters with flanged, threaded, or sanitary clamp type process
mounts have no pressure-bearing housing of their own and, therefore, do not come under
the Pressure Equipment Directive as pressure or safety accessories, (see EU Commission
Guideline 1/8).
1)
The process pressure boundary assembly comprises the components that act as a
barrier against pressure loss from the process vessel: that is, the combination of pro-
cess connection body and emitter, but normally excluding the electrical enclosure.
