Maximum Process Temperatures versus allowable ambient
Where the chart does not apply, please use your own judgement regarding the use of
SITRANS LR250.
If the internal temperature exceeds the maximum allowable limit, a sun shield or a longer
nozzle may be required.
See Minimum Value (3.3.1.) and Maximum Value (3.3.2.) to monitor the Internal
Temperature.
A.4
Process Pressure/Temperature derating curves
Exceeded maximum permissible operating pressure
Danger of injury or poisoning.
The maximum permissible operating pressure depends on the device version. The device
can be damaged if the operating pressure is exceeded. Hot, toxic and corrosive process
media could be released.
• Make sure that the device is suitable for the maximum permissible operating pressure of
