Hot surfaces resulting from hot process media
Risk of burns resulting from surface temperatures above 65 °C (149 °F).
● Take appropriate protective measures, for example contact protection.
● Make sure that protective measures do not cause the maximum permissible ambient
External stresses and loads
Damage to device by severe external stresses and loads (e.g. thermal expansion or pipe
