Inappropriate or incorrect use of the instrument can give rise to application-specific hazards, e.g. vessel overfill or damage to system components through incorrect mounting or adjustment. General safety instructions The safety information in the operating instructions manual of the respective sensor must be noted. Chemical seal CSB • for VEGADIF 65...
The CSB chemical seal consists of the following components: sepa- Constituent parts rating diaphragm, process fitting as well as transmission line (capillar- ies). The components are fully welded together with each other and with the associated differential pressure transmitter and represent a hermetically sealed system.

The following diagram shows the typical step response times (T90) of the different filling oils depending on the measuring cell and capil- lary inner diameter. The values are specified in seconds per meter capillary length and must be multiplied by the actual length of the capillaries. The step response time of the transmitter must also be taken into account. Chemical seal CSB • for VEGADIF 65...
For minimisation of the step response time, you have to following response time options: • Bigger capillary inner diameter • Shorter capillaries • Filling oil with lowest viscosity Installation position Standard applications When the pressure transmitter is mounted above the lower chemical seal, the max. height difference H1 according to the following illustra- Chemical seal CSB • for VEGADIF 65...

By doing this, an additional vacuum load from the filling oil in the capillaries is avoided. – + – Fig. 11: Preferred mounting below the lower chemical seal Chemical seal CSB • for VEGADIF 65...

Instruments for oxygen applications must be unpacked just before mounting. After removing the protective cover of the process fitting, the label "O " will be visible on the process fitting. Penetration of oil, grease and dirt should be avoided. Danger of explosion!

When using soft material or PTFE seals, take note of the regula- tions of the seal manuffacturer, particularly with respect to torque and settling cycles • Laying the capillaries Lay in vibration-free areas to avoid additional pressure fluctuations • Do not lay close to heating or cooling lines • Insulate in case of colder or warmer ambient temperatures • Bending radius of the capillaries ≥ 30 mm Chemical seal CSB • for VEGADIF 65...
Make sure that the materials are resistant to the cleaning process. The wide variety of applications of chemical seals makes special cleaning instructions necessary for each applica- tion. Please ask the agency serving you. Chemical seal CSB • for VEGADIF 65...
For that reason, chemical seal systems can only be used to a limited extent in a vacuum, depending on the pressure transmission liquid, process temperature and pressure. To extend the area of ap- plication, we offer a so-called vacuum service as an option. The following graphics show the areas of application for the different pressure transmission liquids.

The stated nominal pressure applies to the chemical seal. The max. pressure for the complete measuring system depends on the weakest element (with regard to pressure) of the selected com- ponents. The weights of the chemical seals are listed in the charts. For the weight of the transmitter see also "Dimensions and weights" in operating instructions VEGADIF 65. The following drawings are unifilar diagrams. The actual dimensions of the chemical seal can devi- ate from these dimensions.
