warranty or liability as minute changes in the temperature, concentration or level of
contamination in the process can alter the corrosion resistance properties.
Residual risks
WARNING
Danger of housing breaking due to measuring tube breakage!
‣
In the event of a measuring tube breakage for a device version without rupture disk it is
possible for the pressure loading capacity of the sensor housing to be exceeded. This
can lead to rupture or failure of the sensor housing.
The external surface temperature of the housing can increase by max. 20 K due to the
power consumption of the electronic components. Hot process fluids passing through the
measuring device will further increase the surface temperature of the housing. The surface
of the sensor, in particular, can reach temperatures which are close to the fluid
temperature.
Possible burn hazard due to fluid temperatures!
‣
For elevated fluid temperature, ensure protection against contact to prevent burns.
