NACE MR 0175 / ISO 15156

NACE MR 0103

Pressure equipment with
allowable pressure
≤ 200 bar (2 900 psi)

Marine certificate

3A and EHEDG approval with Tri-Clamp and DIN11851 process connection.
To avoid risk of contamination, install according to the "Hygienic Equipment Design Criteria
(HDC)" as stated in the Subgroup Design Principles of the EHEDG, Doc. 8 from April 2004.
Suitable fittings and seals must be used to ensure hygiene-compliant design according to the
specifications of 3-A SSI and EHEDG.
The leak-tight connections can be cleaned with the cleaning methods usually used in this
industry without leaving residues.
The 316L housing (GT18), option B in the order attribute 40, is not suitable for applications
which need a 3A approval.
For FMR51 and FMR54:
• The wetted, metallic materials comply with the requirements of NACE MR 0175 / ISO 15156.
• Declaration of conformity: see product structure, feature 580, option JB.
For FMR51 and FMR54:
• The wetted, metallic materials comply with the requirements of NACE MR 0103.
• The certificate of compliance is based on NACE MR 0175.
The hardness and the intercrystalline corrision have been tested, as well as the heat treatment
(solution annealed) has been carried out. The used materials comply therefore with the
requirements of NACE MR 0103.
• Declaration of conformity: see product structure, feature 580, option JE.
Pressure instruments with a flange and threaded boss that do not have a pressurized housing do not
fall within the scope of the Pressure Equipment Directive, irrespective of the maximum allowable
pressure.
Reasons:
According to Article 2, point 5 of EU Directive 2014/68/EU, pressure accessories are defined as
"devices with an operational function and having pressure-bearing housings".
If a pressure instrument does not have a pressure-bearing housing (no identifiable pressure chamber
of its own), there is no pressure accessory present within the meaning of the Directive.

1) see oredering feature 590 "Additional approval"
The devices Micropilot FMR50, FMR51, FMR52, FMR56 and FMR57 are conform with the LPR
(Level Probing Radar) standard EN302729-1/2. The devices are allowed to be used inside or outside
of closed bins or tanks in countries of th EU and the EFTA. Precondition is that the country itself
already has implemented the directive.
At present, the following countries have already implemented the directive:
Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Denmark, Estonia, France, Greece, Great Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Italy,
Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Latvia, Malta, Netherland, Norway, Austria, Poland, Romania, Sweden,
Switzerland, Slovakia, Spain, Czech Republic and Cyprus.
All countries not mentioned above are at present in the implementation phase.
For the use of the devices outside of closed bins or tanks, the following has to be observed:
1. The installation has to be done by trained personnel.
2. The antenna of the device has to be mounted on a fixed place and vertically to the bottom.
3. The mounting place has to be in a distance of at least 4 km to the mentioned astronomical
stations or an appropriate permission has to be issued by the national authority. If the device is
mounted at a distance of 4 to 40 km from the stations mentioned, the maximum mounting
height is restricted to 15 m (49 ft).
