CoriolisMaster FCB400, FCH400 CORIOLIS MASS FLOWMETER | OI/FCB400/FCH400-EN REV. E

Intended use

This device is intended for the following uses:
• To convey liquids and gases (including unstable measuring
media).
• To meter mass flow directly.
• To meter volumetric flow (indirectly via mass flow and
density).
• To measure the density of the measuring medium.
• To measure the temperature of the measuring medium.
The device has been designed for use exclusively within the
technical limit values indicated on the identification plate and in
the data sheets.
When using measuring media, the following points must be
observed:
• Measuring media may only be used if, based on the state
of the art or the operating experience of the user, it can
be assured that the chemical and physical properties
necessary for operational security of the materials of the
wetted parts of the temperature sensor will not be
adversely affected during the operating time.
• Media containing chloride in particular can cause
corrosion damage to stainless steels which, although not
visible externally, can damage wetted parts beyond repair
and lead to the measuring medium escaping. It is the
operator's responsibility to check the suitability of these
materials for the respective application.
• Measuring media with unknown properties or abrasive
measuring media may only be used if the operator is able
to perform regular and suitable tests to ensure the safe
condition of the device

Improper use

The following are considered to be instances of especially
improper use of the device:
• Operation as a flexible compensating adapter in piping,
for example for compensating pipe offsets, pipe
vibrations, pipe expansions, etc.
• For use as a climbing aid, for example for mounting
purposes.
• For use as a bracket for external loads, for example as a
support for piping, etc.
• Material application, for example by painting over the
housing, name plate or welding/soldering on parts.
• Material removal, for example by spot drilling the
housing.
