Water) admission, however, it can be used for natural gas. A DVGW admission is not mandatory. The consumption sensor DB50 corresponds with the latest state of technology and can generally be used for burnable and non-burnable gases. For the use in e.g. natural gas, the sensor will be calibrated in natural gas. The calibration protocol (inspection certificate) is included in the scope of delivery.

Installation Installation of the Sensor 4.4.1 Mounting DB50 onto the ball valve Assembly is carried out by inserting the connection thread with gasket. (G1/2“ thread, SW 32) into the ball valve with ½"internal thread. The sensor has be tighten by hand as far as possible and then tighten with stipulated torque of 25-30 Nm.
For the use in e.g. natural gas, the sensor will be calibrated in natural gas. The calibration protocol (inspection certificate) is included in the scope of delivery. The area outside the pipe (environment of the sensor) is not allowed to be an explosive area. (Ex area) . DB50 English V1.18 Seite 13...
