When dust-free gases or liquids are measured, the flow rate should not exceed 5 times the nominal flow rate. The max. allowable working pressure PS printed on the type nameplate is to be noted. The conductivity of the medium must be min. 1000pS/m. www.krohne.com 10/´2012 - 4002262401 MA VA40-Ex-II2G-AD R01 en...
In the case of environmentally critical or hazardous products, appropriate safety precautions • must be taken with regard to residual liquids in the measuring unit. New gaskets have to be used when re-installing the device in the piping. • 10/´2012 - 4002262401 MA VA40-Ex-II2G-AD R01 en www.krohne.com...
