The calculation of the pressurized parts is effected with allowance for corrosion, erosion through abrasion or cavitation. If the flowmeter needs to be returned to KROHNE Messtechnik, please note the information at the end of these installation and operating instructions.
General Description code The description code consists of the following elements: *) Series measuring unit SDA Display part series Standard indicator with added corrosion prevention Stainless steel housing Electrical signal output Analog signal output Limit switch One limit switch Two limit switches *) Positions which are not used in the description code are not required.
Key for Pressure Equipment Directive Pressure Equipment Directive Fluid Gases, liquefied gases, gases dissolved under pressure, vapors and those liquids whose vapor pressure lies more than 0.5 bars over the normal atmospheric pressure (1013 mbars) at the maximum permissible temperature Liquids whose vapor pressure lies a maximum of 0.5 bars above the atmospheric pressure at the maximum permissible temperature Fluid group...
Preparation of the pipeline Generally comply with the maximum pressure and maximum temperature levels allowable for the SDA at the measuring point in your plant. The direction of flow must be the same as that indicated by the flow arrow on the device.
Flow table Reference conditions: Water at 20°C The turn-down range amounts to 10 : 1 The specified pressure losses apply for water and air at the maximum flow rate. Nominal size Flow Water Inch m3/h US GPH - 12 1585 3170 1 1/4"...

Indicator part Contact inserts The flowmeter SDA can be equipped with a maximum of two electronic limit switches. The limit switch functions with a slot-type initiator which is operated inductively through the semicircular metal vane belonging to the measuring pointer. The switching points are set through the contact pointer.

Electrical signal output ESK 8.2.1 Electrical connection The connecting terminals of the M9 display have a pluggable design and can be removed in order to connect the lines. 8.2.2 HART communication with the ESK HART communication is not compellingly required in order to operate the ESK. When HART communication is carried out with the ESK, this does not by any means impair analog measured value transfer (4...20mA)

Maintenance The flowmeter is also to be inspected for soiling, corrosive erosion and mechanical wear or damage to the measuring tube and the display in the context of the routine operational maintenance of the installation and the pipelines. We recommend at least annual inspections. In order to clean the instrument remove it from the pipeline. Note Pressurized lines have to be relieved before the measuring unit is removed.
