    2 Safety 2.1 Proper use 2 Safety 2.1 Proper use o Flowmeter solely for flow measurement of lubricating liquids that are chemically neutral and that do not contain gas or solid components. o Flowmeters require operation with clean liquids. If coarse soiling, solid particles in the liquid or ab- rasive fine particles occur during operation, the flowmeter must be protected additionally by a cor- respondingly dimensioned operating filter in the pipe system.
