WARNING!
Physical injuries and damage to property and the
environment caused by hazardous media
Upon contact with hazardous media (e.g. with flammable
or toxic substances), harmful media (e.g. corrosive, toxic,
carcinogenic, radioactive), and also with refrigeration plants
and compressors, there is a danger of physical injuries and
damage to property and the environment.
Should a failure occur, aggressive media with extremely high
temperature and under high pressure may be present at the
instrument.
For these media, in addition to all standard regulations,
▶
the appropriate existing codes or regulations must also be
followed.
Wear the requisite protective equipment (see chapter 3.6
▶
"Personal protective equipment").
WARNING!
Physical injuries and damage to property and the
environment caused by media escaping under high
pressure
With the pressurisation of the instrument, as a result of
poor sealing of the process connection, media under high
pressure can escape.
Due to the high energy of the media that can escape in
the event of a failure, the possibility of physical injuries and
damage to property exists.
The sealing of the process connection must be carried out
▶
expertly and checked for leak tightness.
