2.4 Flammable products
Atmospheric conditions
Atmospheric conditions
Atmospheric conditionsAtmospheric conditions
An explosive atmosphere is a mixture of air and flammable gases, vapours, mists or dusts under
atmospheric conditions. The following values define it T
-4°F...140°F and P
behaviour for most mixtures.
Operating conditions
Operating conditions
Operating conditionsOperating conditions
Variable area flowmeters operate outside of atmospheric conditions, which means that
explosion protection according to Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX) – regardless of the zone assignment
– is fundamentally not applicable due to the lack of key safety data for the interior of the
measuring section.
CAUTION!
Operation with flammable products is only permissible if no explosive fuel/air mixture is formed
on the interior of the flowmeter under operating conditions. The user is responsible for the safe
operation of the flowmeter with regard to the temperatures and pressures of the products used.
In case of operation with flammable products the measuring units must be included in the
periodic pressure tests of the system.

2.7 Ambient temperature / temperature classes
Because of the influence of the temperature of the product, no fixed temperature class is
assigned to variable area flowmeters. In fact, the temperature class of a device is a function of
the temperature of both the product and the environment. There is no distinction between
devices with one or two contacts. The classification is outlined in the following tables.
The tables take into account the following parameters:
• Ambient temperature T
• Product temperature T
INFORMATION!
The maximum permissible product temperatures listed in the tables are valid under
the following conditions:
•
The measuring device is installed and operated in accordance with the installation
instructions in the installation and operating manual.
•
It must be ensured that the flowmeter is not heated by the effects of additional heat radiation
(sunshine, neighbouring system components) and thus operated above the permissible
ambient temperature range.
•
Insulation must be limited to the piping.
Unobstructed ventilation of the indicator part must be ensured.
