WARNING!

The retaining nuts of paddlewheel sensors are not designed for
prolonged contact with aggressive substances. Strong acids,
caustic substances and solvents or their vapor may lead to failure
of the retaining nut, ejection of the sensor and loss of the process
fl uid with possibly serious consequences, such as damage to
equipment and serious personal injury. Retaining nuts that may
have been in contact with such substances, e.g. due to leakage
or spilling, must be replaced.
