2.7 Ambient temperature / temperature classes
Due to the influence of the product temperature, variable area flowmeters with built-in electrical
equipment (electric variants) are not assigned to any fixed temperature class. The temperature
class of these devices is rather a function of the product temperature and ambient temperature
that is present and the specific device version. Please see the following tables for the
assignments.
The tables take into account the following parameters:
• Ambient temperature T
amb.
• Product temperature T
m
DK3./../.././../A–Ex permissible medium and ambient temperatures
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.
