Hygienic Connection Materials

Unless specifically requested, internal surfaces are not polished and no warranty is made as to
the surface finish. If polishing option and /or EHEDG, ASME Bio-Processing or 3A approvals
was selected at time of order, all product contact surfaces are polished 0.5 micrometer Ra (20
CLA) finish or better.

Use of OPTIMASS 7000 SS sensors above 100°C (Hygienic Connections only)

Sizes 25S, 40S, 50S and 80S sensors with hygienic connections may be exposed to tempera-
tures above 100°C (212°F) up to a maximum of 130°C (266°F) for a maximum of 2 hours (e.g.
for steam cleaning purposes). The maximum temperature shock permitted either from cold to
hot or from hot to cold is 110°C (230°F).

For example, a meter measuring a product at 20°C (68°F) can be steam cleaned at 130°C
(266°F), but a meter measuring a product at 5°C (41°F) can only be steam cleaned at 115°C.
(239°F) After steam cleaning at 130°C (266°F) the minimum allowed temperature of the prod-
uct introduced immediately afterwards is 20°C (68°F).

Operation outside these guidelines may cause shifts in the mass flow and density calibration.
Repeated shocking may also cause premature failure of the meter.

7.6 Pressure Ratings

Meter data plates are stamped with maximum pressure rating (at 20°C and max. operating
temperature) of connection, primary tube or secondary pressure containment (whichever is the
lower).

Titanium tubes can handle a higher pressure, but where this exceeds the pressure rating, a
relief or burst disc has to be fitted to the secondary pressure containment. This can be done as
a special but is only available for meter sizes up to 25.
