Mechanical installation requirements
Ensure that the requirements given below have been followed:
• The effective pressure of the installation (the maximum permitted by the pressure limiting valve)
must never be greater than the maximum permitted pressure, P
s
, marked on the instrument
nameplate. The test pressure, P
t
, is given on the order documents and BM 26 A nameplate.
• The user must be sure that materials in contact (guide tube, float, gaskets, etc) with the fluid
used are compatible with the fluid and conform to ageing characteristics of the fluid used and the
measurement environment. These have either been recommended in the instructions or form the
subject of a particular specification in the contract.
• The external pressure (P
ext
) must be equal to atmospheric pressure(P
atmos
).
