temperature ranges, such as with dry ice.
➜Do not increase the ow speed of 1 m/s while siphoning liquids in with combustible
materials (electrostatic charge; risk of ignition).
➜Eliminate the production of gases classied in explosion group IIC during distillation
by materials or due to chemical reactions, such as hydrogen.
➜Do not use distillation material where the distillation residue might be explosive.
➜Only connect clean ground joints.
➜Attach ground joints securely in order to connect them leak-tight.
➜Attach all tube connections securely to ensure safe operation.
