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. In fact, the
temperature class of these devices is a function of the present product temperature and ambient
temperature, as well as the specific device version.
The classification is outlined in the following tables
The tables take into account the following parameters:
•Ambient temperature T
amb
•Product temperature T
m
DK3./../.././../A-Ex permissible product 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 manufacturer's
installation instructions.
•
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.
