toxic, carcinogenic, radioactive), and also with refrigeration
plants and compressors, there is a danger of physical injuries
and damage to property and the environment.
Should a failure occur, aggressive media with extremely high
temperature and under high pressure or vacuum may be
present at the instrument.
