self-ignition of dusts
The materials used can be found in the instrument marking. See chapter
2.6 "Labelling / Safety marks".
On the wetted parts of the instrument, small residual amounts of the
adjustment medium (e.g. compressed air, water, oil) can adhere from
production. With increased requirements for technical cleanliness,
suitability for the application must be checked by the operator before
commissioning.
Liquid media with the property of changing the volume during solidi-
fication can damage the measuring system (e.g. water if it falls below
the freezing point).
