Installation
!
WARNING
Only qualied personnel should
install or service a backpressure
regulator. Backpressure regulators
should be installed, operated and
maintained in accordance with
international and applicable codes
and regulations and Emerson Process
Management Regulator
Technologies Inc. instructions.
If using a backpressure regulator
on a hazardous or ammable uid
service, personal injury and property
damage could occur due to re or
explosion of vented uid that may
have accumulated. To prevent such
1. The pressure/temperature limits in this Installation Guide or any applicable limitation should not be exceeded.
2. Maximum set pressure is limited to 10.3 bar / 150 psig for constructions with Fluorocarbon (FKM) diaphragm.
3. Not applicable for constructions with Fluorocarbon (FKM) diaphragm.
4. Fluorocarbon (FKM) is limited to 93°C / 200°F hot water.
5. Maximum Inlet, Outlet and Emergency Casing Pressures for constructions with Fluorocarbon (FKM) diaphragm are limited to 15.8 bar / 230 psig or the body rating limit, whichever is lower.
6. Ethylene Propylene (EPDM) is limited to -7 to 121°C / 20 to 250°F when used with Low Pressure Actuator.
