A.3.1 Material selection
Emerson provides a variety of Rosemount products with various product options and
configurations including materials of construction that can be expected to perform well in
a wide range of applications. The Rosemount product information presented is intended
as a guide for the purchaser to make an appropriate selection for the application. It is the
purchaser’s sole responsibility to make a careful analysis of all process parameters (such as
all chemical components, temperature, pressure, flow rate, abrasives, contaminants,
etc.), when specifying product, materials, options, and components for the particular
application. Emerson is not in a position to evaluate or guarantee the compatibility of the
process fluid or other process parameters with the product, options, configuration or
materials of construction selected.
