SITRANS LR250 (FOUNDATION FIELDBUS)
16 Operating Instructions, 01/2014, A5E32221411-AB
4.1
Pressure applications
WARNING
Pressure applications
• Never attempt to loosen, remove, or disassemble process connection or device housing
while vessel contents are under pressure.
• The user is responsible for the selection of bolting and gasket (except for Flanged
encapsulated antenna) materials which will fall within the limits of the process
connection and its intended use and which are suitable for the service conditions.
• For Flanged encapsulated antenna, lens acts as integral gasket, no other required
• Use spring washers for Flanged encapsulated antenna.
• Improper installation may result in loss of process pressure.
Note
•
The process connection tag shall remain with the process pressure boundary assembly.
(The process pressure boundary assembly comprises the components that act as a
barrier against pressure loss from the process vessel: that is, the combination of process
connection body and emitter, but normally excluding the electrical enclosure).
•
SITRANS LR250 units are hydrostatically tested, meeting or exceeding the requirements
of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the European Pressure Equipment
Directive.
4.1.1
Pressure Equipment Directive, PED, 97/23/EC
Siemens Level Transmitters with flanged, threaded, or sanitary clamp type process mounts have
no pressure-bearing housing of their own and, therefore, do not come under the Pressure
Equipment Directive as pressure or safety accessories (see EU Commission Guideline 1/8 and
1/20).
