2.1 Intended use
The flow meter described in this Operating Instructions is intended to measure mass flow
of fluids and gases while simultaneously also capturing their density and temperature.
These values form the basis for calculating additional measured quantities, such as
volume flow and concentration of fluids.
The flow meter uses the Coriolis principle and can be used in process automation for a
wide range of flow rate measurements. It allows for measuring various fluids, e.g.:
▪ Oils, grease
▪ Gases, liquid gases
▪ Acids, solutions, solvents
▪ Emulsions and suspensions
Use of the flow meter is limited primarily by the necessary homogeneity of the fluid and
chemical resistance of the wetted parts. Details can be obtained from the responsible
Siemens sales organization. Operational safety cannot be ensured in the event of any
improper or not intended use. Siemens is not liable for damage arising from such use.
The flow meter described in this Operating Instructions is a class A device according to
EN 61326-1 and may only be used in an industrial environment.
2.2 Technical conditions
At normal conditions, the flow meter does not release any poisonous gases or
substances.
If the flow meter is operated in faulty conditions, its safety and function may be impaired.
For this reason, the following must be observed:

2.3 General safety instructions
Use of fluids that are a health hazard may result in caustic burns or
DANGER
poisoning
▶ When removing the flow meter, avoid touching the fluid and breathing gas residues
▶ Wear protective clothing and a breathing mask.
10 / 180
Operate the flow meter only when in good working order.
If its operational performance changes unexpectedly, check flow meter for faults.
Do not undertake unauthorized conversions or modifications on the flow meter.
Eliminate faults immediately.
Use only original spare parts.
