Operating Temperature - WIKA 7 Mode D'emploi

3. Technical data and intended use

Operating Temperature

Ambient:
GB
Medium:
Attention! In the case of gaseous substances, the temperature may increase
due to compression warming. In these cases it may be necessary to throttle
the rate of change of pressure or reduce the permissible temperature of the
pressure medium.
Table 2: Permissible medium temperature
Temperature Class of the
ambient atmosphere
(ignition temperature)
T 6 (85 °C < T ≤ 100 °C)
T 5 (100 °C < T ≤ 135 °C)
T 4 (135 °C < T ≤ 200 °C)
T 3 (200 °C < T ≤ 300 °C)
T 2 (300 °C < T ≤ 450 °C)
T 1 (T > 450 °C)
1) The higher values only apply to special versions with higher permissible media temperatures.
Materials
Wetted parts:
(Model 73x.51/31) Pressure element ≤ 0.25 bar: stainless steel

-20 ... +60 °C
with option silicone oil filling: -40 ... +60 °C
The permissible medium temperature does not only depend on the
instrument design, but also on the ignition temperature of the
surrounding explosive atmosphere. Both aspects must be taken
into account.
For maximum permissible medium temperatures see Table 2.
Pressure connections and pressure chamber: stainless steel
Air bleeding plugs:
stainless steel (option: ranges ≥ 0,4 bar)
Pressure connections and pressure flanges: stainless steel
Pressure elements: stainless steel/NiCr-alloy (Inconel)
Sealing rings: FPM/FKM
Venting of the pressure chambers:
stainless steel (option: ranges ≥ 0,4 bar)
