Watson Marlow Pumps 505LA Bedienungsanleitung Seite 19

WARNING! Do not run pumphead against a dead-end condition
(closed discharge). This can lead to excessive roller and tubing
temperatures and pressures in excess of the limits in the table above.
Tube life will be reduced increasing the chance of premature failure.
WARNING! Do not run pumpheads at speed higher than the rated
maximum speed. This can lead to excessive roller and tubing
temperatures. Tube life will be reduced, increasing the chance of
premature failure.
When two or more items of ATEX equipment are combined, the permissible operating envelope will be
determined by the narrowest range after considering all values for a given parameter.
11 Tube life
A number of factors contribute to the life of the tubing:
Factors influencing tube life
Normal tube fatigue -dependent on tube size and material
Incorrect tube loading - see section 14 "505L Tube loading" on page 24.
Excess working pressure - see section 10 "Operating parameters" on the previous page
Chemical incompatibility - a table of tubing compatibility can be found on www.wmftg.com/chemical.
Immersion kits are available from Watson-Marlow for testing.
For each application it is strongly recommended that tube life should be determined by trials, prior to
installation in a hazardous environment. If this is not possible, or if there is any doubt in terms of tube life
then the following hazards should be recognised before installing a pump in a potentially explosive
atmosphere:
See section 16 "Materials of construction" on page 32 for information on materials of construction.
Chemical reaction between pumped fluid and pump materials the materials of construction are listed
at www.wmftg.com/chemical.
Pumped fluid can be ignited by surface temperature of rollers - all Watson-Marlow's ATEX equipment
has been rated as T4. (Meaning that even under worst-case operating conditions the maximum
surface temperature will not exceed 135C (275F)
