Introduction

Purpose
This document shall identify specific installation and operation instructions necessary to ensure compliance with the Essential Safety Requirements (ESR) of the European Economic Area Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU and the UK Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.

Scope

Document scope
This document applies to Rosemount Ultrasonic Flow Meters designed by Micro Motion, Inc. of Boulder, Colarado, USA, and manufactured by Emerson or an authorized agent.

Installation

Meter installation
Rosemount Ultrasonic Flow Meters are supplied as components to be installed in the end user’s piping system. It is the responsibility of the end user of the equipment to ensure compliance with the Essential Safety Requirements of the Directive and Regulations quoted in Purpose of this document. Relevant parts of the directive ESR are listed below.

PED ESR reference	ESR requirement	Compliance requirement
2.3	Provisions to ensure safe handling and operation: • The method of operation specified for pressure equipment must be such as to preclude any reasonably foreseen risk in the operation of the equipment. Particular attention must be paid, where appropriate, to the following.

Closures and openings

Rosemount Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meters:

• During removal and replacement of transducers the end user shall ensure that the meter has been properly isolated and the internal pressure has been safely vented.

• If changing the transducers under line pressure by means of the Rosemount supplied extractor tool; the instructions for use given in the manual supplied with each extractor tool must be strictly complied with.

Rosemount Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meters:

• Refer to the Rosemount Ultrasonic Flow Meter Installation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting manuals for detailed procedures.

• Rosemount Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meters are supplied with transducers which are extractable while the line is pressurized.

PED ESR reference	ESR requirement	Compliance requirement
	• Devices to prevent physical access while pressure or a vacuum exists. • Surface temperature • Decomposition of unstable fluids	• The end user shall ensure that the meters are installed in a properly designed system with access limitation in place if required. • It is the responsibility of the end user to assess the expected surface temperature in service, and if necessary, take the necessary precautions to avoid personnel coming into contact with the equipment. • It is not envisaged that, for the designed service, the equipment shall come into contact with unstable fluids. However, the end user should assess the risk and take any steps considered necessary.
2.4	Means of examination: • Pressure equipment must be designed and constructed so that all necessary examinations to ensure safety can be carried out.	• Rosemount Ultrasonic Flow Meters are designed so that all critical parts can be examined without the need to remove the unit from service. The end user should refer to the operations and maintenance instructions supplied with each meter. It is not considered that the process medium for which the equipment is designed will give rise to severe corrosion/erosion problems. It is the end user’s responsibility to monitor any change in the process medium that may cause concern.
2.5	Means of draining and venting: • To avoid harmful effects such as water hammer, vacuum collapse, corrosion and uncontrolled chemical reactions.	• It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that the equipment is installed in a well-designed piping system to avoid such hazards.

PED ESR reference	ESR requirement	Compliance requirement
2.6	Corrosion or other chemical attack	• It is not expected that the process medium for which the meters are designed will give rise to severe corrosion problems. It is the end user’s responsibility to monitor any change in the process medium that may cause concern.
2.7	Wear	• It is not expected that the use of the meter for fluid measurement will give rise to any abnormal wear problems. It is the responsibility of the end user to install any necessary filtration upstream of the meter to maintain the condition of the process medium.
2.10	Protection against exceeding the allowable limits of the pressure equipment	• The Rosemount Ultrasonic Flow Meters must be installed in a well-designed piping system with adequate protection against excessive pressure.
2.12	External fire	• The Rosemount Ultrasonic Flow Meters have no special accessories for fire damage limitation. It is the responsibility of the end user to provide adequate fire-fighting facilities on- site.
7.3	Pressure limiting devices, particularly for pressure vessels	• The Rosemount Ultrasonic Flow Meters are not pressure vessels and have no integral pressure limiting devices. It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that the meters are installed in a well-designed system so that momentary pressure surges are limited to under 10% of the meters maximum allowable pressure.
