Intended use

The intended use of the Tapping point EM65AC is the removal of a gas from a system. In this process, the outlet pressure or the flow rate can be adjusted.

Tapping points of type EM65AC are only suitable for gaseous acetylene (ethyne) of commercial purity. During gas extraction, the maximum extraction quantity prescribed by the gas supplier must not be exceeded, as solvents can otherwise be introduced into the product.

The permissible gas types and pressure ranges are each specified on the label (see "Identification / label").

The equipment versions of the Tapping points without electrical components may be used in an explosion hazard zone as they do not have separate ignition sources (ignition hazard assessment according to DIN EN ISO 80079-36).

Tapping points with electrical components that are suitable for use in an explosion hazard zone are marked on the label according to EU Directive 2014/34/EU.

To be able to use the Tapping points as intended, all persons working with it must comply with the specifications of the relevant user manual.

The area in which hazards can occur when used as intended is the area around the Tapping points. The danger zone changes depending on the system status and use.
