Safety
Occupational safety
Always use the prescribed personal protective equipment (PPE) such as protective clothing,
safety goggles, protective gloves, safety shoes, etc.
Do not operate any other devices in the immediate vicinity of the device ...
–
which can generate electromagnetic fields in the frequency range between 9 × 10
to 3 × 10
Hz,
11
–
which generate emission or radiation sources in the frequency range 3 × 10
3 × 10
Hz (in the optical spectral range wavelengths from 1,000 μm to 0,1 μm),
15
–
which generate ultrasonic or ionizing waves.
Do not operate the unit when adiabatic compression or shock waves may occur (pressure wave
ignition).
Do not use substances that could release energy in an uncontrolled way and cause a pressure
increase (exothermic reaction, spontaneous ignition of dusts).
Do not process hard, brittle materials such as stones, soil samples, etc., that could destroy the
evaporation flask.
Only use heating bath media that guarantee sufficient heat transfer.
Do not operate the device with overpressure.
Do not expose the glass components to a pressure difference of more than 2 bar.
Ensure that the coolant overpressure does not exceed a level of 2 bar.
Ensure that the flow velocity does not exceed 1 m/s when aspirating liquids with flammable
components (electrostatic charge, danger of ignition!).
Avoid the formation of explosion group IIC gases and potentially explosive distillation residues.
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
The operating company must determine and provide the necessary PPE, depending on the
respective application and the media and chemicals used.
The corresponding instruction of the personnel is generally within the operating company's
responsibility.
Environmental protection
When processing environmentally hazardous substances, take appropriate measures to avoid
hazards to the environment.
The evaluation of corresponding measures such as the marking of a hazardous area, their
implementation, and the training of the relevant personnel is the general responsibility of the
operator!
