Two phase ow can generate minus span errors. The errors
are proportional to the difference in density between the 2
phases and the amount of the second phase. If the particles
(or droplets) are very small no errors will be generated.

Maximum tube pressure for SL/SH up to 27°C (RT=Room Temp.):
- RCCS30 / 31 / 32 : 285 bar
- RCCS33 : 185 bar
- RCCS34 / RCCT34 : 260 bar
- RCCS36 / RCCT36 : 210 bar
- RCCS38 / RCCT38 : 175 bar
- RCCS39 / RCCT39 : 135 bar
- RCCS39/IR / RCCT39/IR : 110 bar
- RCCS39/XR / RCCT39/XR: 95 bar
For higher medium temperatures maximum tube pressure
needs to be derated as follows :
up to 50 °C : 4% derating
51 to 100 °C : 11% derating
101 to 150 °C : 20% derating
151 to 230 °C : 30% derating
231 to 350 °C : 38% derating
Higher pressure on request.
The maximum process pressure of a single instrument is
given by the lower value either of the process connections
(table 9) or tubes. The maximum temperature and process
pressure limits of an instrument are marked on the name-
plate as TS and PS.
The given temperature / pressure ranges are calculated and
approved without corrosion or erosion. The customer is fully
responsible to select proper materials to withstand his
corrosive or erosive conditions. In case of heavy corrosion
and/or erosion the instrument may not withstand the pres-
sure and an incident may
happen with human and/or
environmental harm. Yokogawa will not take any liability
regarding damage
caused by corrosion / erosion. If corrosion/
erosion may happen, the user has to check periodically if the
necessary wall thickness is still in place.
Gas content limit is dened as the amount of gas in a liq-
uid/gas mixture which generates an error (frequency error) in
the converter. The gas content limit is dependent on viscosity,
surface tension and bubble size of the liquid/gas mixture.
Furthermore it is highly ow rate dependent (the higher the
ow rate, the lower the gas content limits). The stated values
are for a ow of 50% of Qnom and water/air without /HP:
- RCCS30 to 32 : no limitation
- RCCS33 non-Ex type : no limitation
- RCCS33 Ex type : approx. 35%
- RCCx34 : no limitation
- RCCx36 : approx. 50%
- RCCx38 : approx. 30%
- RCCx39 : approx. 7%
- RCCx39/IR : approx. 3%
- RCCx39/XR : approx. 2% (with option /HP)
With option /HP the gas content limits are improved.
With liquid/gas mixtures the specied mass ow accuracy will
not be achieved.
For short time aeration a function can be activated to keep
the current outputs constant during the aeration time.
The housings of the RCCS30-33 and the RCCx39/XR are
not rated for secondary containment. Rupture pressure for
RCCx34-38 is typical above 120bar, for RCCx39 above 80
bar, for RCCx39IR above 50bar.
However if the detector housing is exposed to this pressure
it will deform and measurement will be strongly inuenced.
Therefore the pressure test of the housing (option /J1) can
only be done at the pressure where deformation does not
happen.
