Remote seal systems should be used if a separation between the measured medium and the measuring instrument is essential or appropriate.

Examples of such cases:

• The temperature of the medium is outside the limits specified for the pressure transmitter.
• The medium is corrosive and requires diaphragm materials which are not available for the pressure transmitter.
• The medium is highly viscous or contains solids which would block the measuring chambers of the pressure transmitter.
• The medium may freeze in the measuring chambers or pulse line.
• The medium is heterogeneous or fibrous.
• The medium tends towards polymerization or crystallization.
• The process requires quick-release remote seals, as necessary e.g. in the food industry for fast cleaning.
• The process requires cleaning of the measuring point, e.g. in a batch process.
