WARNING!
Physical injuries and damage to property and the environment
caused by hazardous media
Upon contact with hazardous media (e.g. oxygen, acetylene, flammable
EN
or toxic substances), harmful media (e.g. corrosive, toxic, carcinogenic,
radioactive), and also with refrigeration plants and compressors, there is a
danger of physical injuries and damage to property and the environment.
Residual media at the dead-weight tester can result in a risk to persons, the
environment and the equipment.

2.3.1 Handling of mineral oils
DH-Budenberg/WIKA provide hydraulic mineral oil in 500 ml containers labelled
"ISO VG 22" for use up to 4,000 bar (60,000 lb/in²) in dead-weight testers. It is no more
hazardous than other common lubricating oils.
It is the nature of the way in which this equipment is used, that there could
be frequent and/or prolonged skin contact; in a few individuals this could
give rise to skin irritation (keratosis or dermatitis). The use of an effective
barrier cream and/or protective gloves will greatly reduce this possibility.
