Calibration liquid, silicone oil
WARNING!
Hazardous substances silicone oils
Improper handling can result to poisoning or
personal injury.
▶
Wear the requisite protective equipment (see
chapter 3.6 “Personal protective equipment”).
▶
Observe the information in the material safety
data sheet for the corresponding medium.
▶
Before working with silicone oil, read the
material data safety sheet. The current
material safety data sheet can be found at
www.wika.de on the respective product page.
▶
Only use the silicone oil included within
the scope of supply or specified in these
operating instructions.
▶
When working with silicone oil, sufficient
ventilation should be ensured in the room
since it can give off pollutants.
▶
Since silicone oil is hygroscopic, after use,
always close the calibration bath using the
transport cover.
▶
Before transporting with silicone oil, allow the
calibrator or micro calibration bath to cool. The
transport cover is fitted with a safety valve. If
the micro calibration bath is closed when it is
still warm, excessive pressure can build up.
In order to avoid overpressuring, which could
lead to damage to the liquid bath, the safety
valve is activated at a pressure of approx.
2.5 bar [36 psi]. This can lead to hot vapour
escaping.
WARNING!
Risk of burns!
Touching the hot metal block or micro calibration
bath, the hot bath liquids or the test item can
lead to acute burns.
▶
Before transporting or touching the metal
block/liquid bath, make sure that it has cooled
down sufficiently.
Collect spilled liquids immediately and dispose
of them properly.
Wear safety goggles!
Do not allow silicone oil to come into contact with
the eyes.
Wear protective gloves!
Protect hands from friction, abrasion, cuts or
deep injuries and also from contact with hot
surfaces and aggressive media.
