ISA 76.00.02-2002

Scope

This standard applies to all types of surface-mount fluid distribution components with elastomeric sealing
devices used within process analyzer and sample-handling systems. This includes components such as
valves, filters, regulators, transducers, and controllers.

The scope of this document is limited as follows:

a) This document addresses only surface-mount fluid distribution components and proper sealing
methods. This document is limited to sealing methods using elastomeric material for the seals.

b) The designs of the actual system components and the flow substrate are not specified in this
standard. Any indication of mounting direction or other indexing is left to the manufacturer as
required for its equipment.

c) Users shall be aware that, based on the stream conditions of their processes, other technologies and
components may be readily available.

d) This standard does not address the effects of various stream conditions on the technical functionality
of the component.

e) This standard does not address maintenance concerns for the components.

f) This standard does not refer to design issues pertaining to specific safety requirements. These
issues shall be referenced to other standards, organizations, and recommended guidelines.

g) International, national, and local codes, regulations, and laws shall be consulted to ensure that each
component meets the user?s regulatory requirements.
