COMMON S.A. CGT-OM-18 february.2018
V. PACKAGING, TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
CGT-02 gas meters are supplied in factory-made packaging which provide appropriate
protection during transport and storage. For gas meter sizes from DN50 to DN100,
the packaging consists of reinforced cardboard box and profiled cardboard inserts. Side walls
of the box feature handle holes for transporting the gas meter. Gas meters sized DN150
and larger are placed on appropriate wooden pallets and protected by profiled inserts
and cardboard covers. Appropriate information regarding the contents and restrictions on gas
meter loading/unloading and transport is printed on the packaging.
Gas meters submitted for repair or renewal of legal verification should be sent in factory-
made packaging or other packaging providing at least equal protection during transport.
Each turbine gas meter by Common S.A. is supplied with the following:
- a 6-pin Tuchel C091 31H006 100 2 plug to be used for connecting a volume
converter or recorder to the low frequency electric signal output (in case
the converter has not been connected to the gas meter in the factory);
- a 4-pin Tuchel C091 31D004 100 2 socket, if the gas meter is equipped with a HF
emitter installed in the main body;
- a bottle of oil for the gas meter lubrication system (0.25 L);
- the technical manual.
The turbine gas meter is a high precision measurement device
and should be handled with appropriate caution.
Following principles should be observed during transport and storage of the gas meters:
1. Gas meters should not be thrown, turned over or subjected to strong impacts (e.g. during
fast transport using carts without springs).
2. Due to the possibility of oil leaks, the gas meters should be transported only in the target
operation position, i.e. with the oil container cap pointing upward. Position changes
required by the installation process should last as short as possible (maximum a dozen
or so seconds). The above does not apply to gas meters of size DN50 (unless equipped
with lubrication system with piston pump).
3. One must not lift the gas meter by holding the index head. Transport of heavy gas meters
should be performed with the use of lifting eye bolts located in the gas meter flanges.
4. Special care should be taken when loading, unloading and handling high pressure gas
meters, as they are characterized by large weights.
5. Factory-placed covers or other shields on gas meter orifices should not be removed until
directly before installation.
6. The storage site should protect the gas meter from atmospheric precipitation and moisture.
7. Care should be taken of the seals placed on the gas meter. Damage of seals may render
warranty void and legal consequences as regards the clearance of accounts between
the gas supplier and the customer.
8. It is not necessary to lubricate the bearings of gas meters when stored in the warehouse.
