3.2.3 Storage conditions
Store the turbine meter in a safe area to avoid damage.
WARNING
CRUSHING HAZARD
During turbine meter installation or removal, always place the unit on a stable platform
or surface that supports its assembled weight.
Failure to comply could allow the turbine meter to roll, resulting in death, serious injury
or equipment damage.
Table 3-1: Meter storage conditions
Parameter type Description
Storage environment For long term storage, it is recommended that the complete meter
housing assembly be stored under cover in a controlled environmental
atmosphere in the original packaging. The storage temperature limits
are -40 ºC to 60 ºC (-40 ºF to140 ºF).
Shelf life for elastomers Elastomers are only installed in a flameproof pad and a threaded top
cover. These parts are not considered to be under pressure in normal
conditions. O-rings must be inspected for wear or damage during
disassembly of the cover or housing and right before assembling the
unit. If any elastomer is damaged, it must be replaced. FKM elastomers
have an unlimited shelf life.
Lubrication The LME is offered in stainless steel. Use petroleum jelly lubrication
when assembling the cover to the LME housing. Other components,
except O-rings do not require lubrication.
Inspect stored
equipment
Examine the internal surfaces and flange faces of the turbine meter at
least once every three months.
Repack the turbine meter per original conditions.
Labels and nameplates Do not remove nameplates or labels. Doing so will void the turbine
meter warranty.
Stacking When stacking equipment, follow all safety standards, taking into
account the type of box used, the maximum height of the equipment,
the maximum number of boxes stacked, etc.
