TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE AND LIFTING
3.1 Receiving
Check the condition of the valve package on arrival. If it shows signs of transport
damage, check the operation of the valve carefully. Normally, a visual inspection of the
valve is sufficient. However, if valve has been damaged during transport, contact your
nearest Flowrox sales office immediately.
3.2 Storage
The sleeves must be stored as follows:
•
The storing temperature should not exceed +25°C, preferably below +15°C but not
under +5
°
C. Keep the storage temperature as constant as possible.
•
Store the sleeves in a dry place. Prevent water from condensing on sleeve surfaces.
•
Avoid ultraviolet light. Protect the sleeves against straight sunlight. Use warehouse
instead of storing outside.
•
Remove all equipment generating ozone from the room where sleeves are stored.
Minimize the store room ventilation.
•
Store sleeves so that they are free from tension. Sleeves should be stored in vertical
position on smooth support. Do not store sleeves one on top of another.
•
Keep the sleeves off the chemical effect of solutions, semi-solids, impurities and
solvent vapours during storing.
•
Try to keep the storing time of sleeves as short as possible. Always use first the
material which has been longest in stock.
3.3 Lifting
When lifting the valve, fasten the ropes to the valve body or around it. Note the center
of gravity and support the valve to avoid it turning around. In some models the center of
gravity is located towards the actuator.
