In order to prevent personal injury and/or property damage, ensure that
packaging work is only carried out by qualified personnel with appropriate
personal protective equipment (PPE) and suitable work tools.
See Chapter 2 Safety Information.
11.2 Packaging the Argus Ball Valve
Ensure that the following conditions apply:
The Argus Ball Valve
Is disconnected from the piping
Is free from any fluid residues and substances (observe national regulations on
disposal of hazardous waste)
Is in the open position (as supplied)
Is free from any dirt
Is dry
1. Attach protective factory fitted caps to the Argus Ball Valve
(including Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor paper).
Protective factory fitted caps prevent the penetration of dirt and foreign particles into
the interior of the Argus Ball Valve. The caps also protect the flange sealing surface, the
welding end, and the connecting thread from corrosion and other damage.
2. Choose suitable packaging to guarantee that the Argus Ball Valve reaches its
destination without any damage (e.g., “seaworthy” packaging).
Select packaging appropriate for the shipping destination, customer specifications,
applicable laws, regulations on load securing, the physical properties of the goods (size,
weight, dimensions), protection requirements, and mode of transport (road, rail, air
and/or sea freight).
3. If necessary, protect/secure the Argus Ball Valve against tipping over and
slipping.
4. If necessary – particularly in the case of sea freight – display appropriate and
clearly visible transportation symbols on the packaging in accordance with
ISO 780 and DIN 55402.
