4. TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
Packed instruments can be transported by any rail, road, sea, or air transport provided
the following conditions are met:
- transportation is carried out in factory packaging;
- there is no direct exposure to moisture;
- the temperature does not exceed -50 ° C to +50 ° C / -58 ° F to 122 ° F
- humidity does not exceed 95% at temperatures up to 35 ° С / 95 ° F;
- vibration in the range from 10 to 500 Hz with amplitude up to 0.35 mm and
acceleration up to 49 m / s2;
- impacts with a peak acceleration value of up to 98 m / s2;
- the devices placed in the transport are fixed to avoid falling and collision.
In the case of air transport, the transport must be carried out in sealed heating
compartments.
To prevent moisture condensation inside the hardness tester when transporting it from
frost to a warm room, it is necessary to hold the device for 6 hours at room temperature. In
the case of air transport, the transport must be carried out in sealed heating compartments.
The hardness tester is stored in a case indoors with an air temperature (25 ± 10) ° C,
relative humidity from 45 to 80%, and atmospheric pressure from 630 to 800 mm Hg/0,84 to
1,07 bar. The room should have mold, acid fumes, reagents, paints, and other chemicals.
Abrupt changes in temperature and humidity that because dew should not be allowed in the
room.
For long-term storage, the device must be preserved, for which the electronic unit,
probe, charger and hardness measures, cleaned of dirt and oil, are placed in separate plastic
bags and placed in separate pockets of the transportation bag of the device.
