Transport and storage
During FLOWSIC600 transport and storage operations, make sure that:
b
The meter is firmly secured at all times
b
Measures are taken to avoid mechanical damage
b
Humidity and ambient temperature are within specified limits (see Section 2.2.4).
If the device is to be stored outside for more than one day, sealing surfaces of the flanges
and the interior of the meter body must be protected from corrosion, e.g. with Anticorit
spray (not required for stainless steel meter bodies). The same measure shall be taken if
the meter is to be stored in dry condition, but for more than a week.
Figure 5 Lifting requirements
WARNING:
Only use lifting gear and load handling equipment (e.g. lifting straps) which are
suitable for the weight to be lifted. Max. load information can be found on the
type plate of the lifting gear. It is strongly recommended to use only the eye
bolts when lifting the meter by itself. To lift the FLOWSIC600 please pay
attention to Fig. 5.2.
NOTICE:
Due to natural temperature fluctuation in the course of a day, or if the meter is
transported to a place with different temperature and humidity conditions,
moisture may condense on any material. Carbon steel surfaces may corrode if
left unprotected.
