2.2 Transportation and Storage
Precautions
To prevent damage to the vortex owmeter due to
accidents during transportation, it should be carried
in its original packing condition.
Deterioration of insulation, corrosion or other
abnormalities may occur due to unexpected
situations if the vortex owmeter is stored for a long
period of time after it is delivered to the user site.
When it is anticipated that the vortex owmeter
will be stored for a long time, pay attention to the
following points.
(1) The vortex owmeter should be stored in its original
packing condition in the storage location.
(2) Select a storage location that fullls the following
conditions:
• A place where it will not be exposed to rain or
water
• A place subject to minimal vibrations or shocks
• Temperature and humidity levels should be as
follows: The preferred ambient temperature and
humidity levels are +25°C and approximately 65%
RH.
Ambient temperature: -40 to +85°C
Humidity: 0 to 100% RH (no condensation)
(3) When storing a vortex owmeter after use,
completely clean the owmeter to ensure that there
is no measured uid remaining in its piping line and
on the shedder bar.
(4) If the vortex owmeter is carried to the installation
site and is stored without being installed, rain
water might get inside and impair the instrument's
performance. Install, wire and perform other
installation work immediately after transporting the
vortex owmeter to the installation site.
