Shipping Preparation, Storage & Handling; Transport; Storage; Handling - Delta Controls HTP Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Transport

Care should be used in carrying, moving, and shipping the HTP/HTX thermocouple. A significant portion of the HTP/HTX is
constructed of ceramic. Ceramics are very brittle at ambient temperature and can be damaged by mechanical shock.
The unit is equipped with a sand-filled protective shipping tube when it leaves the factory. This tube and its sand packing
should be left in place until the persons installing the unit have arrived at the installation site and are ready to insert the
HTP/HTX and make up the flange.
The shipping tube and shipping crate should be retained for re-shipment and storage of the HTP/HTX assembly.

Storage

Store equipment in a clean, dry place. It is recommended that the equipment remain packaged until ready for installation to
prevent breakage or misplacing of components.
When storing a unit or preparing it for shipment, the shipping tube should be reinstalled and filled with clean, fine #1 blasting
sand.

Handling

Units are constructed with ceramic material that is susceptible to damage from rough handling. Units should only be handled
with their protective shipping pipes in place, and, whenever possible transported to/from the installation site in their original
shipping containers.

Survey the Installation

a. Confirm the vessel nozzle location relative to the instrument tag
the planned installation location of the Delta Controls Flush Gas
Station and the temperature transmitter. (Note: The thermocouple
transmitter is not supplied by Delta Controls.)
b. Confirm the transmitter thermocouple compatibility with the thermocouple element type(s).
c. Confirm the availability of the proper type thermocouple extension leadwire for connection of the
transmitter. A separate cable is required for each thermocouple element. The type cable is determined
by the type(s) of elements in the thermocouple assembly as noted on the cover of this document. Note:
Thermocouple extension leadwire may be obtained from Delta Controls stock at nominal cost.
Secure the flange bolts, studs and required flange gasket.
