Description
For long term storage, it is recommended that the complete meter
housing assembly be stored under cover in a controlled environmental
atmosphere in the original packaging. The storage temperature limits
are -40 ºC to 60 ºC (-40 ºF to140 ºF).
Elastomers are only installed in a flameproof pad and a threaded top
cover. These parts are not considered to be under pressure in normal
conditions. O-rings must be inspected for wear or damage during
disassembly of the cover or housing and right before assembling the
unit. If any elastomer is damaged, it must be replaced. FKM elastomers
have an unlimited shelf life.
The LME is offered in stainless steel. Use petroleum jelly lubrication
when assembling the cover to the LME housing. Other components,
except O-rings do not require lubrication.
Examine the internal surfaces and flange faces of the turbine meter at
least once every three months.
Repack the turbine meter per original conditions.
Do not remove nameplates or labels. Doing so will void the turbine
meter warranty.
When stacking equipment, follow all safety standards, taking into
account the type of box used, the maximum height of the equipment,
the maximum number of boxes stacked, etc.
