17. Care and Cleaning
- Clean off dirt on the meter only with a damp cloth.
- Do not clean the meter and its accessories with solvent.
- Any media gentle on the applicable materials can be used as cleaning media.
18. Recycling and Environmental Protection
Elster-Instromet has reduced the transport packagings of the measuring instruments
to the bare essentials. Packaging materials are always selected consistently with
a view to recycling. The cardboard items used constitute secondary raw materials
for the paperboard and paper industry. The Instapak
® foam packaging items are
recyclable and can be reused.
Plastic sheeting and strips/bands are also made of recyclable plastic.
At Elster-Instromet, subsequent recycling and disposal are already elements of the
product development process. When selecting the materials, we allow for reusability
of the materials, suitability of materials and subassemblies for dismantling and
separation, and the risks of environmental pollution and health risks when recycling
and dumping on land
fi ll sites. The rotary gas meters mainly consist of metallic materials
which can be melted down again in steelworks and metallurgical plants and which
can thus be reused a virtually unlimited number of times. The plastics used are listed
in Annex B so that sorting and separating of the materials for the purposes of subsequent
recycling is possible.
The oil supplied is Shell Morlina S2 BL 10 (mineral oil), coloured red
(pigment ratio 10 ml / 100 l oil) and, like all mineral oils (e.g. car engine oil),
must be disposed of in an environmentally safe way.
