Chapter 2: Preparation for Use and Shipment
Transporting the Unit
When transporting by commercial carrier (i.e., truck, rail,
etc.), select the shipping method and carrier on the basis of
safe shipment, especially when shipping the fragile Tubehead
Assembly. Distinctly mark the Tubehead carton on all sides
with labeling which provides the carrier the following
information:
◆
Contents contains fragile glass instrumentation
◆
Container is to be shipped in the upright position
only
Customarily, the Tubehead is shipped via air, generally
avoiding ground transportation if possible. When shipping via
air, affix an additional label to the carton stating the following:
“Sulfur hexafluoride, non-flammable gas is
present in limited quantities in one or more
packages of this shipment. This is to certify that
the above mentioned materials are properly
classified, described, packaged, marked, and
labeled, and are in proper condition for
transportation according to the applicable
regulations of the U.S. Department of
Transportation.”
