6 Storage
Brodie International instruments are precision de-
vices and should be handled and stored with care.
They should not be subjected to rough or improper
handling or stored in an environment where mois-
ture, extreme temperatures, or foreign material
can damage the meter.
The inlet and outlet connection covers should
remain on the instrument until the unit is ready for
installation.
If extended storage is required it is recommended
that the instrument be placed in an environmental-
ly controlled warehouse. If this is not possible the
instrument should be stored in a waterproof lined
wooden box. Desiccant packs should be taped to
the inside of the instrument end connections be-
fore they are sealed to reduce the effect of humidi-
ty on the equipment and accessories. Caution must
be used to ensure desiccant packs are removed
prior to installation.
Depending on the storage time it may also be pref-
erable to use a compatible corrosion inhibitor.
If the injection block is removed from service for
an extended period of time it should be fl ushed
with a light oil before being placed into storage.
