2-5 Transit Precautions
To safeguard against damage during transit, transport the instrument to the
installation site in the same container used for transportation from the factory
if circumstances permit.
2-6 Removal from Storage
Upon removal from storage, a visual inspection should be conducted to verify
the condition of the equipment is “as received.” If the equipment has been in
storage in conditions in excess of those recommended
(See Section 2-3), the device should be subjected to a pneumatic pressure
test in accordance with applicable vessel codes.
2-7 Gas Connections
Prior to installation ensure all piping is clean and free from obstructions.
Install piping in such a manner that permits easy access to the instrument if
removal becomes necessary.
2-8 In-Line Filter
It is recommended that an in-line filter be installed upstream from the
pressure controller to prevent the possibility of any foreign material entering
the sensor or control valve. The filtering element should be replaced
periodically or ultrasonically cleaned.
