Appendix C
Shipping the HAPSITE and Consumables
C.1 Introduction
The HAPSITE instrument and its Service Module are designed to be easy to ship
for use at remote locations. The instruments can be reshipped in the cardboard
boxes (with the same cut-foam inserts) you received them in. These will probably
not suffice for frequent shipping. A heavy-duty fitted shipping case for the HAPSITE
is available from INFICON as part number 930-464-P1. The case for the Service
Module is part number 930-465-P1. Protected by these cases, the instruments will
survive handling by most airline, air freight, and trucking handlers.
While there is room for the necessary cables in each case, additional boxing must
be done for certain accessories and consumables, as detailed below.
The batteries should be removed from the HAPSITE and the Service Module
before shipping, as their weight, under the shock-loads of shipment, will damage
the respective instrument. They will require their own packaging for shipment. The
computer, if required at the remote site, should be hand-carried.
NEG pumps can easily be shipped in the box in which they are received. A NEG
pump installed in the HAPSITE will not be damaged by shipment.
C.2 Shipping the Canisters
The canisters of Carrier Gas and Internal Standards Gas are pressurized to 700
kPa (100 psig) or more. The canisters are approved by the Department of
Transportation (DOT), but they are considered hazardous cargo because of the
pressure. They are permitted to be transported on passenger aircraft, but not in the
passenger compartment, nor checked as luggage, nor in luggage. Because the
labeling of the cartons and the paperwork required are exacting and can be
tedious, the easiest approach is to contact INFICON and order the required gases
to be shipped directly to your site.
If you choose to ship gases which you have on hand, using the original cartons can
save time. Do not ship canisters installed in the HAPSITE; they are still hazardous.
If you must use new cartons, refer to the cartons in which you received the
canisters for the required labeling.
The regulations governing shipments of hazardous goods are found in the DOT
portion of the Code of Federal Regulations: Part 171, 172 and 173 of 49 C.F.R.
The gas canisters, pressurized, are classified as hazardous materials under
Section 172.101. As shipped from INFICON to you, they meet all the packaging
requirements set forth in Section 173.
