Transportation and Storage
Check the shipment immediately upon receipt for completeness of delivery and transport
damage. Furthermore, it should be ensured that the valves and possibly mounted
actuators have not been damaged during transport. Please also check that the supplied
valves (types, nominal sizes etc.) correspond with the order. KLINGER Fluid Control is to
be notified immediately of any kind of deviations. Regarding damage obviously resulting
from transportation, please contact the freight forwarder in charge of delivery.
Ballostar® KHI ball valves are supplied in the OPEN position with the connections
covered in order to protect against dirt and damage. These covers may only be removed
immediately prior to installation.
»
Storage in the default factory packaging.
»
The valves are to be stored in closed rooms, in a non-aggressive atmosphere,
and protected against humidity and contaminants.
»
In the event that protective sheeting or shrinking foils are used, it must be
ensured – through adequate measures – that the atmosphere within the covers
remain free of condensation.
»
Corresponding protective measures are recommended for storage in dusty
rooms.
»
In order to avoid mix-ups, all stored parts should be labeled in accordance with
the shipping notes and stored in the correct place.
»
The temperature in the storage rooms should not exceed the limits
-
20 °C and
+50 °C. Rapid temperature changes are to be avoided whenever possible
(condensate water).
»
Possible changes originating from KLINGER Fluid Control and having an impact
on storage will be announced in a timely manner in the form of a circular.
»
The operation manual is part of the delivery and must be stored with the item.
This ensures that all important information and documents can be passed on.
»
Lift lines suitable for the weight and the lifting aids on the valve (to the extent
present) are to be used for manipulation purposes.
Damages resulting from incorrect storage or manipulation free KLINGER Fluid Control
from any obligations derivable from the warranty, guarantee and product liability.
