6.5 Storing the flowmeter
As a result of the calibration, the internal components of the flowmeter are wetted with calibration liquid
that has a preservative effect. In addition, a special anticorrosive agent is sprayed onto the interior of
the flowmeter before being dispatched. The connections of the flowmeter are fitted with protective cov-
ers. The preservation applied at the factory will protect the flowmeter for up to six weeks, if it is stored
in a dry and clean location. The manufacturer optionally offers a long-term preservation for storage
times of up to 60 months. The flowmeter is additionally packed in hermetically sealing anti-corrosion
paper.
ATTENTION
Damage to equipment and corrosion if stored improperly and during longer standstills.
► Protect the flowmeter against damage, heat, sunlight, dust and moisture.
► Protect against corrosion during longer standstill.
► Observe measures for storing and preservation.
1.
Store cool and dry and protect against sunlight.
