4.3 Storage
NOTE!
Property damage due to improper handling and storage!
Improper handling and storage of the cone pipe stoppers alter their
physical characteristics. This can result in damage to the cone pipe
stoppers and a reduced service life.
– Handle the cone pipe stoppers with care.
– Comply with all the storage conditions.
If stored and handled correctly, the characteristics
of rubber products will remain almost unchanged
for a long time.
Note the following storage conditions:
Where possible, store the cone pipe stopper suspended from the towing
eyes
(not the couplings)
.
The storage area must be cool, dry, free of dust and moderately venti-
lated.
The temperature in the storage area must be around 15 °C and it must
never exceed 25 °C. The temperature must also not fall below -10 °C.
If there are radiators and pipelines in the storage area, these must be
insulated accordingly to ensure that the temperature does not exceed
25 °C. The minimum distance between radiators and the stored goods
must be 1 m.
Rubber products must not be stored in damp storage areas. The humid-
ity must be below 65%.
Protect rubber products against light (direct sunlight, artificial light
with a high UV proportion). Windows in the storage area must be
darkened accordingly.
Make sure that there is no ozone-causing equipment in the storage area.
The storage area must be free of solvents, fuels, lubricants, chemicals,
acids etc.
Rubber products must be stored without pressure, tension or similar
deformation as this can cause lasting deformation or the formation of
cracks.
Some metals, e.g. copper and manganese, are also harmful to rubber
products.
