Transport

2.1

Inspection

Check the devices for possible damage that may have occurred during transport. Damages in
transit must be recorded on the transport documents. All claims for damages must be claimed
without delay against the shipper and before the installation.
2.2

General information on transport

Observe the following when transporting the device to the measurement site:
• The center of gravity may not be in the center of the device.
• The protective plates or dust caps mounted at the process connections of devices equipped
with PTFE/PFA may only be removed before installation. To prevent possible leakage, make
sure that the liner is not cut or damaged.
• Flanged units may not be lifted by the transmitter housing or terminal box.

Transport of flanged units smaller than DN 350

Warning – Danger of injuries due to slipping meter.
The center of gravity for the complete device may be higher than the lifting straps.
Make sure the device has not rotated or slipped unintentionally during transport. Support the
meter laterally.
For transport of flanged units smaller than DN 350 use a lifting strap. Wrap the straps around
both process connections when lifting the device. Avoid chains since these may damage the
housing.
