4 Transportation, Storage and
Lifting
4.1
Receiving
Check the condition of the valve package on arrival. If it
shows signs of transport damage, check the operation of the
valve carefully. Normally, a visual inspection of the valve
is sufficient. However, if valve has been damaged during
transport, contact your nearest Valmet Flow Control Oy sales
office immediately.
4.2 Storage
The sleeves must be stored as follows:
•
The storing temperature should not exceed +25°C
(+77°F), preferably below +15°C (+59°F) but not under
+5 °C (+41 °F). Keep the storage temperature as constant
as possible.
•
Store the sleeves in a dry place. Prevent water from
condensing on sleeve surfaces.
•
Avoid ultraviolet light. Protect the sleeves against straight
sunlight. Use warehouse instead of storing outside.
•
Remove all equipment generating ozone from the room
where sleeves are stored. Minimize the store room
ventilation.
•
Store sleeves so that they are free from tension. Sleeves
should be stored in vertical position on smooth support.
Do not store sleeves one on top of another.
•
Keep the sleeves off the chemical effect of solutions,
semi-solids, impurities and solvent vapours during
storing.
•
Try to keep the storing time of sleeves as short as
possible. Always use first the material which has been
longest in stock.
4.3 Lifting
Lift the valves securely from the body (part 1 in Mechanical
structure) and use existing lifting eyes when available. When
lifting eyes are not available use lifting slings to lift the valve.
When lifting, fasten the lifting slings to the valve as shown.
Note the centre of gravity and support the valve to avoid it
from turning around. In some models the centre of gravity is
located towards the actuator.
12
Do not attach lifting equipment to the valve bore or actuator
as they can get damaged.
Lifting equipment must be used for valves weighing
over 25 kg (55lb).
