Before removing the equipment, check whether hazardous
substances were used as the flow medium. There may be
hazardous residue in the equipment and this may escape
upon opening.
If piping vibrations are present, we recommend securing
the flange bolts and nuts to prevent them from loosening.
Included in the responsibilities of the system operator are
periodic inspections to check:
– the function
– the seal integrity
– the wear level (corrosion, abrasion, cavitation)

Returns

All flowmeters and/or converters delivered to ABB Automation Products for repairs must not contain
any traces of hazardous substances (acids, lyes, solvents, etc.). In order to ensure this, the hazard-
ous substances should be rinsed out of all cavities, e.g. between measurement pipe and housing
and neutralized. These procedures should be confirmed in writing in the accompanying papers.
If the person responsible for these hazardous substances is not able to completely remove them, the
equipment should be returned with the necessary accompanying papers. The owner of the equip-
ment will be invoiced for any costs which ABB may incur through the disposal of hazardous sub-
stances during repairs.
