DISASSEMBLY AND CLEANING POST TESTING
CAUTION: When using water as a test medium a
water/rust inhibitor solution must be used in order
to prevent rusting after testing. Use 5% solution
QC1208, or equivalent (Ex. .5 oz./gallon = 500-gallon
tank ~2 gallons QC1208).
After successful test (if water is used), the following must
be completed.
1. Drain thoroughly.
2. The measuring tube housing, stators etc. must be
cleaned and dried by means of hot air or high-velocity
air blow o, after disassembly.
a. Remove the Internal Parts Kits
i. Reference Bulletin MN02010 for detailed
instructions.
b. Remove all the fluid from the inside of the outer
housing; the carbon steel housing must be dried
thoroughly.
c. Disassemble the Internal Parts Kits
i. Reference Bulletin MN02010 for detailed
instructions.
d. Internal Parts Kits Components – Once
disassembled clean and dry all surfaces of
residual fluid. In addition, each bearing should
be cleaned with a dry, clean, lint-free cloth.
e. If the meter is being placed in long term storage,
refer to step 1b of the Long Term Storage section
of this document prior to reinstalling the internal
parts kit assembly.
f. Once all components are clean and dried,
reassemble as appropriate.
i. Reference Bulletin MN02010 for detailed
instructions.
ii. After assembling the IPK, carefully rotate the rotor
in the measuring tube. If the rotor doesn’t rotate
freely, inspect all parts for proper alignment.
STORAGE
1. If the meter is not installed as soon as it is received,
it is recommended that the complete meter assembly
be stored under protective cover in an environmentally
controlled area (humidity is greatest concern). Use
original factory packaging.
2. Store the turbine meter in a safe area to avoid damage.
Protect the housing and components from external
impact of any kind.
3. Seal the inlet and outlet flanges of meter housing with
flange covers to prevent intrusion of contaminants.
4. Examine housing for damage before its commissioning.

inside the carbon steel meter body liberally covering all
surfaces.

i. Reference Bulletin MN02010 for detailed instructions.
d. Seal the inlet and outlet flanges of meter housing with
flange gaskets and blind flanges to prevent intrusion of
contaminants.
2. Examine the internal surfaces and flange faces of the turbine
meter housing at least once every three months for signs of
rust and corrosion.
3. In the event of extended storage longer than 1 year, it is
suggested to have FMC Technologies personnel inspect
equipment before its commissioning.
