2.1 Inspection

All Model 10D1476 K-MAG magnetic flowmeters are shipped in heavy duty containers. The packag-
ing used for K-MAG protection is certified for air shipment by the Container Testing Laboratory. An
itemized list of all items included in the shipment is attached to the shipping container.
The equipment will generally consist of a magnetic flowmeter and appropriate mounting hardware kit,
and a remote mounted signal converter with a 30 foot (9 m) long interconnection cable. (signal cable
lengths up to 100 feet (30 m) can be supplied, when specified.)
The mounting hardware kit for the standard K-MAG includes:
1) 4 or 8 threaded studs and nuts
2) 2 gaskets
3) appropriate flange adaptor components, if specified.
The centering device (see Figure 2-7) or adaptor sleeves (see Fig-
ure 2-8) required for the particular meter installation are supplied by
When a sanitary K-MAG USDA listed as Accepted Meat and Poultry Equipment is specified, it is
provided with USDA accepted epoxy paint on all exterior surfaces, gaskets certified to FDA/USDA
sanitary requirements and the TRI-CLAMP sanitary adaptors assembled to the meter with all stain-
less steel (studs and nuts) hardware as shown in Figures 2-3 and 2-4.
Inspect all items included in the shipment immediately for indications of damage which may have
occurred during shipment. All damage claims should be reported to the shipping agent involved
before attempting to install or operate the equipment.
The proper use of the items included in the mounting hardware kit and the proper employment of
them during installation is necessary to maintain a valid instrument warranty. (An installation and
warranty tag is furnished with the mounting hardware kit that provides the basic information essential
for proper meter installation.)
Following inspection of the shipment contents, it is suggested that all items be carefully replaced in
the shipping container for transit to the installation site. The use of normal care in the handling and
installation of this equipment will contribute substantially toward satisfactory performance.
