9.0 HANDLING

See Equipment General Specifications

10.0 PRESERVATION METHODS

10.1 PRESERVATIVES

All commodities will be exposed to severe climate conditions. The nature of thecommodity will determine the type of preservative to be used. All metal commoditiessubject to corrosion (rust) shall be processed with a preservative suitable for the purposeintended, in accordance with applicable manufacturers specifications. Preservatives mustbe easily applied to all kinds of metal surfaces by a variety of methods and should coat thesurface with a sufficiently thick film to exclude moisture and air. This film should remain inposition for an indefinite period of time and yet be completely removable from the surfacewithout undue labor. The preservative itself should have no corrosive action of any kind

on metal.

Equipment and components that are required to be sealed off from the atmosphere, shallbe protected in one or more of the following ways:

Wrapping in Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) Wrap with all lines, joints and foldssealed with waterproof, cloth-backed duct tape.

Packing in a totally enclosed wooden box lined in a airtight manner with Kraftpaper impregnated with VCI. The Kraft paper shall have a waterproof backing.

16.0 PACKING

16.1 CONSTRUCTION

The container and interior packaging should be designed so as to either absorb theshocks and relieve the destructive forces by means of cushioning material, or to distribute,localize and transform these forces in such a manner that the commodity and container

will be able to withstand them without damage to the merchandise.

Selection of packing depends on the nature of the commodity. Items which completely fillthe container and contribute to the strength of the package are normally the easiest andmost economical to package. Articles which do not completely fill the selected containermust be cushioned, braced, fastened, or blocked to prevent damage to the article itself ordestruction of the container.

Minor disassembly and nesting to conserve shipping volume and prevent damage shall befollowed. Material requiring special jigs, fixtures, tooling or recalibration for reassembly

8/13/2019 25652-2000-3PS-M000-M0009-Att001r001v2_0





shall not be dismantled. Parts, attachments, or fixtures of the commodity packed shall beboxed, or blocked and braced within the shipping container (where practical) containingthe main unit, maintaining a low center of gravity.

If the load must be kept upright, equip the packing with lift handles, skids, top peaks orgables, or some similar device to assure stowage and handling in an upright position.Break bulk items shall be equipped with lifting lugs when required.

Do not exceed whatever capacity the (box, crate, etc.) was designed to accommodate.Inner blocking and bracing must distribute the contents' weight over interior surfacesrather than concentrate it on one or two critical points.

16.2 BUNDLES AND PALLETS

Unitize, palletize, or assemble cargo in the largest practical unit consistent with handling,weight and dimension limitations at transshipment points and destination. Material packedon pallets shall be enclosed and strapped to four way entry pallets. Material must fit palletwithout large voids and must be capable of withstanding stacking without damage.

Material packed in bundles shall be segregated to length and size, shall be securelystrapped (32 mm width heavy duty strapping) with a stretching tool, secured with crimpedsteel seals (spaced 900 mm apart) and skidded to permit stacking without damage.Bundles are not to exceed 1000 kg gross weight unless previously approved by theCONTRACTOR.

Sturdy commodities such as rough castings, structural or fabricated steel, heavy wall pipe,

or tanks not subject to water or handling damage, may be bundled, skidded, or secured topallets for shipments.

Material subject to handling or stowage damage shall be packed in crates or boxes. Largeitems not subject to water damage may be packed in unsheathed (open) crates.

Material subject to water damage shall be packed in:

Waterproof lined boxes or sheathed crates.

An inverted waterproof bag slipped over the material within the box or sheathed crate.

Should a higher degree of protection be required, employ the use of both type

barriers.

Shipping containers over 23 kg shall be provided with 4 way skids permitting handling byforklift and/or slings. Minimum skid depth will be 64 mm. Skid ends shall be chamfered.

Crates and boxes are not to exceed 5000 kg gross weight unless previously approved byCONTRACTOR.

16.7 CRATES

Open crates can be used where contents are virtually indestructible and packing isrequired only to facilitate handling and stowage. Crates also serve well as overpacks toconsolidate fiberboard boxes or to provide unit pack stiffness to resist crushing. Threeway corner construction reinforced with diagonals shall be used for all crates that are notplywood sheathed.

Large crates usually must bear great superimposed loads. Ensure top strength byfrequent (not more than 950 mm apart) top joists. When sheathed, place joists undersheathing. Provide joist supports directly under joist ends.

Reinforce floor at load bearing points when between skids or sill members.

To permit entry of forklifts, terminate end sheathing at flooring. Terminate side sheathing12 mm short of skid bottom. To transfer load to the tines of the forklift, add additionalcross members at 500 mm and 1000 mm from each end.

Ventilation holes shall be placed at intervals around the sides and ends of sheathedcrates. Provide drainage holes through the deck or space floor boards 10 mm apart whenthe crate structure above the base is not weatherproof or where condensation can occur.

Where excessive heat and humidity can be expected, additional ventilation should beprovided. This can be done by drilling holes through the ends near the top, but notthrough any frame members. These holes should not be greater than 38 mm diameter normore than three holes per 600 mm of crate length or width.

16.8 PLYWOOD BOXES AND CRATES

Plywood Thickness and Grade

Up to 4536 kg and/or spans 600 mm or less, use 10 mm C-D exterior glue plywood.

4536 kg and over and/or spans up to 1220 mm, use 13 mm C-D exterior glue plywood.

NOTE: CONTRACTOR approval is required for crates over 5080 kg.

8/13/2019 25652-2000-3PS-M000-M0009-Att001r001v2_0





If exceptionally rough and abusive handling or pilferage problems are anticipated, use 13mm C-D exterior glue plywood regardless of size.

16.9 FRAME MEMBERS

Up to 454 kg, use 25 mm x 100 mm lumber.

For 454 kg to 5080 Kg use 50 mm x 100 mm lumber.

16.10 SKIDS AND RUB STRIPS

Up to 454 kg, use 50 mm x 100 mm lumber.

For 454 kg to 5080 kg, use 100 mm x 100 mm lumber.

16.11 FASTENERS

Staples may be used to secure plywood to struts. The following applies when staples areused:

Use maximum length possible and clinch.

Crown width should be at least 10 mm.

Orient crown 45° to grain of plywood.

When fastening, mating members must be in contact, since staples do not drawparts together.

16.12 FRAMING

Corners should be lapped double post.

Nails spaced at 80 mm maximum intervals.

All frame members to be inside the crate.

Horizontal brace required when 1500 mm or over in height.

17.0 INNER PACKAGING

All items shall be braced and/or cushioned within the container to prevent damage fromshock, vibration, rough handling and transportation. Water absorbing cushioning materialshould be avoided.

Like small items shall be packaged in cartons, bags or boxes prior to packing in shippingcontainers. Do not pack loose.

8/13/2019 25652-2000-3PS-M000-M0009-Att001r001v2_0





Shield commodities on top and sides by use of waterproof shrouds or waterproof caseliners. As many waterproof barriers contain asphalt, an additional paper liner may benecessary to prevent the asphalt material from bleeding onto the commodity.

Preserved surfaces shall be insulated from hydroscopic material (wood, fiberboard, etc.)with grease proof, noncorrosive barriers. Do not bring polyethylene film in contact withrust inhibitor coatings. Finished and painted surfaces shall be protected from abrasion.Place commodities on skids, pallets, or dunnage to keep from resting in collecteddrainage. Crates and other large containers shall have drain holes in the bottom topreclude collection of water within the packing.

Commodities shall be nested or packed to reduce volume as much as possible. Packarticles firm but not tight. Construct containers having dimensions to prevent slack space.

Moisture sensitive commodities (precision instruments, electrical, and electronicassemblies, etc.) subject to water vapor damage shall be packed (following appropriatepreservation methods) in an interior moisture-vaporproof barrier together with silica gel ora comparable desiccant. When packs or bags of preservatives are used, each unit shallbe tagged and data recorded on the tag.

NOTE: It will be the responsibility of the MANUFACTURER/VENDOR of the commodityfor packing to assure that the commodity is free and dry of all moisture bothinternally and externally. Certification may be required for items which areknown to have undergone hydrotesting.

The amount of silica gel or desiccant will be in proportion to the total volume of the outer

container. Suitable cushioning will be used on all corners, edges and protrusions toprotect flexible barriers from puncture. Included air volume shall be kept to a minimum.When flexible barriers are used, the barrier shall cling snugly to the enclosed item withoutpuncture. Silica gel or desiccant shall not come in contact with critical working surfaces orhighly finished surfaces.

18.0 MARKING

Indelible inks, paint and waterproof labels shall be used to preclude obliteration of marks,shipping instructions and handling symbols.

Marks should be legible at a distance of 90 meters and approximately 80 mm to 120 mmin height.

Only those marks specified in the Purchase Order, plus any cautionary markings, andspecial handling symbols shall be usedAdvertising or marks which indicates contents orother extraneous information shall not be used. Use standard international symbols forcenter of gravity, lifting points, up arrows, keep dry and fragile.

Equipment , which is required to be stored/transported in an air conditioned environmentshall be separately marked.

APPENDIX 1

RUST PREVENTIVE MATERIALS

This section gives a description of rust preventive materials and their application.

1.0 VAPOR CORROSION INHIBITOR (VCI)

VCI is a powder and is used to protect equipment that will be packaged or otherwiseenclosed. VCI will assure constant protection for as long as two years.

VCI reaches the metal surfaces in the vapor phase, and is absorbed on the metal to forman invisible film which prevents corrosion. Excellent protection is given to ferrous metals,

most nonferrous metals and nonmetallic materials.

VCI can be applied dry by use of a Floc Gun or other dusting device. VCI powder shouldbe dispersed over exposed metal surfaces.

Application requirements and limitations shall be in accordance with manufacturer’sinstructions.

NOTE: Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor or Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VPI) are generic termsfor corrosion preventive products that contain environmentally safe chemicals.

2.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

VCI should be handled in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

VCI under normal conditions is not hazardous. However, workers exposed to aircontaining VCI powder should wear dust masks.

3.0 VAPOR CORROSION INHIBITING PAPERS

VCI Vapor Barrier is a Kraft paper that is coated with a rust inhibiting chemical. It offersexcellent protection for up to two years when applied correctly. It is supplied in rolls, sheetsand strips.

VCI papers give off invisible vapor that prevents oxygen in moisture from combining withsteel to form rust. There are no special requirements for storing materials protected with

these papers other than storing them in a cool, or shaded area and in a dry location.Packages may be opened briefly for inspection without loss of protection by merelyresealing the package immediately following inspection.

4.0 VCI EMITTERS

VCI Emitters are sponges that have been treated with Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor. Generallythey have an adhesive backing for attachment to the inner surface of the enclosure wherecorrosion control is required. These emitters are convenient and an acceptable alternativeto porous pouches of VCI.

5.0 VAPOR SPACE INHIBITING (VSI) CIRCULATING OIL

Shell VSI circulating oil contains an oil soluble, volatile anti-rust compound. This corrosioninhibitor fills the vapor space above the oil level to form a rust preventive barrier onexposed interior metal surfaces and combats vapor space rusting. VSI oil is available inone viscosity grade and is suitable for hydraulic, turbine, and general lubricatingapplications.
