How to Ship a Nuclear Gauge
To prepare a gauge for shipment please follow these steps.
STEP 1
Lock the source rod in the "safe" position.
Place the gauge and reference standard block in the case. All other parts and accessories are not neccessary, and can be removed from the case. For a Troxler 4640B, the magnesium plate and cradle must be included.
STEP 2
Enclose a NDM Calibration and Servicing Form.
STEP 3
Check shipping labels on the case. You should have 2 Yellow II labels, 1 on the front of the case and 1 on the rear.
On the case should also be a US DOT Type "A" label.
STEP 4
A padlock or zip tie may be used to prevent unauthorized access to the gauge and qualifies as a "security seal".
STEP 5
You are now ready to fill out a Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods (DG) Form.
Please contact us to receive the correct Dangerous Goods Form and Special Forms Certificate for shipping your gauge to us.
Print two copies of the dangerous goods document in colour and attach it to the outside of the box, along with one copy of the special forms certificate. Fill out the dangerous goods form with your address details and sign the form before attaching it to the gauge box.
STEP 6
Contact your carrier (we recommend Mainfreight) to arrange the shipping of your NDM.
On the consignment note be sure to check "Yes" under the heading "Does the shipment contain dangerous goods?"
