Warnings and Cautions Please read carefully and observe the information and/or directives in these statements. See below for an explanation of these statements. CAUTION Statements will indicate potentially hazardous operating procedures. WARNING Statements will highlight regulatory requirements. CAUTION: Do not pressurize the container with compressed air or oxygen. Failure to observe this caution could result in an explosive situation, which can cause severe injuries to personnel. CAUTION: Check the weight restrictions for your forklift or hand-operated fork truck before moving the CYCLE-TAINER system. Most lifting equipment is designed to lift up to a designated weight. WARNING: Local regulatory agencies, building codes, and safety policies may require that you attach the container to vent lines during operation. The vent lines attach to the Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) and the Pressure Rupture Disk (PRDA) (if applicable). CAUTION: When direct feeding to instrumentation and when applicable, the setup should have its main solvent supply valve closed to prevent unintentional solvent surges or down-line releases when the CYCLE-TAINER system is pressurized. CAUTION: All metal supply and distribution lines should be electrically earth grounded. Storage areas must provide electrical earth ground connections for all containers while in use. CAUTION: Ensure your gas supply is routed through a high quality stainless steel pressure regulator. The regulator output pressure must not exceed 40 psig for ASME-certified containers; 15 psig for non-asme certified containers; 5 psig for 1250 L containers manufactured prior to October 1998; 19 psig for 1250 L containers manufactured after October 1998. These pressures represent maximum working pressures of the CYCLE-TAINER systems. CAUTION: To avoid possible ignition or explosion to toxic/ flammable vapors, we recommend the pressure relief output be directed to a hood or other proper venting location. If an external vent line is used, ensure it does not restrict gas flow from the pressure relief device or create a vacuum against the pressure relief device. Introduction After selecting a solvent dispensing method using the CYCLE-TAINER Solvent Delivery System Dispensing Guide, the next step is to consider the location of the CYCLE-TAINER system within your facility. This document will provide guidance on components to complete the CYCLE-TAINER system installation. Your company safety officer is responsible for ensuring compliance with local fire and building codes and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes, particularly NFPA 301 and NFPA 452. Some key considerations for installation include: Maximum container size allowable by local regulations, building codes, and company policies. Allowable proximity of the CYCLE-TAINER system to the point of solvent use according to local regulations, building codes, and company policies. Requirements for storage area of full and empty CYCLE-TAINER system containers according to local regulations, building codes, and company policies. Other factors to consider include: CYCLE-TAINER systems can be located next to a fume hood or analytical instrument and connected with flexible tubing. Installations using rigid, mounted tubing can enable distribution of solvent throughout your facility to multiple points of use. Page 4 describes some of the common parts needed for CYCLE-TAINER system installations. Page 6 and 7 are engineering schematics for two common CYCLE-TAINER system installations. Page 6 illustrates a remote container storage scenario with multiple dispense points. Page 7 depicts a system for a direct feed to a small process or analytical instrument. 1 National Fire Protection Agency, NFPA 30: Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code; 2012 Edition 2 National Fire Protection Agency, NFPA 45: Standard of Fire Protection for Laboratories Using Chemicals; 2011 Edition CAUTION: EXPLOSION HAZARD- You must ground the CYCLE-TAINER system during operation. CAUTION: Ensure that CYCLE-TAINER systems are secure during handling to prevent accidental loss of control of the container. This may result in injury to personnel and/or damage to the container. CAUTION: Never mount or store a container horizontally. Do not stack containers on top of each other. CAUTION: DO NOT DROP CONTAINER. This may damage the container or burst the rupture disk, rendering the container inoperable. CAUTION: When direct feeding to instrumentation, DO NOT OVERPRESSURIZE the input line to the instrument as damage to the instrument may occur. Consult the instrument manufacturer operation manual or a technical service representative for the proper feed pressure. CAUTION: Initially turn on the toggle valve slowly to release gas trapped inside the hose. When you release the lever, solvent flow will stop. WARNING: WHEN USING THE CYCLE-TAP SAMPLER, NEVER DEPRESS THE PLUNGER WHEN THE SYRINGE IS ATTACHED TO THE SAMPLER. THIS MAY INTRODUCE CONTMINANTS INTO THE CYCLE-TAINER SYSTEM. CAUTION: Do not exceed operating pressure of the CYCLE-TAINER system. WARNING: If you know or suspect that foreign substances were introduced into the container, quarantine the container and call Customer Service at 1-855-AVANTOR for assistance. Do not return the container without first contacting Avantor to avoid violations of Federal and/or State laws. WARNING: Never tamper with the container components. Promptly report any container malfunctions to Customer Service at 1-855-AVANTOR. ASME-certified CYCLE-TAINER system containers should be used if plumbing from distance or if higher flow rates are required. The use of dedicated hoses and tubing for each chemical product to maintain purity and quality. 2 3
Typical Parts used in CYCLE-TAINER System Installations Part Material of Construction Other Considerations Suggested Vendor Solvent Tubing PTFE and flexible stainless steel Minimum inner diameter of 1/2" is recommended. Consider system operating pressures when selecting tubing. Vendor Product Line or Part Number Convoluted 316L SS Core Stainless Braid Hose Convoluted PTFE Core Hose System Start-up Considerations All valves, pipes, and fittings should be degreased prior to installation. Purge all air and contamination from the piping system using solvent before first use. Test material from point of use to ensure it meets specifications before first use.
