Conditions of use

Inspection before the first use

Use purposes: these pump chains are designed for lifting pumps and breathers in the water and sewage sectors.

Load: the load must only act in the longitudinal direction with a maximum working load limit specified in the table above or on the identification tag. The chain links must be aligned in the direction of the load.

Admissible operating temperature: -40 °C – 350 °C. Impacts: the load must be applied without any impact or shock loading.

Edge load: must be avoided. In case of possible edge load, the load factors described in the table below must be taken into consideration.

• PCWI Stainless steel pump chains must be only used by competent personnel • PCWI Stainless steel pump chains must be checked before each use for visible signs of damage

Before the first use, following criteria must be applied: • The delivered pump chain corresponds to the ordered chain • Test certificate, certificate of compliance and declaration of conformity are provided • All informations given on the pump chain (marking,working load limit) coincide with the information given by the test certificate and the certificate of compliance • If necessary, all the details about the pump chain must be given to a chain file • This operating manual has to be always available to the user and must be read and understood by the corresponding personnel

Restrictions of use

The safe working condition of the pump chain must be visually checked before each use. During the inspection, pay attention to visible signs of damage. In the case of doubt or when one or more withdrawal criteria are met (see below), the pump chain must be taken out service and inspected by a competent person.

Under certain conditions, the use of PCWI Stainless steel pump chains is restricted (see table below). The table below describes certain loads with their corresponding reduction factors. Safe working load values can be calculated by multiplying the working load limit with the reduction factor defined in the table. If more restrictions of use can be applicable during a lifting process, all corresponding reduction factors must be taken into account. The use with chemical substances (e.g. acids, alkalis, as well as the fumes released by these substances), food, cosmetics or pharmaceutical products is only allowed under certain conditions and each individual case requires the prior approval of pewag – especially with food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. Surface coating procedures are also only to be carried out after consulting with pewag.

All instructions given in this operating manual assume the absence of extremely dangerous conditions. Such extremely dangerous conditions include offshore activities, lifting of people and potentially dangerous loads, such as liquid metals or nuclear material. In these cases, the admissibility and extent of the risks are to be assessed by pewag.

Inspection before each use

Inspection after extraordinary events Extraordinary events – e.g. accidents, overheating, overloading, collision, influences of acids or chemical substances – affect the safe working condition of the pump chain. In these cases, the chain must immediately be taken out of service and inspected by a qualified person.

Reasonably foreseeable misuse Single leg PCWI Stainless steel pump chains must not be used as two-leg chain slings. They are also not suitable for lifting people. PCWI stainless steel pump chains must not be used in explosion-protected areas or under other circumstances than those described in Conditions of use

and Restrictions of use. Do not subject PCWI Stainless steel pump chains to heat, welding or drilling processes.

Assembly instructions The assembly of the PCWI Stainless steel pump chain with the pump or the breather must only be executed by a qualified person. The connecting component - e.g. shackle – must be suitable for lifting loads.

Safety precautions to be taken by the user Gloves must be worn during the whole process.

When conditions with restrictions of use take place, working load limit values must be reduced by the above reduction factors in order to assure the required security level.

Residual risks Overloading because of exceeding the working load limit or not reducing the working load limit when influences under severe conditions such as temperature, edge load or impact occur, can lead to failure on the pump chain. Other factors are inappropriate use with chemical substances, food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical products, strong vibrations with heavy load, transverse loading, and the use of uninspected, knotted or twisted pump chains. In such cases, the load could fall.

How to act in case of accidents or damages After deformation of the chain because of overloading or other extraordinary events, take the lifting assembly out of service for inspection or repair by a qualified person.

Maintenance, Inspections and Repairs

because of frequent use with maximum working load limit or under conditions with restrictions of use, excessive wear or corrosion. It is recommended to subject PCWI Stainless steel pump chains every two years to a crack test. There are different ways of crack testing: subjecting the pump chain to a load test with 1.5 times the working load limit, followed by a visual inspection or a dye-penetration method.

Note: The interval and the value of the load test may vary due to national regulations.

Withdrawal: • Broken parts, deformation, notches, cracks of all types.

• Sign of heat.

• In the case of doubts about the safety and correct functioning of the chain.

• Missing or illegible identification tag.

• Unrecognizable identification marking of the components.

• Wear: the mean diameter dm is permitted to be 90% of the nominal size dn. Dm is determined as the mean value of the diameters d1 and d2 measured at right angles on the corresponding cross section (see figure). The chain must be discarded if

dm = d1 + d2 ≤ 0,9 dn 2 • Elongation of the chain: the chain must be discarded if the inside pitch of the link t>1,05tn, whereas tn is the nominal pitch from the chain link (see figure).

• If wear or chemical material removal (e.g. pitting) occurs and the tolerable change of measure is transgressed (see following table).

Maintenance: PCWI Stainless steel pump chains shall be cleaned regularly.

Inspections: PCWI Stainless steel pump chains need to be inspected in a clean condition – they must be free of oil and dirt. Painting is only permissible if an evaluation of the chain condition is possible. When cleaning, do not subject PCWI Stainless steel pump chains to processes which cause material embrittlement, overheating (e.g. flame cleaning), material abrasion (e.g. sand blasting), etc. Surface cracks or other defects must not be covered. PCWI Stainless steel pump chains must be checked before each use for visible signs of damage. Once a year an inspection must be carried out by a competent person. However, this period must be shortened up in view of the conditions of use – e.g.
