environment from exposure to residual media.
8.1 Return

All instruments delivered to WIKA must be free from any kind of hazardous
■
substances (acids, bases, solutions, etc.) and must therefore be cleaned before

■
packaging.
With hazardous substances, include the material safety data sheet for
the corresponding medium.
To avoid damage:
