Storage
- Do not subject wheels to humidity, water other liquids, freezing temperatures or sudden temperature
change.
- Small wheels up to 4" diameter, together with cones, plugs, mounted points and wheels may be stored
in suitable bins, drawers or boxes.
- Type 2 cylinder wheels, type 6 straight cup wheels, type 12 dish wheels and type 13 saucer wheels
should normally be stacked on flat sides with cushioning material between them.
- Thick rim and hard grade cylinder and straight cup wheels should normally be stored on the periphery.
- Soft grade, straight cup wheels, and all type 11 taper cup wheels should be stored base to base and
rim to rim to prevent chipping of edges and cracking of walls.
- Thin plain wheels, such as cutting off wheels or saw sharpening wheels should be stacked on a flat
surface of steel, or similar rigid material.
- Other plain or shaped wheels of appreciable thickness are best supported on their periphery in racks.
The racks should provide cushioned, two point, cradle support to prevent the wheels from rolling.
