Make sure that any equipment used to lift the
pump or any of its components is capable of
supporting the total weight encountered (see
General Arrangement drawing). A crane must be
used for all pump sets in excess of 25 kg (55 lb.).
Ensure that all parts are properly rigged before
attempting to lift. Consult current local regulations.
Fully trained personnel must carry out lifting,
in accordance with local regulations. The driver
[8000] and pump weights are recorded on their
respective nameplates or mass plates.
2.4 Storage
If it is necessary to store the pump
any length of time before installation, find a location
where it will be protected. The nozzle and piping
connection covers provided with the pump should
be left in place during storage.
The pump driver [8000]
should not be stored in a damp atmosphere without
special protection. Refer to driver [8000] instruction
manual for storage instructions.
2.4.1 Rust preventive
The internal parts of pump are coated with a
thin-film of polar-type rust preventive. This can be
removed by flushing with petroleum solvents.
External machined surfaces are protected with a
durable, drying-type rust preventive. This can be
removed with kerosene or other solvent.
External non-machined surfaces are painted. Parts
ordered separately are protected with a thin-film of
polar-type rust preventive. This can be removed
with petroleum solvents.
2.4.2 Extended storage requirements for
horizontal pumps
2.4.2.1 General
During extended periods of storage prior to
installation and from the time of installation until
commercial operation, precautions must be taken to
protect the pump from deterioration. The various
parts of the pump are protected prior to shipment by
applying varying grades of preservative and paint.
However, during shipment and handling, the
preservatives are subjected to conditions that can
cause their removal. Also, during extended periods
of time, the preservatives may deteriorate. The
following procedures should be followed to prevent
deterioration of the pump during the extended
storage period. These procedures may also be
supplemented by the experience of the persons
performing the tasks.
It should be noted, that unless otherwise agreed to,
full responsibility and costs associated with the
storage and inspection of this equipment rests with
the customer.
If pump is equipped with a
mechanical seal [4200] and is stored or has not
been run for 1 year or more, the mechanical seal
[4200] must be removed before start-up and faces
re-lapped to guard against the possibility of
mechanical seal [4200] leakage. When reinstalling
the mechanical seal [4200], new circular joint rings
and gaskets must be used.
If pump is equipped with a
mechanical seal [4200], the mechanical seal [4200]
should be coated with preservative, boxed and
stored in a warm dry place.
It is recommended that pump be
stored completely assembled.
2.4.2.2 Storage area
When selecting a storage area, the following should
be taken into consideration:
• deterioration of the equipment will be
proportionate to the class/type of storage
provided
• expenses involved in restoring the equipment at
time of operation will be proportionate to the
class/type of storage provided
If at all possible, the pump and its
component parts should be stored indoors where
they will be protected from the elements. If it is not
possible, precautions must be taken to protect them
from the elements. Regardless of whether storage
is inside or outside, the storage area should be
vibration-free.
All packages marked for inside
storage must be stored indoors.
When stored outdoors, the pump and
its components should be protected from dirt, dust,
rain, snow or other unfavourable conditions by
coverings of heavy gauge plastic sheets, canvas,
waterproof burlap or other suitable coverings.
All equipment must be placed upon
skids or blocks to prevent contact with the ground
and surface contaminants. Equipment must be
adequately supported to prevent distortion and
bending.
Fill the bearing housings [3200.’s]
with the recommended oil to the bottom of the shaft
[2100]. Flowserve does not recommend rotating the
shaft [2100] on a periodic basis.
