4.3 Packaging
4.3.1 General FLEX packaging guidelines
It is the responsibility of the Facility to ensure packaged items are in a suitable container or
transporting device that protects the items from exterior forces, impact, vibration, and
environmental conditions. Before packaging items, ensure the following:
1. Inspect all items for cleanliness immediately before packaging. Dirt, oil residue, metal
chips, or other forms of contamination shall be removed by approved cleaning methods.
2. Components which are not immediately packaged must be protected from
contamination. Use nozzle covers to prevent foreign objects and debris from entering
the device. Package with a barrier to prevent water vapor, salt air, dust, dirt, and other
forms of contamination from penetrating the package.
3. Items and their containers shall be properly identified by markings.
Before shipping, prepare a packing slip and fasten it to the unit. The packaging slip shall contain
the following information:
1. Customer’s purchase order number
2. Flowserve job number
3. Customer’s name and address
4. “Ship to” address
5. Quantity
6. Description
7. Date shipped
8. Carrier used
For shipments with more than one unit container or package for any given order, each parcel
shall be properly marked (such as 1 of 3, 2 of 3, etc.) and contain a copy of the packing list.
