2 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
2.1 Consignment receipt and unpacking
Immediately after receipt of the equipment it must be
checked against the delivery/shipping documents for
its completeness and that there has been no damage
in transportation.
Any shortage and or damage must be reported
immediately to Flowserve and received in writing
within one month of receipt of the equipment. Later
claims cannot be accepted.
Check any crates, boxes and wrappings for any
accessories or spare parts which may be packed
separately with the equipment or attached to side
walls of the box or equipment.
Each product has a unique serial number. Check that
this number corresponds with that advised and
always quote this number in correspondence as well
as when ordering spare parts or further accessories.
2.1.1
Receipt inspection
The following information regarding
receiving is only offered as a general guideline to the
customer. Flowserve requires that all receiving
be conducted in accordance with specifications set
forth in Chapter 3, Jobsite Receiving and Protection
from API Recommended Practices 686/PIP REIE
686, First Edition.
The pump and its associated equipment were
carefully inspected at the factory prior to
shipment to ensure quality compliance. It is
suggested that the pump be inspected upon
arrival and that any irregularities or damage be
reported to the carrier immediately.
The condition of the skid and covering is indicative of
the way the shipment was handled. Broken skids,
torn coverings, bent hold-down bolts, broken straps,
etc. indicate rough handling.
The protective covers on the pump nozzles should be
in place and undamaged.
2.1.2
Unpacking
The pump should arrive already mounted on the
baseplate and it is therefore suggested that the
unpacking of the equipment should proceed per
instruction as outlined in this manual.
In general, care is to be taken when removing
crating, coverings, and strapping in order not to
damage any auxiliary equipment and/or the paint
finish.
2.1.3
Paint/rust preventive
Internal parts of the pump and bearing housings are
protected prior to shipment with a rust preventive
such as Dasco guard 2408M. This can be removed
with petroleum solvents.
External non-machined surfaces are painted with one
of applicable Flowserve coating.
Parts ordered separately are protected with a rust
preventive such as Dasco guard 2408M. This can be
removed with petroleum solvents.
2.2 Handling
Boxes, crates, pallets or cartons may be unloaded
using forklift vehicles or slings dependent on their
size and construction.
2.3 Lifting
To avoid distortion, the pump unit
should be lifted as shown.
TRAINED PERSONNEL
A crane must be used for all pump sets in excess
of 25 kg (55 lb). Fully trained personnel must
carry out lifting, in accordance with local
regulations. The driver and pump weights are
recorded on their respective nameplates or mass
plates.
2.3.1
Lifting equipment
The following information regarding lifting is
only offered as a general guideline. Flowserve
requires that all lifting and rigging be performed in
accordance with specifications set forth in Chapter 2,
Lifting and Rigging from API Recommended
Practices 686/PIP REIE 686, First Edition.
EQUIPMENT CAPACITY
Make sure that any equipment used to lift the
pump or any other of its components is capable
of supporting the total weight encountered. Make
sure that all parts are properly rigged before
attempting to lift.
