Flowserve requires that all receiving be conducted in
accordance with specifications set forth in Chapter 3,
Jobsite Receiving and Protection from API

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 person(s)
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.
