residual oil film (less than 0.0127 mm (0.0005 in.)) on
all internals after the water has evaporated. This
residue provides added corrosion protection until
pump is again filled with liquid or put into service.
Pump cannot be fully drained. Volutes in
the lower half cannot be drained below the bottom of
the main casing bore.
