Decommissioning the Spring-Can
DANGER: The spring-can contains a pre-tensioned spring. The welds on the spring-can should not
be removed until the spring has been determined to be relaxed. Serious injury or death can result
from removing the welds while the spring is still compressed.
Spring-cans must be disassembled using specialized equipment. Before the weld seal is broken, the can
must be contained inside of a press. It is recommended that the spring can be returned to Flowserve for
decommissioning.
