STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
Consider a Unit in Storage When:
1.
It has been delivered to the job site and is awaiting
installation.
2. It has been installed, but operation is delayed pending
completion of planned construction.
3. There are long period (30 days) between operation cycles.
4. The plant or department is shut down.
TEMPORARY STORAGE OF
EQUIPMENT
This procedure applies to horizontal and vertical pumps
only for storage of one month or less. For longer periods,
refer to LONG TERM STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT.
Accessories such as motors, steam turbines, gears, etc.,
must be handled in accordance with the respective
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Oil Lube Frames
Storage requirements vary depending on length of storage
and the climatic environment.
If the equipment is not to be installed and operated soon
after arrival, store in a clean, dry, well ventilated place, free
from vibration and rapid or wide variations in temperatures.
On all rotating equipment, rotate the shaft several
revolutions every week to coat the bearings with lubricant,
retard oxidation or corrosion, and prevent possible
brinelling. Shaft extensions and other exposed machine
surfaces should be coated with an easily removable rust
preventative such as Tectyl No. 502C, Valvoline Oil
Company, Division of Ashland Petroleum Company.
NOTE: Oil lubricated pumps are shipped without
lubricant. Fill the frame completely with oil for
storage. Before putting equipment into operation,
drain the oil to proper level.
Grease Lube Frames
Storage requirements vary depending on length of storage
and the climatic environment.
If the equipment is not to be installed and operated soon after
arrival, store in a clean, dry, well ventilated place, free from
vibration and rapid or wide variations in temperatures.
On all rotating equipment, rotate the shaft several
