2.2.1 PUMP PRESERVATIVE STANDARDS
For domestic shipments the following standards, consistent with those recommended by the American
Petroleum Institute for pumps, are applied:
1. All inner surfaces and internal parts of the pump casings and bearing housings are fully
coated with a petroleum-based rust preventative, except as follows:
a. If customer requires specific preservation, these specifications will be met;
b. Parts which are made of stainless steel are never coated;
c. Internal surfaces of pumps to be used in boiler feed service are not coated, unless the
pump is to be stored for more than six months, in which case any internal components
made of cast iron or carbon steel will be coated.
2. External surfaces are coated with a paint that combines a primer with a finish coat, unless
otherwise specified by contract.
3. External surfaces of components required to be kept free of paint, such as the shaft and
coupling, are coated with a petroleum-based rust preventative.
4. Glass surfaces such as gauge and indicator faces are masked.
5. Flanged openings are protected by wood or metal covers in accordance with the applicable
edition of API 610.
6. All openings beveled for welding are protected by wood or metal covers attached and sealed
with adhesive tape.
7. All threaded openings in the piping, pump case, and auxiliary equipment are closed with
threaded pipe plugs made of metal and suitable for permanent use.
For international shipments, crating and preservative measures are provided as specified by contract.
2.2.1.1 Precautions At Job Site
1. Do not allow the unit to rest in direct sunlight. Sunlight will cause rapid condensation of
atmospheric moisture on the pump, resulting in corrosion of pump surfaces.
2. Some ventilation is required under the plastic covering around the pump. Do not seal the
cover tight at any time.
2.2.1.2 Short-Term Indoor Storage
Factory preservative measures will protect the pump for up to 6 months of indoor storage at the site,
as long as the shaft is rotated exactly 180 degrees at the 3 month point.
2.2.1.3 Short-Term Outdoor Storage
Factor preservative measures will protect the pump for up to 6 months of outdoor storage with the
following precautions taken at the site:
1. Store the pump at least 6 in. (150 mm) above ground on wood blocks.
2. Cover the pump with a plastic cover with a thickness of at least 6 mil (0.15 mm). Seal the
cover with tape, and cut a ventilation hole about 1/2 in. (13 mm) diameter every 4 ft. (1.2 m)
along the baseplate (at a minimum, one hole at each end of the baseplate).
3. At the 3 month point, rotate the shaft exactly 180 degrees.
