3 Expected Storage Life

After two years of storage, the seal support system must be inspected for its “as new” properties.

This applies in particular to the instrumentation. An inspection by Flowserve is mandatory.

If the container has been stored in conditions not meeting the recommendations above, the user should

return the equipment to a Flowserve facility for inspection and air testing prior to use regardless of time

in storage.

4 Storage after Pump Performance Test

If used in a pump performance test, the seal support system should be drained and dried completely with

air or nitrogen following the test. Once dry, carbon steel systems should be treated by filling and draining

the pipe work with corrosion-preventing, non-toxic, non-sticky oil that is harmless to the elastomers.

When the system internals are dry from flushing, all open connections to atmosphere should be closed

off with caps or plugs. The seal support system should not be stored connected to the mechanical seal.

5 Start-Up Operation

Before putting any seal support system into service, a Flowserve representative shall supervise the

following activities:

• Cleansing flush of seal support systems.

• Validate that accumulators are charged properly without damage to the bladder.

• Full air leakage test on all connections.

6 Additional Information

The requirements and recommendations in this document are applicable to a wide range of seal support

systems. For additional information or for a review of special storage requirements, please contact your

Flowserve representative.
