ORGANIC PACKINGS. The removal of organic packings is specified
throughout this specification. This is to prevent these materials from

attaching ferrous metal surfaces or plunger shafts amd cylinder walls.

When the packings are neoprene they need not be removed, or when the
metal surfaces that the organic packings come in contact with are nonferrous (brass liners, etc), the packings need not be removed.
