Grout The Baseplate - Goulds Pumps 3700 Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

When the reading value is...
Negative
Positive
4. Slide the driver carefully in the appropriate direction.
NOTICE:Make sure to slide the driver evenly. Failure to do so can negatively affect
horizontal angular correction.

5. Repeat the previous steps until the permitted reading value is achieved.
Perform complete alignment for a vertical correction
A unit is in complete alignment when both the angular indicator (A) and the parallel indicator (P)
do not vary by more than 0.002 in. (0.05 mm) as measured at four points 90° apart.
1. Set the angular and parallel dial indicators to zero at the top-center position (12 o'clock) of
the driver coupling half (Y).
2. Rotate the indicators to the bottom-center position (6 o'clock).
3. Record the indicator readings.
4. Make corrections according to the separate instructions for angular and parallel alignment
until you obtain the permitted reading values.

do not vary by more than 0.002 in. (0.05 mm) as measured at four points 90° apart.
1. Set the angular and parallel dial indicators to zero at the left side of the driver coupling half
(Y), 90° from the top-center position (9 o'clock).
2. Rotate the indicators through the top-center position to the right side, 180° from the start
position (3 o'clock).
3. Record the indicator readings.
4. Make corrections according to the separate instructions for angular and parallel alignment
until you obtain the permitted reading values.

Grout the baseplate

Required equipment:
• Cleaners: Do not use an oil-based cleaner because the grout will not bond to it. See the
• Grout: Non-shrink grout is recommended.
NOTICE:
It is assumed that the installer who grouts the baseplate has knowledge of acceptable
methods. More detailed procedures are described in various publications, including API
Standard 610, 10th Edition, Appendix L; API RP 686, Chapter 5; and other industry standards.
1. Clean all the areas of the baseplate that will come into contact with the grout.

Then...
The driver coupling half (Y) is to the left of the
pump coupling half (X).
The driver coupling half (Y) is to the right of the
pump coupling half (X).
