Nameplate And Safety Labels - Flowserve PolyChem GRP Series User Instructions

To avoid the potential hazard from random induced
current generating a spark, the baseplate must be
properly grounded.
Avoid electrostatic charge: do not rub non-metallic
surfaces with a dry cloth;
For ATEX, the coupling must be selected to comply
with 94/9/EC. Correct coupling alignment must be
maintained.
Additional requirement for metallic pumps on
non-metallic baseplates
When metallic components are fitted on a non-
metallic baseplate they must be individually earthed.
1.6.4.6 Preventing leakage
A pump with mechanical seal must only be
used to handle liquids for which it has been approved
to have the correct corrosion resistance.
Avoid entrapment of liquid in the pump and associated
piping due to closing of suction and discharge valves,
which could cause dangerous excessive pressures to
occur if there is heat input to the liquid. This can occur if
the pump is stationary or running.
Bursting of liquid containing parts due to freezing
must be avoided by draining or protecting the pump
and ancillary systems.
Where there is the potential hazard of a loss of a seal
barrier fluid or external flush, the fluid must be monitored.
If leakage of liquid to atmosphere can result in a
hazard, install a liquid detection device.
1.6.4.7 Maintenance to avoid the hazard
CORRECT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED TO
AVOID POTENTIAL HAZARDS WHICH GIVE A
RISK OF EXPLOSION
The responsibility for compliance with maintenance
instructions is with the plant operator.
To avoid potential explosion hazards during
maintenance, the tools, cleaning and painting
materials used must not give rise to sparking or
adversely affect the ambient conditions. Where there
is a risk from such tools or materials, maintenance
must be conducted in a safe area.
It is recommended that a maintenance plan and
schedule is adopted. (See section 6, Maintenance.)
