PUMP DESCRIPTION NAMEPLATE INFORMATION RECEIVING THE PUMP PUMP DESCRIPTION with sleeve type journal bearings). When ball bearings are The Model TSMP is a high pressure, multi-stage, between used (standard), the outboard bearing (thrust bearing) is the bearings, horizontal centrifugal pump designed to meet shouldered and locked into place, thus enabling it to carry the rigorous demands of the petroleum and petrochemical both radial and axial thrust loads.
NAMEPLATE INFORMATION Our Pumps have a Truflo nameplate that provides all necessary pump information you will need to identify information about the pump. The nameplate is located on model, size, serial number, and the item number of the pump casing.
File any claims with the transportation company as soon as possible. STORAGE REQUIREMENTS Short Term (Less than 6 months) Truflo normal packaging procedure is designed to protect pump during shipping. Upon receipt, store in a covered and dry location.
BASEPLATE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Industry standard procedures, such as API RP 686/ PIP REIE 686, and/or the following procedure should be � followed prior to grouting the baseplate. The procedure CAUTION assumes the installer has a basic knowledge of baseplate and foundation design and installation methods.
Equipment mounting surfaces should be utilized to establish level. ALIGNMENT AND ALIGNMENT CRITERIA • After First Run -To obtain correct alignment when both pump and driver are at operating temperature. Alignment procedures must be followed to prevent Thereafter, alignment should be checked periodically in unintended contact of rotating parts.
Page 20
ALIGNMENT CRITERIA Good alignment is attained when readings as specified in this section have been achieved with pump and driver at operating temperatures (final alignment). Maximum allowable Total Indicator Reading (T.I.R.) for parallel and angular misalignment is .002 (0.05mm) for all Model TSMP pumps, regardless of the alignment method used.

b) Attach the other indicator so that the indicator rod comes into contact with the inner end of the driver's coupling half. This indicator is used to measure angular misalignment. Rotate the pump's coupling half to check that the indicators are in contact with the driver's coupling half but do not bottom out.
Page 23
Set the angular alignment indicator to zero on left side of the driver's coupling half, 90° from the top-center position (9 o’clock). Rotate the indicator through the top-center position to the right side, 180° from the start position (3 oClock) Record the indicator reading.

AUXILIARY PIPING FINAL PIPING CHECK After connecting the piping to pump: The mechanical seal must have an appropriate seal flush system. Failure to do so will result in excess heat generation and possible seal failure. Rotate shaft by hand to ensure it rotates smoothly and there is no rubbing which could lead to excess heat Cooling systems such as those for bearing generation and or sparks.

Well maintained equipment will last longer and require fewer repairs.
MAINTENANCE OF BEARINGS Do not insulate bearing housings as this can result in excess heat generation, sparks, and premature failure. RING OIL LUBRICATED BEARINGS Ring oil lubricated ball bearings are standard on Model TSMP pumps. High quality turbine oil with rust and oxidation inhibitors should be used.
PURE OR PURGE OIL MIST LUBRICATED BEARINGS (OPTIONAL) NOTE: Oil mist is recommended for use on ball bearing arrangements only (See Appendix I). The same oil requirements applicable to ring oil lubricated bearings also apply to oil mist lubricated bearings. The steps necessary for oil mist lubrication are as follows: Follow oil mist system supplier’s instructions.

INSTALLATION AND DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRUFLO ANSI B15.1/OSHA COUPLING GUARDS The coupling guard used in an ATEX classified environment must be constructed from a non- sparking material. If the coupling hub diameter is larger than the diameter of the opening in the end plate (234B), remove the coupling hub.
Page 61
The annular groove in the guard is located around the end plate as indicated in Fig. II-D. NOTE: Locate opening (flange) so that it will not interfere with piping but will allow access for installing bolts (Step 8). Spread opening of remaining coupling guard half (501B) slightly and place over installed coupling guard half so that annular groove in remaining coupling guard half faces the driver as indicated in Fig.
Page 62
Repeat steps 8-10 for rear end of coupling guard half (501B), except that nut should be finger tightened only. Adjust length of coupling guard to completely cover shafts and coupling as shown in Fig. II-H by sliding rear coupling guard half (501B) towards motor. Repeat steps 8-10 for center slots in coupling guard.
Page 64
Replace coupling guard before resuming normal operation of the pump. TRUFLO Pumps, Inc., assumes no liability for avoiding this practice. WARNING DO NOT resume normal pump operation with the coupling guard removed.
