Pipe connections The pipe work shall be installed and supported so that no pipe stresses are transferred to the pump body. The pipe forces and torque transferred to the pump shall be in accordance with ISO 14847. The pipe work should be tight in order to avoid leakage and infiltration of foreign particles and/or air.

Gauges Gauges for monitoring the pump’s working conditions are recommended. These gauges should be placed readable as close to the pumps in- and outlet flanges as possible. On the LPE Optiline standard pumps there are gauge connections for both in- and outlet. Fig.
Startup For pumps in explosion-hazard areas (→ ATEX additional instructions). Pressure testing and flushing The system must be flushed and pressure tested before connecting the pump. If corrosive liquid, such as water is used, the system must be thoroughly drained, dried and protected against corrosion after having been flushed.

Maintenance and Service For pumps in explosion-hazard areas (→ ATEX additional instructions). Introduction A screw pump from IMO is a quality product that is designed for a long problem free operation in tough environ- ments. As all other mechanical products they do however requires a certain grade of maintenance and service in order to guarantee a faultless and economic favourable operation.
Service intervals ATTENTION! In areas where permanent magnetic couplings are handled or The intervals for inspection and replacement of wear stored with open access, persons with parts vary greatly with the properties of the pumped liq- heart should keep a distance uid and can only be determined by experience.
