TYPICAL EXAMPLE: P 2081 / 98 2. MODEL – CSR, followed by SIZE – Composed of three (3) groups of number. EXAMPLE: 4 x 3 x 11 – First number (4) is the ASA suction flange size in inches, second number (3) is the ASA discharge flange size in inches, the third number (11) is the nominal maximum impeller diameter in inches.
Installation | Receiving Pump | Storage | Location Setting Baseplate/Pedestal | Alignment Procedure INSTALLATION When installing the pump, consider its location in relation to the system to assure that sufficient Net RECEIVING PUMP Positive Suction Head (NPSH) at pump suction is provided.
Suction and Discharge Piping b) It is usually advisable to increase the size of When installing valves in the suction piping, both suction and discharge pipes at the pump observe the following precautions: connections to decrease the loss of heat from friction.
Discharge Piping | Stuffing Box EXTERNAL-INJECTION LIQUID-SEAL PIPING STUFFING BOX a) A tapped hole is supplied in the stuffing box Contaminants in the pumped liquid must not enter directly over the seal cage to introduce a clean, the stuffing box. These contaminants may cause clear sealing liquid.
Operation | Priming | Starting | Shutdown OPERATION 5. (Pumps moving high temperature liquids). Open the warm-up valve to circulate liquid for PRE-START CHECKS preheating. Close the valve after the pump is warmed up. Before initial start of the pump, make the following inspections: 6.
Maintenance Time Table MAINTENANCE GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND PERIODIC INSPECTION Operating conditions vary so widely that to recommend one schedule of preventative maintenance for all centrifugal pumps is not possible. Yet, some sort of regular inspection must be planned and followed. We suggest a permanent record be kept of the periodic inspections and maintenance performed on your pump.
Troubleshooting No liquid delivered CAUSES CURES 1. Lack of prime Fill pump and suction pipe completely with liquid. 2. Loss of prime Check for leaks in suction pipe joints and fittings; vent casing to remove accumulated air. 3. Suction lift too high If no obstruction at inlet, check for pipe friction losses.

Troubleshooting Not enough liquid delivered CAUSES CURES 17. Foot valve too small or partially Area through ports of valve should be at least as large as area obstructed of suction pipe, preferably 1½ times. If strainer is used, net clear area should be 3 to 4 times area of suction pipe. 18.
