1.6 Safety

1.6.1 Summary of safety markings

These User Instructions contain specific safety
markings where non-observance of an instruction would
cause hazards. The specific safety markings are:

This symbol indicates electrical safety
instructions where non-compliance will involve a high
risk to personal safety or the loss of life.

This symbol indicates safety instructions where
non-compliance would affect personal safety and could
result in loss of life.

This symbol indicates “hazardous and toxic fluid”
safety instructions where non-compliance would affect
personal safety and could result in loss of life.

This symbol indicates safety instructions
where non-compliance will involve some risk to safe
operation and personal safety and would damage the
equipment or property.

safety requirements and applicable safety and health
laws and regulations.

1.6.3 Safety action

This is a summary of conditions and actions to help
prevent injury to personnel and damage to the
environment and to equipment. For products used
in potentially explosive atmospheres section 1.6.4
also applies.

NEVER DO MAINTENANCE WORK

WHEN THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO POWER

GUARDS MUST NOT BE REMOVED WHILE

THE PUMP IS OPERATIONAL

DRAIN THE PUMP AND ISOLATE PIPEWORK
BEFORE DISMANTLING THE PUMP
The appropriate safety precautions should be taken
where the pumped liquids are hazardous.

FLUORO-ELASTOMERS (When fitted.)
When a pump has experienced temperatures over
250 ºC (482 ºF), partial decomposition of fluoro­elastomers (example: Viton) will occur. In this
condition these are extremely dangerous and skin
contact must be avoided.

This symbol indicates explosive atmosphere zone
marking according to ATEX. It is used in safety
instructions where non-compliance in the hazardous
area would cause the risk of an explosion.

This symbol is used in safety instructions to
remind not to rub non-metallic surfaces with a dry
cloth; ensure the cloth is damp. It is used in safety
instructions where non-compliance in the hazardous
area would cause the risk of an explosion.

This sign is not a safety symbol but indicates

an important instruction in the assembly process.

1.6.2 Personnel qualification and training

All personnel involved in the operation, installation,
inspection and maintenance of the unit must be
qualified to carry out the work involved. If the personnel
in question do not already possess the necessary
knowledge and skill, appropriate training and instruction
must be provided. If required the operator may
commission the manufacturer/supplier to provide
applicable training.

Always coordinate repair activity with operations and
health and safety personnel, and follow all plant

HANDLING COMPONENTS
Many precision parts have sharp corners and the
wearing of appropriate safety gloves and equipment
is required when handling these components. To lift
heavy pieces above 25 kg (55 lb) use a crane
appropriate for the mass and in accordance with
current local regulations.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE
IMPELLER FROM THE STUBSHAFT; THEY ARE AN
INTEGRAL ITEM ON THIS PUMP.

HOT (and cold) PARTS
If hot or freezing components or auxiliary heating
supplies can present a danger to operators and
persons entering the immediate area action must be
taken to avoid accidental contact. If complete
protection is not possible, the machine access must
be limited to maintenance staff only, with clear visual
warnings and indicators to those entering the
immediate area. Note: bearing housings must not be
insulated and drive motors and bearings may be hot.

If the temperature is greater than 80 ºC (175 ºF) or
below -5 ºC (20 ºF) in a restricted zone, or exceeds
local regulations, action as above shall be taken.

Page 5 of 28 flowserve.com

CPXPM USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569160 09-09

THERMAL SHOCK
Rapid changes in the temperature of the liquid within
the pump can cause thermal shock, which can result
in damage or breakage of components and should be
avoided.

HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS
When the pump is handling hazardous liquids care
must be taken to avoid exposure to the liquid by
appropriate siting of the pump, limiting personnel
access and by operator training. If the liquid is
flammable and or explosive, strict safety procedures
must be applied.

PREVENT EXCESSIVE EXTERNAL
PIPE LOAD
Do not use pump as a support for piping. Do not mount
expansion joints, unless allowed by Flowserve in writing,
so that their force, due to internal pressure, acts on the
pump flange.

NEVER RUN THE PUMP DRY

ENSURE CORRECT LUBRICATION
(See section 5, Commissioning, startup, operation and
shutdown.)

START THE PUMP WITH OUTLET
VALVE PART OPENED
(Unless otherwise instructed at a specific point in the
User Instructions.)
This is recommended to minimize the risk of
overloading and damaging the pump or motor at full or
zero flow. Pumps may be started with the valve further
open only on installations where this situation cannot
occur. The pump outlet control valve may need to be
adjusted to comply with the duty following the run-up
process. (See section 5, Commissioning start-up,
operation and shutdown.)

INLET VALVES TO BE FULLY OPEN
WHEN PUMP IS RUNNING
Running the pump at zero flow or below the
recommended minimum flow continuously will cause
damage to the pump and mechanical seal.

1.6.4 Products used in potentially explosive
atmospheres

Measures are required to:

• Avoid excess temperature

• Prevent build up of explosive mixtures

• Prevent the generation of sparks

• Prevent leakages

• Maintain the pump to avoid hazard

The following instructions for pumps and pump units
when installed in potentially explosive atmospheres
must be followed to help ensure explosion protection.
For ATEX, both electrical and non-electrical equipment
must meet the requirements of European Directive
94/9/EC. Always observe the regional legal Ex
requirements eg Ex electrical items outside the EU may
be required Certified to other than ATEX eg IECEx, UL.

1.6.4.1 Scope of compliance

Use equipment only in the zone for which it is
appropriate. Always check that the driver, drive
coupling assembly, seal and pump equipment are
suitably rated and/or certified for the classification of the
specific atmosphere in which they are to be installed.

Where Flowserve has supplied only the bare shaft
pump, the Ex rating applies only to the pump. The
party responsible for assembling the ATEX pump set
shall select the driver and any additional equipment,
with the necessary CE Certificate/Declaration of
Conformity establishing it is suitable for the area in
which it is to be installed.

The output from a variable frequency drive (VFD) can
cause additional heating effects in the motor and so,
for pumps sets with a VFD, the ATEX Certification for
the motor must state that it is covers the situation
where electrical supply is from the VFD. This
particular requirement still applies even if the VFD is
in a safe area.

DO NOT RUN THE PUMP AT
ABNORMALLY HIGH OR LOW FLOW RATES
Operating at a flow rate higher than normal or at a flow
rate with no back pressure on the pump may overload
the motor and cause cavitation. Low flow rates may
cause a reduction in pump/bearing life, overheating of
the pump, instability and cavitation/vibration.

CPXPM USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569160 09-09

1.6.4.2 Marking

An example of ATEX equipment marking is shown
below. The actual classification of the pump will be
engraved on the nameplate.

Maximum surface temperature (Temperature Class)

(see section 1.6.4.3.)

1.6.4.3 Avoiding excessive surface temperatures

ENSURE THE EQUIPMENT TEMPERATURE

CLASS IS SUITABLE FOR THE HAZARD ZONE
Pumps have a temperature class as stated in the

ATEX Ex rating on the nameplate. These are based
on a maximum ambient of 40 ºC (104 ºF); refer to
Flowserve for higher ambient temperatures.

The surface temperature on the pump is influenced
by the temperature of the liquid handled. The
maximum permissible liquid temperature depends on
the temperature class and must not exceed the
values in the table that follows.

The temperature rise at the seals and bearings and
due to the minimum permitted flow rate is taken into
account in the temperatures stated.

275 °C (527 °F) *
400 °C (752 °F) *

The responsibility for compliance with the
specified maximum liquid temperature is with the
plant operator.

Temperature classification “Tx” is used when the liquid
temperature varies and when the pump is required to be
used in differently classified potentially explosive
atmospheres. In this case the user is responsible for
ensuring that the pump surface temperature does not
exceed that permitted in its actual installed location.

Do not attempt to check the direction of rotation with
the coupling element/pins fitted due to the risk of
severe contact between rotating and stationary
components.

Where there is any risk of the pump being run against a
closed valve generating high liquid and casing external
surface temperatures it is recommended that users fit
an external surface temperature protection device.

Where the system operation does not ensure control of
priming, as defined in the User Instructions, and the
maximum permitted surface temperature of the T Class
could be exceeded it is recommended that users fit an
external surface temperature protection device.

Avoid mechanical, hydraulic or electrical overload by
using motor overload trips, temperature monitor or a
power monitor and make routine vibration monitoring
checks.

In dirty or dusty environments, regular checks must
be made and dirt removed from areas around close
clearances, bearing housings and motors.

1.6.4.4 Preventing the build up of explosive
mixtures

ENSURE THE PUMP IS PROPERLY FILLED

AND VENTED AND DOES NOT RUN DRY
Ensure the pump and relevant suction and discharge

pipeline system is totally filled with liquid at all times
during the pump operation, so that an explosive
atmosphere is prevented. In addition it is essential to
make sure that seal chambers, auxiliary shaft seal
systems and any heating and cooling systems are
properly filled.

If the operation of the system cannot avoid this
condition the fitting of an appropriate dry run
protection device is recommended (for example liquid
detection or a power monitor).

To avoid potential hazards from fugitive emissions of
vapour or gas to atmosphere the surrounding area
must be well ventilated.

Page 7 of 28 flowserve.com

CPXPM USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569160 09-09

1.6.4.5 Preventing sparks

To avoid the potential hazard from random
induced current generating a spark, the earth contact
on the baseplate must be used.

Avoid electrostatic charge: do not rub non-metallic

surfaces with a dry cloth; ensure cloth is damp.

1.6.4.6 Preventing leakage

The pump 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, the installation of a liquid detection device is
recommended.

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.)

1.7 Nameplate and safety labels

1.7.1 Nameplate

For details of nameplate, see the Declaration of
Conformity, or separate documentation included with

these User Instructions.

1.7.2 Safety labels

1.8 Specific machine performance

For performance parameters see section 1.5, Duty
conditions. Where performance data has been supplied

separately to the purchaser these should be obtained
and retained with these User Instructions if required.

1.9 Noise level

Attention must be given to the exposure of personnel
to the noise, and local legislation will define when
guidance to personnel on noise limitation is required,
and when noise exposure reduction is mandatory.
This is typically 80 to 85 dBA.

The usual approach is to control the exposure time to
the noise or to enclose the machine to reduce emitted
sound. You may have already specified a limiting
noise level when the equipment was ordered,
however if no noise requirements were defined, then
attention is drawn to the following table to give an
indication of equipment noise level so that you can
take the appropriate action in your plant.

Pump noise level is dependent on a number of
operational factors, flow rate, pipework design and
acoustic characteristics of the building, and so the
values given are subject to a 3 dBA tolerance and
cannot be guaranteed.

Similarly the motor noise assumed in the “pump and
motor” noise is that typically expected from standard
and high efficiency motors when on load directly driving
the pump. Note that a motor driven by an inverter may
show an increased noise at some speeds.

If a pump unit only has been purchased for fitting with
your own driver then the “pump only” noise levels in the
table should be combined with the level for the driver
obtained from the supplier. Consult Flowserve or a noise
specialist if assistance is required in combining the values.

disposed of safely and that the correct personal
protective equipment is used. The safety
specifications must be in accordance with the current
regulations at all times.

3 DESCRIPTION

3.1 Configurations

The pump is a modular designed centrifugal pump
that can be built to achieve almost all chemical liquid
pumping requirements. (See 3.2 and 3.3 below.)

3.2 Name nomenclature

The pump size will be engraved on the nameplate
typically as below:

40-40CPXPM200

Nominal suction size (mm)
Nominal discharge size (mm)
Configuration – see 3.3 below
Nominal ISO maximum impeller diameter

The typical nomenclature above is the general guide
to the CPXPM configuration description. Identify the
actual pump size and serial number from the pump
nameplate. Check that this agrees with the
applicable certification provided.

3.3 Design of major parts

3.3.1 Pump casing

The pump uses the CPXP casing in a CPXM close
coupled arrangement. This casing is designed with a
self priming action working on the reflux principle for
suction lifts up to 7 m (23 ft), depending on size,
speed and fluid. It has a horizontal inlet and a
vertical centreline top outlet which is self venting.

For ease of maintenance, the pump is constructed so
that pipe connectors do not have to be disturbed
when internal maintenance is required.

3.3.2 Impeller/stubshaft

An open impeller with integral stubshaft is fitted.

3.3.3 Adjustment stud

The adjustment stud is screwed into the end of the
motor shaft. Adjustment of impeller front clearance is
achieved by rotating the stubshaft on this stud.

3.3.4 Muff coupling

The muff coupling is investment cast in two halves
(WCB steel). Notches at 30 degree increments around
the circumference of the coupling assist in setting the
impeller face clearance.

3.3.5 Pump bearings and lubrication

The pump uses the motor bearings to support and
position the pump shaft. See motor instruction book
for lubrication details.

3.3.6 Seal housing

The seal housing spigots into the pump casing and
bracket for optimum concentricity.

A fully confined gasket forms the seal between the
pump casing and the seal housing.

The seal housing designs provide improved
performance of mechanical seals.

The design enables one of a number of sealing
options to be fitted.

3.3.7 Shaft seal

The mechanical seal(s) attached to the stubshaft seals
the pumped liquid from the environment.

3.3.8 Driver

The driver is a close-coupled electric motor featuring
bearing location. This provides positive rotor assembly
location to limit axial movement and allow accurate
impeller setting.

A wide range of electric motors have been tested and
approved for use with CPXPM units. The table lists
acceptable motors and indicates whether the standard
motors are approved or if a modification is required.

The position of the terminal box can be changed by
rotating the complete motor. To do this on motor frames
80 and 90, remove the fasteners from the motor flange,
rotate the motor and re-fit the fasteners. For motor
frames 100 and above, with multi-positioned feet, also
unbolt the feet and refit in the appropriate position.

3.3.9 Accessories

Accessories may be fitted when specified by the
customer.

3.4 Performance and operating limits

This product has been selected to meet the
specifications of the purchase order. See section 1.5.

The following data is included as additional
information to help with your installation. It is typical,
and factors such as temperature, materials, and seal
type may influence this data. If required, a definitive
statement for your particular application can be
obtained from Flowserve.

3.4.1 Operating limits

3.4.1.1 Temperature limits of working fluids

Horizontal units: -20 ºC (-4 ºF) to +160 ºC (320 ºF).
(These limits subject to approved mechanical seal
area design.)

3.4.1.2 Ambient temperature

These units are normally fitted with TEFC motors
suitable for an ambient temperature up to 40 ºC
(104 ºF). Specific pumps may be fitted with motors to
suit client's requirements with other ambient
temperature limits - see motor nameplate for details.

4 INSTALLATION

4.1 Location

The pump should be located to allow room for access,
ventilation, maintenance and inspection with ample
headroom for lifting and should be as close as
practicable to the supply of liquid to be pumped. Refer
to the general arrangement drawing for the pump set.

4.2 Part assemblies

These pumps are not normally supplied in part
assemblies but special accessories such as loose
orifice plates are supplied loose. Ensure these are
incorporated in the final installation.

4.3 Foundation

There are many methods of installing
pump units to their foundations. The correct method
depends on the size of the pump unit, its location and
noise and vibration limitations. Non-compliance with
the provision of correct foundation and installation
may lead to failure of the pump and, as such, would
be outside the terms of the warranty.

Where a baseplate is used, it should be mounted onto
a firm foundation, either an appropriate thickness of
quality concrete or sturdy steel framework. It should
be packed or shimmed underneath to avoid distortion

Equipment operated in hazardous locations
must comply with the relevant explosion protection
regulations. See section 1.6.4, Products used in

potentially explosive atmospheres.

when pulled down onto the surface of the foundation.
Where supplied, install the baseplate onto packing

pieces evenly spaced and adjacent to foundation bolts.

Page 11 of 28 flowserve.com

CPXPM USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569160 09-09

Level with shims between baseplate and packing
pieces.

If the pump is being directly mounted onto a plinth, it
is only necessary to bolt down the pump foot.

Units fitted with 80 or 90 frame size motors require
bolting down at the pump end only. It is recommended
that bolts (not studs) are used to hold down the pump
feet to permit easy removal from the pipework.

Do not distort the pump when tightening the holding
down bolts. Use shims under the motor feet as
necessary.

All units should be securely bolted down at the pump
casing. In addition, the motor (frames 100 and
above) should be supported under its feet with metal
packing strips.

It is not necessary to bolt the motor to the foundation.
However, to simplify maintenance, it is important that
any packing strips are bolted to the motor feet. This
is so that the motor, complete with packing strips, can
be slipped back along its foundation to gain access to
the rotating element. It is important to bolt down the
pump casing first. The motor should then be packed
or shimmed to support its weight, but it should not put
any undue strain onto the pump casing. (It is not
necessary to support frame 80 and 90 motors.)

These close coupled pumps feature a
back pull-out design. This means that when correctly
installed, the rotating element can be withdrawn from
the casing without disturbing the system pipework.
The use of grouted-in studs to secure the motor feet
prevents back pull-out and will make maintenance
more difficult and time consuming. The procedures in
the above paragraphs should be followed in order to
obtain the maximum benefit from the pump design.

4.4 Grouting

Where applicable, grout in the foundation bolts.
After adding pipework connections the baseplate, if used,

should be grouted in accordance with good engineering
practice. Folded steel baseplates should be grouted to

locate their packing pieces. If in any doubt please
contact your nearest Flowserve service centre for advice.

Grouting provides solid contact between the pump unit
and foundation, prevents lateral movement of vibrating
equipment and dampens resonant vibrations.

4.5 Piping

Protective covers are fitted to the pipe
connections to prevent foreign bodies entering during
transportation and installation. Ensure that these covers
are removed from the pump before connecting any pipes.

4.5.1 Suction and discharge pipework

Take into account the available NPSH which must be
higher than the required NPSH of the pump.

Never use pump as a support for piping.
Maximum forces and moments allowed on the pump

flanges vary with the pump size and type. To minimize
these forces and moments that may, if excessive, cause
misalignment, hot bearings, worn couplings, vibration
and the possible failure of the pump casing, the
following points should be strictly followed:

• Prevent excessive external pipe load

• Never draw piping into place by applying force to

pump flange connections

• Do not mount expansion joints so that their force,

due to internal pressure, acts on the pump flange

The delivery pipework must permit priming air to
escape unhindered from the pump during the priming
cycle, without back pressure and prevent excessive
run-back of liquid on shutdown to minimise syphoning.

Priming air may be vented in one of the following ways:

1) The discharge pipework regulating valve, if fitted,

may be partly opened during the priming cycle to
freely vent the air.

2) An automatic air release valve may be fitted to the

discharge pipework, between the pump and any
valves, providing that gases and vapours given off
are environmentally safe and acceptable for
release into the atmosphere.

3) An air bleed pipe may be run from the discharge

pipework, between the pump and any valves,
back to the suction tank or sump. This
arrangement has a disadvantage in that normal
manual/automatic control will be necessary
during operation in order to prevent continuous
re-circulation of the pumped liquid.

Ensure piping and fittings are flushed
before use.

Page 12 of 28 flowserve.com

CPXPM USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569160 09-09

Ensure piping for hazardous liquids is arranged

to allow pump flushing before removal of the pump.

4.5.2 Suction piping

a) The inlet pipe should be as short as possible, airtight

and the smallest volume as practical for the pump
flow rate.

b) It is recommended that the pump inlet pipe is no

larger than the pump inlet bore or such that the
suction velocity is in the range of 3 to 5 m/sec
(10 to 16 ft/sec). The piping should be inclined up
towards the pump inlet.

c) Allow a minimum of two pipe diameters of straight

section between the elbow and inlet flange.

d) Fitting isolation and non-return valves will allow

easier maintenance.

e) Never throttle pump on suction side and never

place a valve directly on the pump inlet nozzle.

4.5.3 Discharge piping

a) In order to minimize friction losses and hydraulic

noise in the pipework it is good practice to choose
pipework that is one or two sizes larger than the
pump discharge. Typically main pipework velocities
should not exceed 3 m/s (9 ft/sec) on the discharge.

b) If a non-return valve is located in the discharge

pipework then a vent/bleed pipe should be fitted from
the discharge pipe back to the sump or source tank.

c) A regulating valve should be fitted in the discharge

pipework unless pump flow is controlled by the
delivery system design.

4.5.4 Flange loads

The permissible flange loading is dependent on a
number of factors such as dimensions, flange rating,
pressure, temperature, material, pump configuration etc.

When requested the permissible flange loading will
have been supplied separately to the purchaser and
should be obtained and retained with this manual. If in
doubt contact Flowserve for information.

4.5.5 Auxiliary piping

Single seals requiring re-circulation will normally be
provided with the auxiliary piping from pump casing
already fitted.

Flowserve seal connections are designated as follows:
Q - quench
F - flush
D - drain outlet
BI - barrier fluid in (double seals)
BO - barrier fluid out (double seals)
H - heating jacket

Seal housings/covers having an auxiliary quench
connection, require connection to a suitable source of
liquid flow, low pressure steam or static pressure from
a header tank. Recommended pressure is 0.35 bar
(5 psi) or less. Check General arrangement drawing.

Double seals require a barrier liquid between the
seals, compatible with the pumped liquid.

With back-to-back double seals, the barrier liquid
should be at a minimum pressure of 1 bar (14.5 psi)
above the maximum pressure on the pump side of
the inner seal. (See chart.) The barrier liquid
pressure must not exceed limitations of the seal on
the atmospheric side. For toxic service the barrier
liquid supply and discharge must be in a safe area.

Special seals may require modification to auxiliary
piping described above. Consult Flowserve if unsure
of correct method or arrangement.

For pumping hot liquids, to avoid seal damage, it is
recommended that any external flush/cooling supply
be continued after stopping the pump.

Seal chamber pressure v generated head:

Mechanical seal

Use seal manufacturer's limits or ask seal

manufacturer to verify seal pressure

The connections that are to be piped
up will have been fitted with protective metal or
plastic plugs which will need to be removed.

4.5.5.1 Pumps fitted with mechanical seals

The conical design of the single internal seal housing
provides excellent liquid circulation around the seal and
will not normally require a separate flush.

Page 13 of 28 flowserve.com

CPXPM USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569160 09-09

Notes:

a) Total seal pressure is equal to pressure at seal plus suction

pressure.

b) Differential pressure in bar equals head in metres multiplied by

specific gravity all divided by 10.19.

4.5.5.2 Pumps fitted with heating jackets

Connect the heating pipes from the site supply. The top
connection should be used as the outlet to ensure
complete filling/venting of the annulus with
heating/cooling liquids. Steam is usually in at the top,
out at the bottom to permit condensate drainage.

4.5.5 Final checks

After connecting piping to the pump, rotate the shaft
several times by applying gentle pressure on the motor
fan to ensure there is no binding and all parts are free.

Check the tightness of all bolts in the suction and
discharge pipework. Check also the tightness of all
foundation bolts.

4.6 Electrical connections

Electrical connections must be made
by a qualified Electrician in accordance with relevant
local national and international regulations.

It is important to be aware of the EUROPEAN
DIRECTIVE on potentially explosive areas where
compliance with IEC60079-14 is an additional
requirement for making electrical connections.

It is important to be aware of the EUROPEAN
DIRECTIVE on electromagnetic compatibility when
wiring up and installing equipment on site. Attention
must be paid to ensure that the techniques used during
wiring/installation do not increase electromagnetic
emissions or decrease the electromagnetic immunity of
the equipment, wiring or any connected devices. If in
any doubt contact Flowserve for advice.

The motor must be wired up in
accordance with the motor manufacturer's
instructions (normally supplied within the terminal
box) including any temperature, earth leakage,
current and other protective devices as appropriate.
The identification nameplate should be checked to
ensure the power supply is appropriate.

A device to provide emergency stopping must

be fitted.
If not supplied pre-wired to the pump unit, the

controller/starter electrical details will also be supplied
within the controller/starter.

For electrical details on pump sets with controllers
see the separate wiring diagram.

See section 5.4, Direction of rotation

before connecting the motor to the electrical supply.

4.7 Protection systems

The following protection systems are
recommended particularly if the pump is installed in a
potentially explosive area or is handling a hazardous
liquid. If in any doubt consult Flowserve.

If there is any possibility of the system allowing the
pump to run against a closed valve or below
minimum continuous safe flow a protection device
should be installed to ensure the temperature of the
liquid does not rise to an unsafe level.

If there are any circumstances in which the system
can allow the pump to run dry, or start up empty, a
power monitor should be fitted to stop the pump or
prevent it from being started. This is particularly
relevant if the pump is handling a flammable liquid.

If leakage of product from the pump or its associated
sealing system can cause a hazard it is
recommended that an appropriate leakage detection
system is installed.

To prevent excessive surface temperatures at
bearings it is recommended that temperature or
vibration monitoring are carried out.

5 COMMISSIONING, START-UP,
OPERATION AND SHUTDOWN

These operations must be carried

out by fully qualified personnel.

5.1 Pre-commissioning procedure

5.1.1 Lubrication

Electric motors are supplied pre-greased and are
normally sealed for life. If in doubt, refer to motor
instruction manual.

5.2 Open impeller clearance

The impeller clearance is set in the factory. This may
require adjustment because of piping attachment or
increase in temperatures. For setting instructions see
section 6.7, Setting impeller clearance.

Page 14 of 28 flowserve.com

CPXPM USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569160 09-09

5.3 Direction of rotation

Briefly run or jog the motor and observe
the direction of rotation of the coupling or motor fan.
Ensure the pump is given the same direction of rotation
as the pump direction arrow on the bracket.

If maintenance work has been carried
out to the site's electricity supply, the direction of
rotation should be re-checked as above in case the
supply phasing has been altered.

5.4 Guarding

Guarding is supplied fitted to the pump set. If
this has been removed or disturbed ensure that all the
protective guards are securely refitted.

5.5 Priming and auxiliary supplies

5.5.1 Filling and priming

Fill the pump with liquid to be pumped,
or compatible liquid, via the filling plug, before starting
continuous duty operation.

5.5.2 Auxiliary supplies

Ensure all electrical, hydraulic,
pneumatic, sealant and lubrication systems (as
applicable) are connected and operational.

5.6 Starting the pump

a) Ensure flushing and or cooling/

heating liquid supplies are turned ON, before

starting pump.
b) Partially close the outlet valve.
c) OPEN all inlet valves.

d) Prime the pump. (See section

5.5.1.) The pump casing must initially be filled

with compatible liquid before starting the unit.
e) Damage will occur if the pump is run dry or for

prolonged periods with no incoming liquid.
f) Subsequent filling should not be necessary unless

the pump has been emptied or drained of fluid.
g) Start the motor and, if no specific provision has

been made in the delivery pipework for evacuating

the primed air, open the delivery valve by

approximately 10% to allow priming air to escape.
h) Check outlet pressure.
i) If the pressure is satisfactory, slowly OPEN the

outlet valve until at the duty flow.
j) It is recommended that the priming time is noted.

Priming times in excess of 5 minutes will indicate

a pump or system fault. Any noticeable

increases in priming time on subsequent starts

will also indicate a fault. Irregular use could lead

to the danger of 'evaporation' of the priming fluid.
k) Do not run the pump with the outlet

valve closed for a period longer than 30 seconds.
l) If the pump has to self prime the system it may

take a short time before the outlet is pressurized.
m) If NO pressure, or LOW pressure, STOP the

pump. Refer to section 7, Faults; causes and

remedies for fault diagnosis.

5.7 Running the pump

5.7.1 Pumps fitted with mechanical seal

Mechanical seals require no adjustment. Any slight
initial leakage will stop when the seal is run in.

Before pumping dirty liquids it is advisable, if possible, to
run the pump in using clean liquid to safeguard the seal
face.

External flush or quench should be
started before the pump is run and allowed to flow for a
period after the pump has stopped.

Page 15 of 28 flowserve.com

CPXPM USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569160 09-09

Never run a mechanical seal dry,

even for a short time.

5.7.2 Normal vibration levels, alarm and trip

For guidance, pumps generally fall under a classification
for rigid support machines within the International
rotating machinery standards and the recommended
maximum levels below are based on those standards.

Alarm and trip values for installed
pumps should be based on the actual measurements
(N) taken on the pump in the fully commissioned as
new condition. Measuring vibration at regular
intervals will then show any deterioration in pump or
system operating conditions.

recommended that they are run alternately every week.

5.8 Stopping and shutdown

a) Close the outlet valve, but ensure

that the pump runs in this condition for no more

than a few seconds.
b) Stop the pump.
c) Switch off flushing and or cooling/heating liquid

supplies at a time appropriate to the process.
d) For prolonged shut-downs and

especially when ambient temperatures are likely

to drop below freezing point, the pump and any

cooling and flushing arrangements must be

drained or otherwise protected.

5.9 Hydraulic, mechanical and electrical
duty

This product has been supplied to meet the performance
specifications of your purchase order, however it is
understood that during the life of the product these may
change. The following notes may help the user decide
how to evaluate the implications of any change. If in
doubt contact your nearest Flowserve office.

5.9.1 Specific gravity (SG)

Pump capacity and total head in metres (feet) do not
change with SG, however pressure displayed on a
pressure gauge is directly proportional to SG. Power
absorbed is also directly proportional to SG. It is
therefore important to check that any change in SG
will not overload the pump driver or over-pressurize
the pump.

5.9.2 Viscosity

For a given flow rate the total head reduces with
increased viscosity and increases with reduced
viscosity. Also for a given flow rate the power
absorbed increases with increased viscosity, and
reduces with reduced viscosity. It is important that
checks are made with your nearest Flowserve office if
changes in viscosity are planned.

5.9.3 Pump speed

Changing pump speed effects flow, total head, power
absorbed, NPSHR, noise and vibration. Flow varies in
direct proportion to pump speed, head varies as speed
ratio squared and power varies as speed ratio cubed.
The new duty, however, will also be dependent on the
system curve.

If increasing the speed, it is important therefore to
ensure the maximum pump working pressure is not
exceeded, the driver is not overloaded, NPSHA >
NPSHR, and that noise and vibration are within local
requirements and regulations.

5.9.4 Net positive suction head (NPSHA)

NPSH available (NPSHA) is a measure of the head
available in the pumped liquid, above its vapour
pressure, at the pump suction branch.

NPSH required (NPSHR) is a measure of the head
required in the pumped liquid, above its vapour
pressure, to prevent the pump from cavitating. It is
important that NPSHA > NPSHR. The margin between
NPSHA > NPSHR should be as large as possible.

If any change in NPSHA is proposed, ensure these
margins are not significantly eroded. Refer to the
pump performance curve to determine exact
requirements particularly if flow has changed.

Page 16 of 28 flowserve.com

CPXPM USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569160 09-09

If in doubt please consult your nearest Flowserve
office for advice and details of the minimum allowable
margin for your application.

5.9.5 Pumped flow

Flow must not fall outside the minimum and
maximum continuous safe flow shown on the pump
performance curve and or data sheet.

6 MAINTENANCE

6.1 General

It is the plant operator's responsibility to ensure
that all maintenance, inspection and assembly work
is carried out by authorized and qualified personnel
who have adequately familiarized themselves with
the subject matter by studying this manual in detail.
(See also section 1.6.2.)

Any work on the machine must be performed when it
is at a standstill. It is imperative that the procedure
for shutting down the machine is followed, as
described in section 5.8.

On completion of work all guards and safety devices
must be re-installed and made operative again.

Before restarting the machine, the relevant
instructions listed in section 5, Commissioning, start
up, operation and shut down must be observed.

Oil and grease leaks may make the ground
slippery. Machine maintenance must always
begin and finish by cleaning the ground and the
exterior of the machine.

If platforms, stairs and guard rails are required for
maintenance, they must be placed for easy access to
areas where maintenance and inspection are to be
carried out. The positioning of these accessories
must not limit access or hinder the lifting of the part to
be serviced.

When air or compressed inert gas is used in the
maintenance process, the operator and anyone in the
vicinity must be careful and have the appropriate
protection.

Do not spray air or compressed inert gas on skin.
Do not direct an air or gas jet towards other people.

Never use air or compressed inert gas to clean
clothes.

Before working on the pump, take measures to
prevent an uncontrolled start. Put a warning board
on the starting device with the words:
"Machine under repair: do not start".

With electric drive equipment, lock the main switch
open and withdraw any fuses. Put a warning board
on the fuse box or main switch with the words:
"Machine under repair: do not connect".

Never clean equipment with inflammable solvents or
carbon tetrachloride. Protect yourself against toxic
fumes when using cleaning agents.

6.2 Maintenance schedule

It is recommended that a maintenance plan and
schedule is adopted, in line with these User
Instructions, to include the following:
a) Any auxiliary systems installed must be monitored,

if necessary, to ensure they function correctly.

b) Check for any leaks from gaskets and seals.

The correct functioning of the shaft seal must be
checked regularly.

c) Check that the duty condition is in the safe

operating range for the pump.

d) Check vibration, noise level and surface temperature

at the bearings to confirm satisfactory operation.

e) Check dirt and dust is removed from areas around

close clearances, bearing housings and motors.

Our specialist service personnel can help with
preventative maintenance records and provide
condition monitoring for temperature and vibration to
identify the onset of potential problems.

If any problems are found the following sequence of
actions should take place:
a) Refer to section 7, Faults; causes and remedies,

for fault diagnosis.

b) Ensure equipment complies with the

recommendations in this manual.

c) Contact Flowserve if the problem persists.

6.2.1 Routine inspection (daily/weekly)

The following checks should be made
and the appropriate action taken to remedy any
deviations:
a) Check operating behaviour. Ensure noise,

vibration and bearing temperatures are normal.

b) Check that there are no abnormal fluid or

lubricant leaks (static and dynamic seals) and
that any sealant systems (if fitted) are full and
operating normally.

Page 17 of 28 flowserve.com

CPXPM USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569160 09-09

c) Check that shaft seal leaks are within acceptable

limits.

d) Check any auxiliary supplies eg heating/cooling

need replacement.

6.3 Spare parts

6.3.1 Ordering of spares

Flowserve keeps records of all pumps that have been
supplied. When ordering spares the following
information should be quoted.

1) Pump serial number.

2) Pump size.

3) Part name – taken from section 8.

4) Part number – taken from section 8.

5) Number of parts required.

The pump size and serial number are shown on the
pump nameplate.

To ensure continued satisfactory operation, replacement
parts to the original design specification should be
obtained from Flowserve. Any change to the original
design specification (modification or use of a non­standard part) will invalidate the pump’s safety
certification.

6.3.2 Storage of spares

Spares should be stored in a clean dry area away
from vibration. Inspection and re-treatment of
metallic surfaces (if necessary) with preservative is
recommended at 6 monthly intervals.

6.7 Setting impeller clearance

This procedure may be required after the pump has
been dismantled or a different clearance is required.

Before carrying out this procedure ensure that the
mechanical seal(s) fitted can tolerate a change in
their axial setting, otherwise it will be necessary to
dismantle the unit and reset the seal axial position
after adjusting the impeller clearance.

a) If a cartridge seal is fitted loosen it from the shaft.
b) Disconnect the muff coupling and clean up the

bores.

c) Clean motor shaft and stubshaft and deburr

where necessary.

d) Replace muff coupling, ensuring that the

grubscrew locates in the stubshaft.

e) The motor end coupling bolts should be slacker

than the pump end coupling bolts so that the
coupling and stubshaft can be rotated relative to
the motor shaft.

f) The motor shaft should be prevented from

rotating by using a C-spanner located in the
keyway (where possible) or by locking the fan
end of the motor.

g) Rotate the coupling until the impeller contacts the

pump casing. This is the zero clearance position
or datum for setting the front clearance.

h) Mark the bracket with a pen and, whilst preventing

the motor shaft rotating, turn the coupling in the
opposite direction by the recommended number of
notches as indicated in the table. For the
remaining steps, take care not to rotate the pump
shaft relative to the motor shaft.

i) Carefully loosen and back off the grubscrew and

tighten the coupling bolts, ensuring that the gap
is equal between the coupling halves.

k) Check that the shaft can turn freely without binding.
l) If a cartridge seal is fitted it should be reset at this

point.

6.8 Disassembly

Refer to Safety section before dismantling the

pump.

Before dismantling the pump for
overhaul, ensure genuine Flowserve replacement
parts are available.

Refer to sectional drawings for part numbers and
identification. See section 8, Parts lists and drawings.

6.8.1 General

a) Close suction and discharge valves and drain

liquid from the pump.

b) Remove screws from pump casing and pull motor

complete with rotating assembly from back of
pump casing, which will be left connected in

position in the pipework.
c) Unclip the coupling guards.
d) Take out the muff coupling screws and remove

coupling.

6.8.2 Pumps with single seals

a) Prevent the motor shaft from rotating.
b) Carefully rotate the impeller in an anti-clockwise

rotation, whilst supporting the impeller, until it

releases from the adjustment stud. Take care

not to damage the seal.

the bracket.

b) Carefully rotate the impeller in an anti-clockwise

direction whilst supporting the impeller and seal
housing. The integral impeller and stub shaft
combined with the seal housing will release from
the unit as a sub-assembly. (Large pump sizes
have a tapped hole for fitting a lifting eye to assist
with this procedure.)

c) Remove the nuts from the seal cover to gain

access to the seals. Release the tension in the
mechanical seals.

d) The seal manufacturer's instructions should be

followed for dismantling and assembling the seal.

e) The mounting bracket can now be removed from

the motor after first removing the fixing screws.

f) The adjustment stud in the motor shaft can be

removed using two M 8 nuts.

6.9 Examination of parts

Used parts must be inspected before
assembly to ensure the pump will subsequently run
properly. In particular, fault diagnosis is essential to
enhance pump and plant reliability.

6.9.1 Casing, seal housing and integral impeller/
stubshaft assembly

Inspect for excessive wear, pitting, corrosion, erosion
or damage and any sealing surface irregularities.
Replace as necessary.

6.9.2 Integral impeller/stubshaft

Replace if the shaft is grooved or pitted or if the
impeller vanes are eroded or damaged.

6.9.3 Gaskets

After dismantling, discard and replace. (If the pump
seal arrangement has a lip seal, it should be replaced
at overhaul.)

6.9.4 Motor

Check the motor shaft for free rotation and absence
of bearing noise or shaft 'float'. If necessary, have
the motor serviced by a specialist or replace with a
Flowserve approved type.

6.10 Assembly

To assemble the pump consult the sectional
drawings. See section 8, Parts lists and drawings.

Ensure threads, gasket and O-ring mating faces are
clean. Apply thread sealant to non-face sealing pipe
thread fittings.

6.10.1 General

a) The motor shaft keyway is not used but remove

any burrs from the edge of the keyway, the motor
and pump shafts and the coupling.

b) Screw the adjustment stud into the motor shaft

and tighten with the two M 8 nuts or a stud box.

c) Locate the bracket on the motor spigot and

tighten the screws (or studs and nuts).

d) Whilst re-assembling, use new joints/gaskets and

ensure they are in their correct positions.

e) Small amounts of grease may be used to hold

the joints in position during assembly.

6.10.2 Seal housing and seal assembly

a) Extreme cleanliness is required.
b) The sealing faces and shaft surface must be free
