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
NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT
THE COUPLING GUARD AND ALL OTHER
SAFETY DEVICES CORRECTLY INSTALLED
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.
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.
HIGH MAGNETIC FIELDS
Great care should be taken when assembling/
dismantling magnetic rotors, where fitted, because
of the very high forces which can be created by the
magnets.
Persons with pacemakers and any instrumentation
etc sensitive to magnetic fields should be kept well
away from the magnetic drive unit during
dismantling.
THERMAL SHOCK
Rapid changes in the temperature of the liquid within
the pump can cause thermal shock, which can result
Page 5 of 48 flowserve.com
Page 6
CPXS, CPXNS and CPXPS USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569250 07-11
in damage or breakage of components and should be
avoided.
NEVER APPLY HEAT TO REMOVE IMPELLER
Trapped lubricant or vapour could cause an explosion.
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.
bearing housings must not be insulated and
drive motors and bearings may be hot.
If the temperature is greater than 80 ºC (175ºF) or
below -5 ºC (23 ºF) in a restricted zone, or exceeds
local regulations, action as above shall be taken.
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.)
ONLY CHECK DIRECTION OF
MOTOR ROTATION WITH COUPLING SPACER
PIECE REMOVED
Starting in reverse direction of rotation will damage the
pump.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
DESIGN PRESSURE (MDP) AT THE WORKING
TEMPERATURE OF THE PUMP NAMEPLATE
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.
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.
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.

Temperature class
Temperature class
Where Flowserve has supplied only the bare shaft
pump, the Ex rating applies only to the pump. The party
responsible for assembling the ATEX set shall select the
coupling, 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. On
pumps sets controlled by 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.
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.

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 bearings and due to the
minimum permitted flow rate is taken into account in
the temperatures stated.

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.
Avoid mechanical, hydraulic or electrical overload by
using motor overload trips, temperature monitors or
a power monitor and make routine vibration
monitoring checks.
In dirty or dusty environments, make regular checks
and remove dirt from areas around close
clearances, bearing housings and motors.
Where there is any risk of the pump being run against
a closed valve generating high liquid and casing
external surface temperatures fit an external surface
temperature protection device.
Do not attempt to check the direction of rotation with
the coupling spacer fitted due to the risk of severe
contact between rotating and stationary components.

CPXS, CPXNS and CPXPS USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569250 07-11
Additional requirements for CPXPS pumps only
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, the user shall fit an external surface
temperature protection device.
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 any heating and cooling systems are
properly filled.
If the operation of the system cannot avoid this
condition, fit an appropriate dry run protection device
(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.
1.6.4.5 Preventing sparks
To prevent a potential hazard from mechanical
contact, the coupling guard must be non-sparking fro
category 2 equipment.
To avoid the potential hazard from random induced
current generating a spark, the baseplate must be
properly grounded.
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 an
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.)
Avoid electrostatic charge: do not rub non-metallic
surfaces with a dry cloth; ensure cloth is damp.
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 nonmetallic baseplate they must be individually earthed.
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.

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
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.
Oil lubricated units only:
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.
For units driven by equipment other than
electric motors or units contained within enclosures,
see the accompanying information sheets and
manuals.
It is recommended that where exposure approaches
the prescribed limit, then site noise measurements
should be made.
The values are in sound pressure level LpA at 1 m
(3.3 ft) from the machine, for “free field conditions
over a reflecting plane”.
For estimating sound power level LWA (re 1 pW) then
add 14 dBA to the sound pressure value.

2.4 Storage
Store the pump in a clean, dry
location away from vibration. Leave piping
connection covers in place to keep dirt and other
foreign material out of pump casing. Turn pump at
intervals to prevent brinelling of the bearings and the
seal faces, if fitted, from sticking.
The pump may be stored as above for up to 6
months. Consult Flowserve for preservative actions
when a longer storage period is needed.
2.5 Recycling and end of product life
At the end of the service life of the product or its
parts, the relevant materials and parts should be
recycled or disposed of using an environmentally
acceptable method and local requirements. If the

3.4.3 Operating limits
Maximum pump speed: refer to the nameplate.
4 INSTALLATION
Equipment operated in hazardous locations
must comply with the relevant explosion protection
regulations. See section 1.6.4, Products used in
potentially explosive atmospheres.
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
On baseplated pump sets the coupling elements
are supplied loose. It is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure that the pump set is finally lined
up as detailed in section 4.5.2, Alignment methods.
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.
Ensure the following are met:
a) The baseplate should be mounted onto a firm
foundation, either an appropriate thickness of
quality concrete or sturdy steel framework. (It
should NOT be distorted or pulled down onto
the surface of the foundation, but should be
supported to maintain the original alignment.)
b) Install the baseplate onto packing pieces
evenly spaced and adjacent to foundation
bolts.
c) Level with shims between baseplate and
packing pieces.
d) The pump and driver have been aligned before
dispatch however the alignment of pump and
motor half coupling must be checked. If this is
incorrect, it indicates that the baseplate has
become twisted and should be corrected by reshimming.
e) If not supplied, guarding shall be fitted as
necessary to meet the requirements of ISO
12100 and EN953.
4.4 Grouting
Where applicable, grout in the foundation bolts.
After adding pipework connections and rechecking
the coupling alignment, the baseplate should then be
grouted in accordance with good engineering
practice. Fabricated steel, folded steel and cast iron
baseplates can be filled with grout. Polycrete
baseplates can not be grouted,see their User
Instructions 71569284 (E) for installation and use. If
in any doubt, please contact your nearest service
centre for advice.
Grouting provides solid contact between the pump
unit and foundation, prevents lateral movement of
vibrating equipment and dampens resonant
vibrations.
Foundation bolts should only be fully tightened
when the grout has cured.
4.5 Initial alignment
4.5.1 Thermal expansion
The pump and motor will normally
have to be aligned at ambient temperature with an
allowance for thermal expansion at operating
temperature. In pump installations involving high liquid
temperatures, the unit should be run at the actual
operating temperature, shut down and the alignment
checked immediately.

Angular
4.5.2 Alignment methods
Pump and driver must be isolated
electrically and the half couplings disconnected.
The alignment MUST be checked.
Although the pump will have been aligned at the
factory it is most likely that this alignment will have
been disturbed during transportation or handling. If
necessary, align the motor to the pump, not the pump
to the motor.
Alignment is achieved by adding or removing shims
under the motor feet and also moving the motor
horizontally as required.
In some cases where the alignment cannot be
achieved it will be necessary to move the pump
before recommencing the above procedure.
For couplings with narrow flanges use a dial
indicator as shown. The alignment values are
maximums for continuous service.
Parallel
Permissible misalignment limits at working
temperature:
•Parallel alignment
- 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) TIR maximum
•Angular alignment
- 0.3 mm (0.012 in.) TIR maximum for
couplings not exceeding 100 mm (4 in.) flange
diameter
- 0.5 mm (0.020 in.) TIR maximum for
couplings over 100 mm (4 in.) diameter
When checking parallel alignment, the total
indicator read-out (TIR) shown is twice the value of
the actual shaft displacement.
When the electric motor has sleeve bearings it is
necessary to ensure that the motor is aligned to run
on its magnetic centreline. Refer to the motor
manual for details. A button (screwed into one of
the shaft ends) is normally fitted between the motor
and pump shaft ends to fix the axial position.
Align in the vertical plane first, then horizontally by
moving motor. Maximum pump reliability is obtained
by near perfect alignment of 0.05 - 0.075 mm (0.002 -
0.003 in.) parallel and 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) per 100 mm
(4 in.) of coupling flange diameter as angular
misalignment.
4.5.3 Check for soft foot
This is a check to ensure that there is no undue
stress on the driver holding down bolts; due to nonlevel baseplate or twisting. To check, remove all
shims and clean surfaces and tighten down driver
to the baseplate. Set a dial indicator as shown in
sketch and loosen off the holding down bolt while
noting any deflection reading on the dial test
Indicator - a maximum of 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) is
considered acceptable but any more will have to be
corrected by adding shims. For example, if the dial
test indicator shows the foot lifting 0.15 mm (0.006
in.) then this is the thickness of shim to be placed
under that foot. Tighten down and repeat the same
procedure on all other feet until all are within
tolerance.
Complete piping as below and see sections 4.7,
Final shaft alignment check up to and including
section 5, Commissioning, startup, operation and shutdown, before connecting driver and checking
actual rotation.
4.6 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.
4.6.1 Suction and discharge pipework
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
Page 14 of 48 flowserve.com
Page 15
CPXS, CPXNS and CPXPS USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569250 07-11
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
Ensure piping and fittings are
flushed before use.
Ensure piping for hazardous liquids is
arranged to allow pump flushing before removal of
the pump.
4.6.1.1 CPXS and CPXNS only
Take the suction lift into account in the available
NPSH which must be higher than the required
NPSH of the pump.
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 suction and discharge. Typically main
pipework velocities should not exceed 2 m/s (6
ft/sec) suction and 3 m/s (9 ft/sec) on the
discharge.
4.6.1.2 CPXPS self primer only
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 manual/
automatic control will be necessary during
operation to prevent continuous re-circulation of
the pumped liquid.
4.6.2 Suction piping
4.6.2.1 CPXS and CPXNS suction piping
a) The inlet pipe should be one or two sizes larger
than the pump inlet bore and pipe bends
should be as large a radius as possible.
b) On suction lift the piping should be inclined up
towards the pump inlet with eccentric reducers
incorporated to prevent air locks.
c) On positive suction, the inlet piping must have
a constant fall towards the pump.
d) The pipe next to the pump should be the same
diameter as the pump suction and have a
minimum of two pipe diameters of straight section
between the elbow and the pump inlet flange.
Where the NPSH margin is not large, it is
recommended that the pipe straight is 5 to 10
pipe diameter. (See section 10.3, Reference 1.)
Inlet strainers, when used, should have a net 'free
area' of at least three times the inlet pipe area.
e) Fitting isolation and non-return valves will allow
easier maintenance.
f) Never throttle pump on suction side and never
place a valve directly on the pump inlet nozzle.
g) The pump is fitted with silicon carbide bearings
therefore small non-abrasive solids less than
0.3 mm (0.012 in.) in diameter can be handled
providing they constitute no more than 2.5% by
volume of liquid handled.
h) Solids must be non-magnetic, must not have a
tendency to coagulate and must not be fibrous.
They should also be non-abrasive and must
not scale wetted surfaces. For services other
than above you are recommended to contact
Flowserve for advice.
4.6.2.2 CPXPS suction piping
a) The inlet pipe should be as short as possible,
airtight and the smallest volume as practical for
the pump flow rate so as to be able to prime in
quickly. Where inlet pipe volume is large an inlet
ball-foot valve or flap valve will be required.
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 slope down
towards the pump casing suction flange.
c) Take the suction lift into account in the available
NPSH, which must be higher than the required
NPSH of the pump.
d) Allow a minimum of two pipe diameters of
straight section between the elbow and inlet
flange.
e) Fitting an isolation valve will allow easier
maintenance.

4.6.3 Discharge piping
4.6.3.1 CPXS and CPXNS discharge piping
A non-return valve should be located in the
discharge pipework to protect the pump from
excessive back pressure and hence reverse
rotation when the unit is stopped.
Fitting an isolation valve will allow easier
maintenance.
4.6.3.2 CPXPS 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. Pipework explanders should have
a maximum angle of divergence of 9 degrees.
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.
4.6.4 Allowable Nozzle loads
The pump complies with ISO 5199 shaft deflection
limits for the following flange loads. The values are
presented in the ISO 5199/ISO 13709 (API 610)
format. Please note that the values permitted may
be higher or lower than those in ISO 5199; see
those specified for the actual pump size.
The values permitted for the pump with nozzle
(50mm and above) meet ISO 13709 (API610)
Table 4 values with grouted metallic baseplates.
Individual forces and moments up to twice ISO
13709 (API610) Table 4 values may be permitted
but only when applied in accordance with the
conditions in ISO 13709 (API610) Annex F.
Values are presented in compliance with the ISO
1503 sign convention.
All individual values which are greater than the
following values must be referred to Flowserve for
approval.
The values in the table on next page must be
multiplied by the following factors.

4.7 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.
4.8 Final shaft alignment check
After connecting piping to the pump, rotate the
shaft several times by hand to ensure there is no
binding and all parts are free. Recheck the
coupling alignment, as previously described, to
ensure no pipe strain. If pipe strain exists, correct
piping.
4.9 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 install a protection
device 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, fit
a power monitor 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 system can
cause a hazard an appropriate leakage detection
system shall be installed.
To prevent excessive surface temperatures at
bearings it is recommended that temperature or
vibration monitoring is carried out
Magnetic drive pumps are inherently safe and
are ideal for toxic, corrosive and highly volatile
liquids. However if abused and allowed to run dry,
for example, the consequences can be expensive
to repair. A few minutes dry running will cause
severe damage to the magnetic drive.
The main potential risks of failure are:
Dry running due to blocking of lubrication ports with
solids in pumped liquid.
1. Dry running due to loss of liquid to pump
suction.
2. Dry running due to impeller seizing, caused by
debris in the pump casing.
Dry running due to solidification of liquid in the
shell, eg due to poor control of temperature.
If any of these conditions occur, the system
must be switched off within one minute and the
most universal way of achieving this, for all the
above conditions, is by using a power or current
monitor fitted into the starter.
One other potential problem that can be monitored
when pumping hazardous fluids is leakage from the
shell.
In this instance the drive should be fitted with dual
containment and monitoring of the space between
the two shells can be carried out using a pressure
switch connected to either motor starter or alarm.
Page 18 of 48 flowserve.com
Page 19
CPXS, CPXNS and CPXPS USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569250 07-11
If required, temperature of the liquid in the drive
and the metal shell (when single containment) can
also be monitored from the tapping points shown.
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
Determine the mode of lubrication of the pump set,
eg grease, oil, product lubrication etc.
For oil lubricated pumps, fill the
bearing housing with correct grade of oil to the
correct level, ie oil sight guage [3856] or constant
level oiler bottle [3855].
Where an adjustable body Denco oiler is fitted this
should be set to the height shown in the following
diagram:
As each system has its unique requirements it is
recommended that Flowserve is consulted when
advice is required.
Auxiliary connection (Rp)
A G ¼ Bearing housing drain (plugged when provided)
B G ½ Casing drain (plugged when provided)
C Rp ⅜Leakage (plugged when provided)
F Rp ⅜External flush connection (plugged when provided)
H Rp ¼ Discharge gauge connection (plugged when provided)
J Rp ¼ Suction gauge connection (plugged when provided)
K G ½ Sight glass (when fitted)
L Rp ¼ Constant level oiler (when fitted)
V Rp ⅜ Fluid temperature connection (plugged when provided)
W Rp ⅜ Bearing housing vent (when provided)
Y1 Rp ½ Shell temperature connection (plugged as standard)
Y2 Rp ¼
Z Rp ½ Assembly access (plugged as standard)
Dual containment pressure connection (plugged
when provided)
The oil filled bottle should then be refitted so as to
return it to the upright position. Filling should be
repeated until oil remains visible within the bottle.
Oil lubricated units are supplied
without oil and must be filled to the marked level
before starting the pump.
To fill the bearing housing with oil, unscrew the oil
filler/breather and fill through the orifice.
Approximate oil volumes are shown in section
5.2.2, Bearing sizes and capacities.
Grease lubricated pumps and electric motors are
supplied pre-greased.
Other drivers and gearboxes, if appropriate, should
be lubricated in accordance with their manuals.
Where the ambient is very low special lubricants
are required. Refer to Flowserve when outside the
lubricant temperature range -5 to 82 ºC
(23 to 179 ºF). Where oil lubrication is utilized and
the ambient is less than -5 °C (23 °F) ensure the o il
pour point is at least 15 °C (27 °F) lower than the
ambient or use oil class SAE 5W-50 or API-SJ and
ensure the upper operating range of the oil is then
not exceeded. IS0 VG 46 oil is generally selected
for an initial lubrication schedule.
When fitted with a constant level oiler, the bearing
housing should be filled by unscrewing or hinging
back the transparent bottle and filling it with oil.

* Note that it normally takes 2 hours for bearing temperature to stabilize and the final temperature will depend on the ambient, r/min, pumpage
temperature and pump size. Also some oils have a very low pour point and good viscosity index which extend the minimum temperature
capability of the oil. Always check the grade capability where the ambient is less than -5 ºC (23 ºF).
Note: the bearing sizes do not constitute a
purchasing specification.
Grease lubricated bearing housings are fitted with
"sealed for life" bearings.
5.2.3 Lubrication schedule
5.2.3.1 Oil lubricated bearings
Normal oil change intervals are 4 000 operating
hours or at least every 6 months. For pumps on hot
service or in severely damp or corrosive
The lubricating oil should be a high quality mineral
oil having foam inhibitors. Synthetic oils may also be
used if checks show that the rubber oil seals will not
be adversely affected.
The bearing temperature may be allowed to rise to
50 ºC (90 ºF) above ambient, but should not exceed
82 ºC (180 ºF) (API 610 limit). A continuously rising
temperature, or an abrupt rise, indicates a fault.
Pumps which handle high temperature liquids may
require their bearings to be cooled to prevent
bearing temperatures exceeding their limits.
5.2.3.2 Grease lubricated bearings
The bearings are sealed for life.

5.3 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.
5.4 Direction of rotation
Serious damage can result if the
pump is started or run in the wrong direction of
rotation.
The pump is shipped with the coupling element
removed. Ensure the direction of rotation of the
motor is correct before fitting the coupling element.
Direction of rotation must correspond to the direction
arrow.
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.
5.5 Guarding
Guarding is supplied fitted to the pump set.
In member countries of the EU and EFTA, it is a
legal requirement that fasteners for guards must
remain captive in the guard to comply with the
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. When releasing
such guards, the fasteners must be unscrewed in
an appropriate way to ensure that the fasteners
remain captive.
Whenever guarding is removed or disturbed ensure
that all the protective guards are securely refitted
prior to start-up.
5.6 Priming and auxiliary supplies
5.6.1 CPXS and CPXNS filling and priming
Ensure inlet pipe and pump casing
is completely full of liquid before starting continuous
duty operation.
Priming may be carried out with an ejector, vacuum
pump interceptor or other equipment, or by flooding
from the inlet source.
When in service, pumps using inlet pipes with foot
valves may be primed by passing liquid back from
the outlet pipe through the pump.
5.6.2 CPXPS filling and self priming
Fill the pump with liquid to be
pumped, or compatible liquid, via the filling hole,
before starting continuous duty operation.
Pump housing
filling hole.
When the initial fill
reaches the suction
pipe, excess liquid
will
flow out of the
casing.
The pump has self-priming action for which a
separate air pump is not normally required.
5.6.3 Auxiliary supplies
Ensure all electrical, hydraulic,
pneumatic, sealant and lubrication systems (as
applicable) are connected and operational.
5.7 Starting the pump
5.7.1 Starting the CPXS and CPXNS
a) Ensure flushing and/or cooling/
heating liquid supplies are turned ON, before
starting pump.
b) CLOSE the outlet valve.
c) OPEN all inlet valves.
d) Prime the pump.
e) Start motor and check the outlet pressure.
f) If the pressure is satisfactory, SLOWLY open
the outlet valve.
Page 21 of 48 flowserve.com
Page 22
CPXS, CPXNS and CPXPS USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569250 07-11
g) Do not run the pump with the
outlet valve closed for a period longer than 30
seconds.
h) If NO pressure, or LOW pressure, STOP the
pump. Refer to section 7, Faults; causes and remedies for fault diagnosis.
5.7.2 Starting the CPXPS pump
a) Ensure flushing and/or cooling/
heating liquid supplies are turned ON, before
starting pump.
b) CLOSE the outlet valve.
c) OPEN all inlet valves.
d) Prime the pump. (See section
5.6.1.) 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.
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 risk 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.
5.8 Running the pump
5.8.1 Bearings
If the pumps are working in a potentially
explosive atmosphere temperature or vibration
monitoring at the bearings is recommended.
If bearing temperatures are to be monitored it is
essential that a benchmark temperature is recorded
at the commissioning stage and after the bearing
temperature has stabilized.
•Record the bearing temperature (t) and the
ambient temperature (ta)
•Estimate the likely maximum ambient
temperature (tb)
•Set the alarm at (t+tb-ta+5) ºC (t+tb-ta+10) ºF
and the trip at 100 ºC (212 ºF) for oil lubrication
and 105 ºC (220 ºF) for grease lubrication
It is important, particularly with grease lubrication,
to keep a check on bearing temperatures. After
start up the temperature rise should be gradual,
reaching a maximum after approximately 1.5 to 2
hours. This temperature rise should then remain
constant or marginally reduce with time. Refer to
section 6.2.3.1 for further information.
5.8.2 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.
Pump sets are normally suitable for a number of
equally spaced stop/starts per hour. Generally six
stop/starts per hour may be satisfactory. Refer
frequent stop/starting to the motor manufacturer.

CPXS, CPXNS and CPXPS USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569250 07-11
Check capability of the driver and control/starting
system before commissioning.
Where duty and standby pumps are installed it is
recommended that they are run alternately every
week.
5.9 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.
5.10 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.
5.10.1 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.
5.10.2 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.
5.10.3 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.
5.10.4 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. If in
doubt please consult your nearest Flowserve office for
advice and details of the minimum allowable margin for
your application.
5.10.5 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)
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 5.9.
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.
Page 23 of 48 flowserve.com
Page 24
CPXS, CPXNS and CPXPS USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569250 07-11
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 bearing lubricant level, and if the hours
run show a lubricant change is required.
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.
f) Check coupling alignment and re-align if
necessary.
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 the level and condition of oil lubricant.
On grease lubricated pumps, check running
hours since last recharge of grease or complete
grease change.
c) When "sealed for life" bearings are fitted it is
recommended that they are renewed every
12 000 hours running life or every 2 years,
whichever is the sooner.
d) Check any auxiliary supplies eg heating/cooling
(if fitted) are functioning correctly.
Refer to the manuals of any associated
equipment for routine checks needed.
e) Pumps having ferrous wetted
components may rust internally if stood for
periods longer than say 2 weeks. In such cases
it is recommended that the pump shaft be turned
a few revolutions at least once a week to break
any rust or algae that may have built up in the
clearances between rotating parts. On units
where the shaft is accessible it may be turned
by hand. In other cases a flick of the starter is
permissible after ensuring that the pump casing
is full of liquid to prevent bearings etc running
dry.
6.2.2 Periodic inspection (six monthly)
a) Check foundation bolts for
security of attachment and corrosion.
b) Check pump running records for hourly usage
to determine if bearing lubricant requires
changing.
Page 24 of 48 flowserve.com
Page 25
CPXS, CPXNS and CPXPS USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569250 07-11
c) The coupling should be checked for correct
alignment and worn driving elements.
Refer to the manuals of any associated
equipment for periodic checks needed.
6.2.3 Re-lubrication
Lubricant and bearing temperature analysis can be
useful in optimizing lubricant change intervals. In
general however, the following is recommended.
6.2.3.1 Oil lubricated bearings
Normal oil change intervals are 4 000 operating
hours or at least every six months. For pumps on
hot service or in severely damp or corrosive
atmosphere, the oil will require changing more
frequently. Lubricant and bearing temperature
analysis can be useful in optimizing lubricant
change intervals. The lubricating oil should be a
high quality oil having oxidisation and foam
inhibitors, or synthetic oil.
The bearing temperature may be allowed to rise to
50 ºC (90 ºF) above ambient, but should not
exceed 82 ºC (180 ºF) (API 610 limit). A
continuously rising temperature, or an abrupt rise,
indicate a fault.
Pumps that handle high temperature liquids may
require their bearings to be cooled to prevent
bearing temperatures exceeding their limits.
6.2.3.2 Grease lubricated bearings
The bearings are sealed for life. It is recommended
that they are renewed every 12 000 hours running
life or every 2 years, whichever is the sooner.
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 non-standard 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.
A typical range of tools that will be required to
maintain these pumps is listed below.
Readily available in standard tool kits, and
dependent on pump size:
•Open ended spanners (wrenches) to suit up to
M 24 screws/nuts
•Socket spanners (wrenches), up to M 48
screws
• Allen keys, up to 10 mm (A/F)

6.7 Setting impeller clearance
This procedure may be required after the pump has
been dismantled or a different clearance is
required.
a) Position the pump casing [1100] with the
suction flange facing down on the bench.
b) Install the casing gasket [4590.1] followed by
the inner rotor/casing cover assembly.
c) Tighten the casing bolts [6570.2].
d) Locate a dial indicator on top of the pump shaft
[2100.1] to enable its vertical movement to be
recorded.
e) Loosen inner rotor locknut [6580] and record
shaft drop when the impeller touches the pump
casing. This is a measure of the current front
clearance. Check 3 times at 120 degree
intervals and record the smallest value.
f) Record this reading on line 1 below. Subtract
gasket compression factor - 0.15 mm (0.006
in.) and record on line 3 below:
Line Detail mm (in.)
1 Shaft drop
2 Gasket compression factor 0.15 (0.006)
3 Line (1 - 2)
4 Design front clearance
5 Shim adjustment required (3 - 4)
g) Subtract the design front clearance from the
total shaft drop recorded in line 3 to arrive at
the shim adjustment.
IF POSITIVE - ADD SHIMS
IF NEGATIVE - SUBTRACT SHIMS
Design front clearances are:
Impeller diameters up to 210 mm inclusive 0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
Impeller diameters 211 mm to 254 mm 0.4 mm (0.016 in.)
h) Re-install the inner rotor and tighten up the
locknut in accordance with torques shown in
section 6.6.
i) Check axial float is between 0.5 and 1.5 mm
(0.02 and 0.06 in.).
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.
Refer to section 6.5, Tools required for instruments
needed during dismantling and assembly
procedures. These tools are not supplied with the
pump but can be ordered from Flowserve if
required.
The "back pullout" design of these units enables
the pump casing [1100] to be left in line. The outer
assembly or inner assembly can be removed
without disturbing the pump end thus allowing
examination of the outer rotor and bearing housing
ball bearings.

CPXS, CPXNS and CPXPS USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569250 07-11
6.8.1 General
a) Lock and tag power source.
b) Ensure the work area is clean of grease, oil
and metallic chips or dust. Ferritic dust will
attract to magnetic assemblies.
c) Drilling, grinding or machining should NOT be
attempted near the work area.
d) The dismantled magnet
assemblies [220 & 230] have a very strong
attraction. They should be handled separately
at a safe distance from each other and stored
in a clean area.
6.8.2 Dismantling frame mounted outer
assembly
a) Loosen the bearing housing footbolts.
b) Remove the 4 bolts [6570.3] holding the
bearing housing to the casing cover.

6.10 Magnets
Demagnetization of the magnet material can be the
result of either high operating temperatures around
the magnet assemblies or decoupled magnets
operating around a metallic containment shell.
High ambient temperatures are detrimental to the
attraction properties of the magnets.
The inner magnet assembly is most susceptible to
high operating temperatures and cannot tolerate
operation above its upper critical temperature limit.
If decoupling has occurred or if a system
upset has caused the temperature limits to be
exceeded, the original strength of the magnets may
have decreased. The following torque test
procedure should be followed in such a situation.
6.10.1.1 Magnet torque test procedure
a) Remove the casing [1100] from the pump.
b) Secure the bearing housing on a stable
worktable.
c) Lock the outer rotor assembly [230] in position.
Insert bolt in assembly hole.
d) Remove the impeller [2200] by using a strap
wrench around the periphery of the impeller.

threaded connection.
• Models 80 and 100 M22 -1.5 pitch
• Model 150 M30 -1.5 pitch
f) Use a torque wrench on the shaft adapter nut
and turn clockwise to measure the force
required to break the magnetic coupling.
Adjust the wrench setting such that the torque
value is determined prior to breaking the
magnetic couple. This is the torque capability
of the magnetic coupling.
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.
