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
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.
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.
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.
NEVER APPLY HEAT TO REMOVE IMPELLER
Trapped lubricant or vapor 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. 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 (23 ºF) in a restricted zone, or exceeds
local regulations, action as above shall be taken.
Page 5 of 48 flowserve.com
CPXV and CPXRV USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569193 09-14
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.
Gland packing must not be used when pumping
hazardous liquids.
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
Liquid level controls are recommended to avoid the risk
of dry running.
ENSURE CORRECT LUBRICATION
(See section 5, Commissioning, start-up, operation and shutdown.)
ONLY CHECK DIRECTION OF
MOTOR ROTATION WITH COUPLING ELEMENT/
PINS REMOVED
Starting in reverse direction of rotation will damage the
pump.
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.)
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
2014/34/EU (previously 94/9/EC which remains valid
until 20 April 2016 during the transition). Always
observe the regional legal Ex requirements e.g. Ex
electrical items outside the EU may be required certified
to other than ATEX e.g. 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 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 motor, coupling, pump thrust bearing and seal
can be made compliant with ATEX Directive
2014/34/EU (previously 94/9/EC which remains valid
until 20 April 2016 during the transition) for
Equipment Categories 2 and 3 as required by the
duty conditions.
See the pump nameplate and Declaration of Conformity
for the pump classification. The pump column below
sole plate will also generally be to the same category
however in some applications the section of the pump
below sole plate and above liquid will have been
designed to Category 1, whereas above sole plate
Category 2 or 3 will apply. (See section 1.6.4.2.)

The pump will then be supplied with a copy of the
Certificate of Approval by a Notified Body and marked
with both categories. Users must pay particular
attention to pump operation and maintenance
instructions because of the hazard of the explosive
atmosphere.
The output from a variable frequency drive (VFD) can
cause additional heating effects in the motor and so, for
pump 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.
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 or in the case of Category
1, below the sole plate on a special ATEX marking
plate.

Category is 1/2 or 1/3. In that situation, the 1 before
the /2 or /3 identifies the special case where the
pump is Category 1 below the sole plate and 2 or 3
above the sole plate.
For ATEX Group II Category 1 below the sole plate a
special ATEX marking plate is used. An example of
this is shown below.
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.
The surface temperature on the pump is influenced
by the temperature of the liquid handled. The
maximum permissible liquid temperature depends on
the ATEX temperature class and must not exceed the
values in the table that follows:
* The table only takes the ATEX temperature class into consideration.
Pump design or material, as well as component design or material,
may further limit the liquid maximum working temperature
The temperature rise at the seals and bearings and
due to the minimum permitted flow rate is taken into
account in the temperatures stated.
The operator is responsible to ensure the specified
maximum liquid temperature is not exceeded.
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.
Page 7 of 48 flowserve.com
CPXV and CPXRV USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569193 09-14
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.
Avoid mechanical, hydraulic or electrical overload by
using motor overload trips, a temperature or 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.
The equipment utilises seals and bearing surfaces
that may be polymer based which could be
corroded if they are in contact with unsuitable
liquids or gases. These surfaces are important for
the operation of the pump. Contact Flowserve if
you are uncertain about the performance of these
materials with respect to aggressive substances
that may be present in the hazardous area.
The pump casing must be flooded with liquid to the
minimum level on the dimensional general
arrangement (GA) drawing, at any time that the pump
is operated. On pumps furnished to Group II
Category 1 below the sole plate, monitoring of the
level with a pump cut out on low level is required.
Where there is the potential hazard of a loss of a seal
barrier fluid the barrier fluid system must be monitored.
Where there is a risk that the external flush to a seal or
bearing could fail, for example by freezing, blocking by
debris or loss of supply pressure, then the flow must be
monitored.
Where there is product flush via filters then flow must
be monitored.
Visual indicators are suitable when equipment is
regulary inspected, but sensors connected to the pump
control system must be used if the pump runs remotely.
For Category 2 equipment the monitoring must create
an alarm to the plant operator or shut down the pump.
For equipment to category 1/2 or 1/3 with external flush
or filtered product flush, the flow to each line bearing
must be separately monitored and temperature sensors
fitted on each line bearing that is connected to the
pump control system. The monitoring equipment must
be suitable for the hazardous area.
For equipment to category 1/2 or 1/3 the presence of
seal barrier liquid and the temperature of the inboard
seal must both be monitored and connected to the
pump control to create an alarm signal to the operator,
or to shut down the pump.
See also sections 5.8.2 to 5.8.6.
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, 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
and anti-static for Category 2.
To avoid the potential hazard from random induced
current generating a spark, the sole plate must be
properly grounded.
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
the requirements of European Directive 2014/34/EU
(previously 94/9/EC which remains valid until 20 April
2016 during the transition). Correct coupling alignment
must be maintained.
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.
Page 8 of 48 flowserve.com
CPXV and CPXRV USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569193 09-14
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.
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.)
1.7 Nameplate and safety labels
1.7.1 Nameplate
For details of nameplate, see the Declaration of
Conformity. Where a unit is ATEX Group II Category
1 below the sole plate there is an additional ATEX
marking plate. (See section 1.6.4.2, Marking.)
1.7.2 Safety labels
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.
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.
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.
The noise level of machines in this range will most likely be of values which require noise exposure control, but typical values are inappropriate. Note: for 1 180 and 960 r/min reduce 1 450 r/min values by 2 dBA. For 880 and 720 r/min reduce 1 450 r/min values by 3 dBA.
2 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
2.1 Consignment receipt and unpacking
Immediately after receipt of the equipment it must be
checked against the delivery/shipping documents for
its completeness and that there has been no damage
2.2 Handling
Boxes, crates, pallets or cartons may be unloaded
using fork lift vehicles or slings dependent on their
size and construction.
2.3 Lifting
in transportation. Any shortage and/or damage must
be reported immediately to Flowserve and must be
received in writing within one month of receipt of the
equipment. Later claims cannot be accepted.
Check any crate, boxes or wrappings for any
accessories or spare parts that may be packed
separately with the equipment or attached to side
walls of the box or equipment.
A crane must be used for all pump sets in
excess of 25 kg (55 lb). Fully trained personnel must
carry out lifting, in accordance with local regulations.
Pumps with drivers over approximately 7.5 kW, are
supplied with the pump packed as a separate item
from the driver. These should be lifted separately
into their installed position, using lifting points on the
pump sole plate, and on the motor.
Each product has a unique serial number. Check
that this number corresponds with that advised and
always quote this number in correspondence as well
as when ordering spare parts or further accessories.
the resulting center of gravity may be above the lifting
points, and the method of slinging must prevent the
machine tipping during the lift.
When lifting pumps with drivers fitted,
Page 10 of 48 flowserve.com
CPXV and CPXRV USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569193 09-14
For lifting the driver refer to the
dimension drawing of the driver
Lift points for the pump or the
pump and the driver
Slings, ropes and other lifting gear must be
positioned where they cannot slip and where a
balanced lift is obtained.
Most units are supplied with four lifting points on the
pump sole plate [6140]. Attach D links onto all four
lifting points. Lift the pump up to the vertical,
suspending initially from only two of the D links on the
sole plate while the pump casing foot remains resting on
the floor, until almost vertical. Then use all four lifting
points to lift completely off the floor.
For improved stability unbolt the driver and lift the
driver and pump separately.
To avoid distortion, the pump unit
should be lifted as shown.
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 six
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
product contains substances that are harmful to the
environment, these should be removed and disposed
of in accordance with current regulations. This also
includes the liquids and or gases that may be used in
the "seal system" or other utilities.
Make sure that hazardous substances are
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.

3.3 Design of major parts
3.3.1 Pump casing
The pump casing is designed for operation when
submerged in the sump liquid.
3.3.2 Impeller
An open impeller is fitted. (On the CPXRV the impeller
is recessed within the back of the casing and the
impeller setting is to the rear backvanes.)
3.3.3 Shaft
The shaft has a keyed drive coupling. It is supported by
rolling bearing(s) above the sole plate and journal
bearing(s) below.
3.3.4 Bearing housing
The bearing housing enables adjustment of impeller
face clearance on the open impeller via the bearing
carrier jacking screws.

CPXV and CPXRV USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569193 09-14
High temperature pumps have a cooling fan above the
pump thrust bearing housing and a heat sink disk fan
below the pump thrust bearing but above the sole
plate shaft seal.
3.3.5 Pump bearings and lubrication
The pump is fitted with a thrust type ball bearing that
may be configured differently dependent on use.
The thrust bearing(s) may be grease or oil lubricated
depending upon the application.
The journal (line) bearings may be lubricated by
product or from an external source depending upon
the application.
3.3.6 Sole plate shaft seal
The modular design enables one of a number of
sealing options to be fitted. The option of a rigid
coupling below the thrust bearing and above a
mechanical seal provides back-pull-out servicing of
the mechanical seal; removing the motor extends the
back-pull-out feature to the thrust bearing.
3.3.7 Driver
The pump is normally driven by a flange mounted electric
motor. An air or hydraulic motor may be utilized.
The position of the terminal box can be changed by
rotating the complete motor. To do this, remove the
fasteners from the motor flange, rotate the motor and
re-fit the fasteners.
3.3.8 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
Maximum pump ambient temperature: +55 ºC (131 ºF)
where driver, flexible coupling and thrust bearing is also
rated for this ambient. Check the nameplate.
Maximum pump speed: refer to the nameplate.
3.4.2 Energy efficiency operation of pumps
The pump supplied will have been selected from
Flowserve’s extensive product line to have optimum
efficiency for the application. If supplied with an electric
motor then the motor will meet or exceed current
legislation for motor efficiency. However it is the way
the pump is operated which has the greatest impact on
the amount and cost of energy used during the
operating life of the pump. The following are key points
in achieving minimum operating cost for the equipment:
Design the pipe system for minimum friction losses
Ensure that the control system switches off the
pump when not required
In a multi-pump system run the minimum number
of pumps
Try to avoid systems which by-pass excess flow
As far as possible avoid controlling pump flow by
throttle valves
When commissioned, check that the pump
operates at the duty specified to Flowserve
If it has been found that the pump head and flow
exceed that required, trim the pump impeller
diameter
Ensure that the pump is operating with sufficient
NPSH available
Use variable speed drives for systems that
require variable flow. A VFD for an induction
motor is a particularly effective way of achieving
speed variation and energy/cost reduction
Notes for VFD usage:
o make sure that the motor is compatible with
VFD
o Do not over-speed the pump without
checking the power capability with Flowserve
o On systems with high static head, speed
reduction is limited. Avoid running the pump
at a speed which gives low or zero flow
o Do not run a low speed and flow rate that lets
solids settle out of suspension in the pipework
o Do not use a VFD for a fixed flow
requirement; it will introduce power losses
Select high efficiency motors
If replacing a standard motor with a high
efficiency motor it will run faster and the pump
could take more power. Reduce the impeller
diameter to achieve energy reduction
If the pump system pipework or equipment is
changed or process duty is changed, check that
the pump is still correctly sized
Periodically check that the pipe system has not
become corroded or blocked
Periodically check that the pump is operating at
the flow, head and power expected and that the
efficiency has not reduced with erosion or
corrosion damage

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 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 and checked as
detailed in section 4.5.5, Final checks.
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.
The pump mounting should have concrete or metal to
support it around its edges.
4.3.1 Levelling
The sole plate must be level so that the pump column
hangs vertically; confirmed by inspection. With the
motor removed check the top face of the machined
motor pedestal [3160] is set level to 0.05 mm (0.002 in.)
or 0.2 mm/m (0.0025 in./ft) maximum. The optional
base plate should be levelled and grouted first.
Larger size motors are shipped unfitted. The motor will
need to be fitted after completion of the pump
foundation installation. Turn shaft clockwise by hand to
ensure it is free to turn.
4.3.2 Packing pieces
Where the sole plate and its counter-face do not each
have a machined face, packing pieces (metallic shims)
will need to be placed evenly adjacent to the foundation
(holding down) bolts to avoid “soft-foot” distortion. Turn
shaft clockwise by hand to ensure it is free to turn.
Soft-foot distortion may significantly increase vibration
and damage equipment by causing distortion and
should normally be inspected. If high vibration occurs
when pump is run (see section 5, Commissioning, start-up, operation and shutdown) place a vibration meter at
the side of the motor as soft-foot is most effectively
reduced when the vibration is reduced to a minimum.
Overall vibration measurement can be used - it is not
necessary to use a vibration spectrum to pick up softfoot which occurs at 1x running speed and should be
the first issue to check.
To adjust for soft-foot use a dial gauge on the sole
plate top face near to the holding down bolt, zero it,
record the soft-foot spring in the sole plate and undo
one holding down bolt at a time.
Soft-foot is removed by inserting packing pieces
(metallic shims) equal to or slightly less than the softfoot spring amount recorded at the individual holding
down point locations. Re-torque the holding down bolt.
Continue this procedure for each holding down bolt
position in turn, one at a time. The thickness of
packing pieces (metallic shims) adjacent to an
individual holding down bolt should not exceed 3 mm
(0.12 in.); ie soft-foot spring is not to exceed 3 mm
(0.12 in.) at any individual location.
4.4 Grouting
Where applicable, grout in the foundation bolts.
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.
If sludge and debris can build up in the sump it
is recommended to use a strainer with a maximum
opening size of 6 mm (0.024 in.) and a free surface
area greater than three times the pump suction area.
Category 1/2 and 1/3 pumps must be fitted with a
strainer.

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
4.5.1 Discharge pipework
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.
Never use the pump as a support for
piping.
Ensure piping and fittings are flushed
before use.
Ensure piping for hazardous liquids is arranged
to allow pump flushing before removal of the pump.
4.5.2 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.
4.5.3 Maximum forces and moments allowed on
the main sole plate discharge flange
The table below uses the sign convention shown for the
pump sole plate discharge flange maximum forces and
moments. These are valid for a pump end up to 100 ºC
(212 ºF) and the sole plate on a rigid foundation.
4.5.4 Auxiliary piping
4.5.4.1 Pumps fitted with a sole plate packed
gland
Ensure lubrication is supplied to the
gland packing. High temperature molten salt builds
require a Nitrogen gas injection at 3.4 m3/h (2 ft3/min)
to the gland packing and this must be operating
whenever adjusting the packing.
4.5.4.2 Pumps fitted with mechanical seals
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 (15 psi)
above the maximum pressure on the pump side of
the inner seal. 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 handled safely and in line with
local legislation.
Special seals may require modification to auxiliary
piping described above. Seal on pumps in potentially
explosive atmospheres shall comply with section
1.6.4.3. Consult Flowserve if unsure of correct method
or arrangement.

4.5.4.3 Pumps fitted with heating jacket
As the pump is constructed as a heated jacketed unit,
steam must be connected to the steam inlet flange and
removed via the steam outlet flange.
These flanges are located on the upper side of the
sole plate. A flanged steam valve should be provided
at the steam inlet and outlet for control of the steam
supply.
4.5.5 Final checks
Check the tightness of all bolts in the suction and
discharge pipework. Check also the tightness of all
foundation bolts.
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 flexible element coupling is aligned with
the permitted limits.
Where there is the option of an additional
rigid coupling below the thrust bearing, above the
mechanical seal: this has full metal-to-metal joints
which do not permit its adjustment.
For couplings with narrow flanges use a dial indicator
as shown. The alignment values are maximums for
continuous service.
If alignment needs to be adjusted, a small amount of
adjustment of the motor is available within the motor
spigot but alignment is generally achieved
automatically on assembly. Larger motors always
require re-adjustment.
If it is not possible to achieve the alignment accuracy
defined, it may be an indication that the pump has not
been installed or handled correctly.
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.
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
Use the lower of the above values and values
indicated in the coupling manual
When checking parallel alignment, the total indicator
read-out (TIR) shown is twice the value of the actual
shaft displacement.
The motor must be wired up in
accordance with the motor manufacturer's instructions
(normally supplied within the terminal box). Any
temperature, earth leakage, current or other appropriate
protective devices must be correctly installed and
monitored. 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 0, Direction of rotation,
before connecting the motor to the electrical supply.
