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
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 fluoro-elastomers
(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 °C (175 °F) or
below -5 °C (23 °F) in a restricted zone, or exceed
local regulations, action as above shall be taken.
Page 5 of 56 flowserve.com
LNN, LNNV, LNNC USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569074 06-14
HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS
When the pump is handling hazardous liquids care must
be taken to avoid exposure to the liquid by appropriate
sitting 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.
ENSURE CORRECT LUBRICATION
(See section 5, Commissioning, start up, operation and
shutdown.)
START THE PUMP WITH OUTLET
VALVE PARTLY 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 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.)
NEVER RUN THE PUMP DRY
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 seal.
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:
Avoiding excessive surface temperature
Preventing build up of explosive mixtures
Preventing the generation of sparks
Preventing leakages
Maintaining 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 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 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 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.

II = Non-mining
Category
2 or M2 = high level protection
3 = normal level of protection
Maximum surface temperature (Temperature Class)
(see section 1.6.4.3.)
1.6.4.3 Avoiding excessive surface temperature
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 °C (104 °F); 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 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 maximum working temperature of the liquid.
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 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.
If an explosive atmosphere exists during the
installation, do not attempt to check the direction of
rotation by starting the pump unfilled. Even a short run
time may give a high temperature resulting from
contact between rotating and stationary components.
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
vapor or gas to atmosphere the surrounding area must
be well ventilated.

LNN, LNNV, LNNC USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569074 06-14
1.6.4.5 Preventing sparks
To prevent a potential hazard from mechanical
contact, the coupling guard must be non-sparking.
To avoid the potential hazard from random induced
current generating a spark, the baseplate 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.
Additional requirement for metallic pumps on nonmetallic baseplates
When metallic components are fitted on a non-metallic
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.
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, install a liquid detection device
1.6.4.7 Maintenance to avoid the hazard
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.)

1.8 Specific machine performance
For performance parameters see section 1.5, Duty
conditions. When the contract requirement specifies
these to be incorporated into User Instructions these
are included here. 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 17 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 and shipping documents
for its completeness and that there has been no
damage in transportation. Any shortage and or
damage must be reported immediately to Flowserve
and received in writing within one month of receipt of
the equipment. Later claims cannot be accepted.
Check any crate, boxes and 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.
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.
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
Unit must not be moved as an
assembled unit.
A crane must be used for all pump sets and
components in excess of 25 kg (55 lb). Fully trained
personnel must carry out lifting, in accordance with
local regulations.
To avoid distortion, the pump unit
should be lifted as shown.
Before lifting the driver alone, refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
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 regulations. 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.
Page 10 of 56 flowserve.com
LNN, LNNV, LNNC USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569074 06-14
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.

removing the top half casing. Suction and discharge
branches are in the bottom half and therefore remain
undisturbed.
3.3.2 Impeller
The impeller is fully shrouded and may be fitted with
optional hub rings.
3.3.3 Shaft
The large diameter stiff shaft, mounted on bearings,
has a keyed drive end.
3.3.4 Pump bearings and lubrication
Ball bearings are fitted as standard and may be either
oil or grease lubricated, protected by V-ring seals.
Oil lubrication is only available where the pump shaft
is horizontal.
Bearing isolators or stationary labyrinths may be
fitted as an option in the bearing covers to protect the
bearings.
The LNNV as standard has a liquid lubricated journal
bearing fitted at the non-drive end. This bearing is
lubricated by pumped product or from an external
clean source. A grease lubricated ball bearing option
may be fitted at the non-drive end.

3.3.5 Bearing housing
Two grease nipples enable grease lubricated
bearings to be replenished between major service
intervals. For oil lubricated bearings, a constant level
oiler is fitted.
3.3.6 Stuffing box housing
The stuffing box housing has a spigot (rabbet) fit
between the pump casing and bearing housing for
optimum concentricity. The design enables a
number of sealing options to be fitted.
3.3.7 Shaft seal
The mechanical seal(s) attached to the pump shaft
seals the pumped liquid from the environment.
Gland packing may be fitted as an option.
3.3.8 Driver
The driver is normally an electric motor. Different drive
configurations may be fitted such as internal
combustion engines, turbines, hydraulic motors etc
driving via couplings, belts, gearboxes, drive shafts etc.
3.3.9 Accessories
Accessories may be fitted when specified by the
customer.

3.4.3 Energy efficient 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
Avoid as far as possible 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 which
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 at a low speed and flow rate which
lets solids settle out of suspension in the pipe
work
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 pipe work 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
Motors may be supplied loose on LNNV pumps,
typically on motor frame sizes 400 and above. It is
the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the
motor is assembled to the pump and 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 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.

LNN, LNNV, LNNC USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569074 06-14
Pa ra lle l
An gu lar
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 re-shimming.
e) Vertical pumps should be mounted following the
practices outlined for baseplate mounted pumps.
(Larger sizes may need the motor fitting after
installing the pump - refer to section 4.5.2.)
f) If the pump is driven via a universal joint drive
shaft there may be a requirement to offset the
pump shaft with respect to the driver to optimize
the universal joint drive shaft bearing life. This
offset will typically be in the range 0 to 4 degrees
depending on shaft design. Please consult the
separate User Instructions before installation.
g) Any support for the universal joint drive shaft
plummer blocks must not exhibit resonant
frequencies in the range 0.8 to 1.2 N where
N = pump running speed.
h) If not supplied, guarding shall be fitted as
necessary to meet the requirements of ISO
12100 and EN953 and or any applicable local
safety regulations.
4.4 Grouting
Where applicable, grout in the foundation bolts.
After adding pipe work connections and rechecking the
coupling alignment, the baseplate should then be
grouted in accordance with good engineering practice.
Fabricated steel, cast iron and epoxy baseplates can be
filled with grout. Folded steel baseplates should be
grouted to locate their packing pieces. 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
running equipment and dampens resonant vibrations.
Foundation bolts should only be fully tightened when
the grout has cured.
4.5Initial alignment
4.5.1 Thermal expansion
The pump and motor will normally
have to be aligned at ambient temperature and
should be corrected to allow 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.
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.
Horizontal pumps – LNN and LNNC
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. Alignment can be achieved by use of the
motor adjusters if fitted.
Vertical pumps – LNNV
Adding or removing shims between the motor stool and
the pump casing achieves alignment. The motor/motor
stool assembly may also have to be moved horizontally
at the interface with the pump casing, as required.
On the frame mounted pumps angular alignment is
achieved by adding correctly sized shims to between
the motor stool and frame.
It should be noted that if the motor has a spigot (rabbet)
fit into the motor stool then it is not possible to achieve
any horizontal movement at this interface.
For couplings with narrow flanges use a dial indicator
as shown below to check both parallel and angular
alignment. The alignment values are maximums for
continuous service.
Maximum permissible misalignment at working
temperature:
Parallel 0.2 mm (0.008 in.) TIRAngular 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) TIR
When checking parallel alignment, the total indicator
read-out (TIR) shown is twice the value of the actual
shaft displacement. Align in the vertical plane first,
then horizontally by moving motor.
Page 14 of 56 flowserve.com
LNN, LNNV, LNNC USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569074 06-14
While the pump is capable of operating with the
maximum misalignment shown above, maximum pump
reliability is obtained by near perfect alignment of 0.05
to 0.10 mm (0.002 to 0.004 in.) TIR parallel and
0.05 mm (0.002 in.) per 100 mm (4 in.) of coupling
flange diameter as TIR angular misalignment. This
covers the full series of couplings available.
Pumps with thick flanged non-spacer couplings can
be aligned by using a straight-edge across the
outside diameters of the coupling hubs and
measuring the gap between the machined faces
using feeler gauges, measuring wedge or calipers.
When the electric motor has sleeve bearings it is
necessary to ensure that the motor is aligned to run
on its magnetic centerline.
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.
If the motor does not run in its
magnetic centre the resultant additional axial force
may overload the pump thrust bearing.
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 the
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, start up, 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 pipe work
Never use the pump as a support for
piping.
In order to minimize friction losses and hydraulic
noise in the pipe work it is good practice to choose
pipe work that is one or two sizes larger than the
pump suction and discharge. Typically main pipe
work velocities should not exceed 2 m/s (6 ft/sec)
suction and 3 m/s (9 ft/sec) on the discharge.
Take into account the available NPSH which must be
higher than the required NPSH of the pump.
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.
It is recommended that expansion joints use
threaded rod to limit any forces of this type
The tables in 4.6.2 summarize the maximum forces
and moments allowed on LNN pump casings. Refer
to Flowserve for other configurations.
Ensure piping and fittings are flushed
before use.
Ensure piping for hazardous liquids is arranged
to allow pump flushing before removal of the pump.

Load and momentum orientation of LNN and
LNNV pumps
4.6.2.2 LNNC maximum forces and moments allowed
Load and momentum orientation of LNNC pumps
Notes:
1) F = External force (tension or compression).
M = External moment, clockwise or counter-clockwise.
Sign convention follows ISO 1503 and ISO 13709/API610.
2) Forces and moments may be applied simultaneously in any
direction.
3) Values apply to all materials.
4) The nozzle loads applied to the pump flanges must not exceed
the values given in tables 4.6.2.1 and 4.6.2.2
5) Higher loads may be applicable, if direction and magnitude of
individual loads are known, but these need written approval
from Flowserve.
6) The pump nozzle is not to be used as a rigid support for the
piping line.
7) The piping loads applied to the pump flanges can be minimized
using the appropriate piping line supports.
8) The suction and discharge piping lines must not be connected
to the pump nozzle with an expansion joint (or similar flexible
pipes), unless they are rigidly blocked with tie rods.
9) Pumps must be on rigid foundations and baseplates must be
fully grouted.
10) Pump/baseplate should not be used as pipe anchor.
11) Suction and discharge piping should be anchored as close as
possible to the pump flanges to reduce vibration and prevent
strain on the pump casing. Expansion joints are
recommended. They must be properly tied and located on the
side of the pipe anchor away from the pump.
12) The pump mounting bolt torques specified must be used to
prevent relative movement between the pump casing and
baseplate. (See section 6.6, Fastener torques.) The bolt
material must have a minimum yield strength of 600 N/mm2
(87 000 lb/in.2).
Failure to complying with the above can result in
damage to the pump.
