remind not to rub non-metallic surfaces with a dry cloth; ensure the cloth is damp. It is used in safety instructions where non-compliance in the hazardous area would cause the risk of an explosion.
This sign is not a safety symbol but indicates
an important instruction in the assembly process.
1.6.2 Personnel qualification and training
All personnel involved in the operation, installation, inspection and maintenance of the unit must be qualified to carry out the work involved. If the personnel in question do not already possess the necessary knowledge and skill, appropriate training and instruction must be provided. If required the operator may commission the manufacturer/supplier to provide applicable training.
Always coordinate repair activity with operations and health and safety personnel, and follow all plant
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 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 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. Note: bearing housings must not be
insulated and drive motors and bearings may be hot.
Page 5 of 40 flowserve.com
WPG and WPH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 26999969 10-12
If the temperature is greater than 80 ºC (175 ºF) or
below -5 ºC (20 ºF) in a restricted zone, or exceeds local regulations, action as above shall be taken.
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.
ENSURE CORRECT LUBRICATION (See section 5, Commissioning, startup, operation and shutdown.)
START THE PUMP WITH OUTLET
VALVE PART OPENED
(Unless otherwise instructed at a specific point in the
User Instructions.)
This is recommended to minimize the risk of overloading and damaging the pump or motor at full or zero flow. Pumps may be started with the valve further open only on installations where this situation cannot occur. The pump outlet control valve may need to be adjusted to comply with the duty following the run-up process. (See section 5, Commissioning start-up, operation and shutdown.)
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 pump and mechanical 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:
Avoid excess temperature  Prevent build up of explosive mixtures  Prevent the generation of sparks  Prevent leakages  Maintain the pump to avoid hazard
The following instructions for pumps and pump units when installed in potentially explosive atmospheres must be followed to help ensure explosion protection. For ATEX, both electrical and non-electrical equipment must meet the requirements of European Directive 94/9/EC. Always observe the regional legal Ex requirements eg Ex electrical items outside the EU may be required certified to other than ATEX eg IECEx, UL.
1.6.4.1 Scope of compliance
Use equipment only in the zone for which it is
appropriate. Always check that the driver, drive
coupling assembly, seal and pump equipment are suitably rated and/or certified for the classification of the
specific atmosphere in which they are to be installed.
Where Flowserve has supplied only the bare shaft pump, the Ex rating applies only to the pump. The party responsible for assembling the ATEX pump set shall select the 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 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.

Maximum surface temperature (Temperature Class) (see section 1.6.4.3.)
1.6.4.3 Avoiding excessive surface temperatures
ENSURE THE EQUIPMENT TEMPERATURE
CLASS IS SUITABLE FOR THE HAZARD ZONE Pumps have a temperature class as stated in the
ATEX Ex rating on the nameplate. These are based on a maximum ambient of 40 ºC (104 ºF); refer to Flowserve for higher ambient temperatures.
The surface temperature on the pump is influenced by the temperature of the liquid handled. The maximum permissible liquid temperature depends on the ATEX temperature class and must not exceed the values in the table that follows:
Maximum permitted liquid temperature for pumps
* 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 operator is responsible to ensure that 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.
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.
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.
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.
Page 7 of 40 flowserve.com
WPG and WPH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 26999969 10-12
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 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 94/9/EC. Correct coupling alignment must be
maintained.
1.6.4.6 Additional requirement for metallic pumps on non-metallic baseplates
When metallic components are fitted on a non­metallic baseplate they must be individually earthed.
1.6.4.7 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
1.6.4.8 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

1.8.2 Ecodesign
EU regulation 547/2012 of the Directive 2009/125/EC, for the minimum efficiency of defined classes of water pumps requires that products must show their Minimum Efficiency Index (MEI) value. The EU benchmark MEI 0.70. Also product information must be available to users.
Performance curves will have been provided with the quotation or order or are available at flowserve.com.
The efficiency of a pump with trimmed impeller is usually lower than that of a pump with the full impeller diameter. Trimming of the impeller will adapt the pump to a fixed duty point, leading to reduced energy consumption. The minimum efficiency index (MEI) is based on the full impeller diameter.
The operation of this water pump with variable duty points may be more efficient and economic when controlled by, for example, by the use of a variable speed drive that matches the pump duty to the system.
Information on benchmark efficiency is available at;
www.europump.org/efficiencycharts
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.
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.

WPG and WPH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 26999969 10-12
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.
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 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.

3 DESCRIPTION
3.1 Configurations
This is a robust centrifugal pump design for a wide
range of applications.
3.2 Name nomenclature
The pump size will be engraved on the nameplate
typically as below:
50WPG160
Nominal discharge branch size in mm W – Cast iron design
C – Stainless steel design PG – Standard, grease lubricated bearings
PH – Heavy duty build, oil lubricated bearings Nominal maximum impeller diameter in mm
The typical nomenclature above is the general guide
to the D-line pump configuration description.
Identify the actual pump size and serial number from the pump nameplate. Check that this agrees with the
applicable certification provided.
3.3 Design of major parts
3.3.1 Pump casing
The pump casing is designed with a horizontal centreline end inlet and a vertical centreline top outlet, which makes it self-venting. For ease of maintenance, the pump is constructed so that pipe connections do not have to be disturbed when internal maintenance is required.
3.3.2 Impeller
A shrouded impeller with hub rings is fitted.
3.3.3 Shaft
The large diameter stiff shaft, mounted on bearings,
has a keyed drive end.
3.3.4 Bearing bearings and lubrication
The pump is fitted with ball and/or roller type bearings which may be configured differently dependent on use.
The bearings may be oil or grease lubricated.
3.3.5 Seal housing
The seal housing has spigots between the pump casing and bearing housing for optimum concentricity. A fully confined gasket forms the seal between the pump casing and the seal housing. The design
enables one of a number of sealing options to be fitted.
3.3.6 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.
3.3.7 Driver
The pump is driven by a close-coupled electric motor.
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

WPG and WPH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 26999969 10-12
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
These pumps are not normally supplied in part assemblies but special accessories such as loose orifice plates are supplied loose. Ensure these are incorporated in the final installation.
4.3 Foundation
There are many methods of installing
pump units to their foundations. The correct method depends on the size of the pump unit, its location and
noise and vibration limitations. Non-compliance with
the provision of correct foundation and installation may lead to failure of the pump and, as such, would
be outside the terms of the warranty. 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.
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, 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 vibrating
equipment and dampens resonant vibrations.
Foundation bolts should only be fully tightened when the grout has cured.
4.5 Alignment of couplings
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.
Motor and pump centre line height adjustment:
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 re-shimming
e) If not supplied, guarding shall be fitted as necessary
to meet the requirements of ISO 12100 and EN953.
Page 12 of 40 flowserve.com
WPG and WPH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 26999969 10-12
Graph based on the assumptions that:
1) Operating temperature rise of the motor frame is
50 C.
2) Packing piece/motor stool is not affected.
Operation:
a) Enter graph at base to shaft centre line height b) Read line for frame material c) Set motor shaft and coupling LOW by figure on
left-hand side
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. Align the motor to the pump, not the pump to the
motor. Alignment is achieved by adding or removing shims
from 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 gauge as shown. The alignment values are
maximums for continuous service.
When checking parallel alignment, the total indicator
read-out (TIR) shown is twice the value of the actual shaft displacement.
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 non-
level 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.
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
Page 13 of 40 flowserve.com
4.6.1 Suction and discharge pipework
Never use pump as a support for piping.
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.
WPG and WPH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 26999969 10-12
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
Ensure piping and fittings are flushed
before use.
Ensure piping for hazardous liquids is arranged
to allow pump flushing before removal of the pump. Take into account the available NPSH which must be
higher than the required NPSH of the pump.
4.6.2 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.
4.6.3 Discharge piping
a) 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.
b) Fitting an isolation valve will allow easier
maintenance.
4.6.4 Flange loads
The permissible flange loading is dependent on a number of factors such as dimensions, flange rating, pressure, temperature, material, pump configuration etc.
The recommendations contained in the section on pipework connections should be followed to eliminate these loads.
When requested the permissible flange loading will have been supplied separately to the purchaser and should be obtained and retained with this manual. If in
doubt contact Flowserve for information.
4.6.5 Auxiliary piping
The connections that are to be piped
up will have been fitted with protective metal or
plastic plugs which will need to be removed.
4.6.5.1 Pumps fitted with packed glands
a) When suction pressure is below ambient pressure
and differential head is less than 10 m, it may be necessary to feed gland packing with liquid to
provide lubrication and prevent the ingress of air.
b) When pumping “dirty” liquids a clean liquid supply
to the gland is recommended.
4.6.5.2 Pumps fitted with mechanical seals
a) Single seals requiring re-circulation will normally
be provided with the auxiliary piping from pump
casing already fitted.
b) Seal housings/covers having an auxiliary quench
connection require connection to a suitable source of liquid flow, low pressure steam or static pressure from a header tank. Recommended
pressure is 0.35 bar (5 psi) or less.
c) Double seals require a barrier liquid between the
seals, compatible with the pumped liquid.
d) With back-to-back double seals, the barrier liquid
should be at a minimum pressure of 1 bar 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 in a safe area.
e) Special seals may require modification to auxiliary
piping described above. Consult Flowserve if
unsure of correct method or arrangement.
f) For pumping hot liquids, to avoid seal damage, it is
recommended that any external flush/cooling
supply be continued after stopping the pump.
4.6.5.3 Pumps fitted with heating/cooling jackets
Connect the heating/cooling pipes from the site supply. The top connection should be used as the outlet to
ensure complete filling/venting of the annulus.
Page 14 of 40 flowserve.com
WPG and WPH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 26999969 10-12
4.6.6 Final checks
Check the torque of all bolts in the suction and discharge pipework. Check also the torque of all foundation bolts.
4.7 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.
4.8 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 5.2, Direction of rotation,
before connecting the motor to the electrical supply.
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 its associated sealing system can cause a hazard install an appropriate leakage detection system.
To prevent excessive surface temperatures at bearings carry out temperature or vibration monitoring.
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 etc.
For oil lubricated pumps, fill the bearing
housing with correct grade of oil to the correct level, ie sight glass or constant level oiler bottle.
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. Watchdog oilers are self-setting and internally vent balanced. Where an adjustable body Denco oiler is fitted this should be set to the height shown in the following diagram:

Grease lubricated pumps and electric motors are
supplied pre-greased.
Where the ambient temperature is very low special lubricants are required. Where oil lubrication is
utilized and the ambient is less than -5 °C (23 °F)
ensure the oil’s pour point is at least 15 °C (27 °F) below the ambient temperature 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
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.
is generally selected for an initial lubrication schedule.
Other drivers and gearboxes, if appropriate, should
be lubricated in accordance with their manuals.
5.2 Pump lubricants
5.2.1 Recommended oil lubricants
* 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 greater viscosity index than the minimum acceptable of 95 (eg Mobil DTE13M) which may extend the minimum temperature capability of the oil. Always check the grade capability where the ambient is less than -5 ºC (23 ºF).
Use LSC for oil mist. Oil parameters provide flash point >166 ºC (331 ºF), density >0.87 @ 15 ºC (59 ºF), pour point of -10 ºC (14 ºF) or lower.
Normal compounded oils CANNOT be used with oil mist as anti-foam additives need to be avoided. Most oils recommended for wet splash lubrication contain foam inhibitors as well as antioxidants and anticorrosion additives, so they are unsuitable for oil mist. Some synthetic lubricants may attack the Nitrile seals used in a regular bearing housing. The LSC LSO oils are recommended for oil mist applications.
5.2.2 Recommended grease lubricants
Page 16 of 40 flowserve.com
* NLGI 2 is an alternative grease and is not to be mixed with other
grades.
** Standard pre-packed grease for fitted antifriction bearings.
5.2.2.1 Food grade grease, when applicable:
NSF H1 Klubersynth UH1 64-62 is the food grade grease option and it is NLGI grade 2.

NB The bearing sizes do not constitute a purchasing specification.
5.3 Direction of rotation
Serious damage can result if the
pump is started or run in the wrong direction of rotation. Ensure the pump is given the same rotation
as the pump 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.
5.4 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.
5.5 Priming and auxiliary supplies
5.5.1 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 Starting the 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. e) Start motor and check the outlet pressure. f) If the pressure is satisfactory, SLOWLY open the
outlet valve.
g) Do not run the pump against a
closed valve for more than 10 seconds.
h) If NO pressure, or LOW pressure, STOP the
pump. Refer to section 7, Faults; causes and remedies, for fault diagnosis.
5.7 Running the pump
5.7.1 Pumps fitted with packed glands
If the pump has a packed gland there must be some leakage from the gland. Gland nuts should initially be
finger-tight only. Leakage should take place soon after the stuffing box is pressurised.
If no leakage takes place stop the unit, take out the packing and repack to avoid the packing overheating. If overheating takes place the pump should be stopped and allowed to cool. before being re-packing. When the pump is re-started it should be checked to ensure leakage is taking place at the packed gland.
If hot liquids are being pumped it may be necessary
to slacken the gland nuts to achieve leakage.
The pump should be run for ten minutes with steady leakage and the gland nuts tightened by 10 degrees at a time until leakage is reduced to an acceptable level, normally 30 to 120 drops per minute. Bedding
in of the packing may take another 15 minutes.
5.7.2 Pumps fitted with mechanical seal
Mechanical seals require no adjustment. Any slight initial leakage will stop when the seal is run in. Seals will always have leakage emission from the boundary film edge in operation.
Before pumping dirty liquids it is advisable, if possible,
to run the pump in using clean liquid to safeguard the
seal face.
For external flush or quench, this
should be started before the pump is run and allowed
to flow for a period after the pump has stopped.

a) Close the outlet valve, but ensure
If the pumps are working in a potentially explosive atmosphere monitor temperature and/or vibration at the bearings.
If bearing temperatures are to be monitored it is
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.
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, 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 should then remain constant or marginally reduce with time.
5.7.4 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.
d) For prolonged shut-downs and
especially when ambient temperatures are likely to drop below freezing point, the pump and any cooling and flushing arrangements must be drained or otherwise protected.
5.9 Hydraulic, mechanical and electrical duty
This product has been supplied to meet the performance specifications of your purchase order, however it is understood that during the life of the product these may change. The following notes may help the user decide how to evaluate the implications of any change. If in doubt contact your nearest Flowserve office.
5.9.1 Specific gravity (SG)
Pump capacity and total head in metres (feet) do not change with SG, however pressure displayed on a pressure gauge is directly proportional to SG. Power absorbed is also directly proportional to SG. It is therefore important to check that any change in SG will not overload the pump driver or over-pressurize the pump.
5.9.2 Viscosity
For a given flow rate the total head reduces with increased viscosity and increases with reduced viscosity. Also for a given flow rate the power absorbed increases with increased viscosity, and reduces with reduced viscosity. It is important that checks are made with your nearest Flowserve office if changes in viscosity are planned.
5.9.3 Pump speed
5.7.5 Stop/start frequency
Pump sets are normally suitable for the number of equally spaced stop/starts per hour shown in the table below. Check capability of the driver and control/starting system before commissioning.
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.
Page 18 of 40 flowserve.com
WPG and WPH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 26999969 10-12
5.9.4 Net positive suction head (NPSHA)
NPSH available (NPSHA) is a measure of the head available in the pumped liquid, above its vapour pressure, at the pump suction branch.
NPSH required (NPSHR) is a measure of the head required in the pumped liquid, above its vapour pressure, to prevent the pump from cavitating. It is important that NPSHA > NPSHR. The margin between NPSHA > NPSHR should be as large as possible.
If any change in NPSHA is proposed, ensure these margins are not significantly eroded. Refer to the pump performance curve to determine exact requirements particularly if flow has changed.
If in doubt please consult your nearest Flowserve office for advice and details of the minimum allowable margin for your application.
5.9.5 Pumped flow
Flow must not fall outside the minimum and maximum continuous safe flow shown on the pump performance curve and or data sheet.
6 MAINTENANCE
6.1 General
It is the plant operator's responsibility to ensure that all maintenance, inspection and assembly work is carried out by authorized and qualified personnel who have adequately familiarized themselves with the subject matter by studying this manual in detail. (See also section 1.6.)
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 5.7.
Before restarting the machine, the relevant instructions listed in section 5, Commissioning, start up, operation and shut down must be observed.
Oil and grease leaks may make the ground slippery. Machine maintenance must always begin and finish by cleaning the ground and the exterior of the machine.
If platforms, stairs and guard rails are required for maintenance, they must be placed for easy access to areas where maintenance and inspection are to be carried out. The positioning of these accessories must not limit access or hinder the lifting of the part to be serviced.
When air or compressed inert gas is used in the maintenance process, the operator and anyone in the vicinity must be careful and have the appropriate protection.
Do not spray air or compressed inert gas on skin. Do not direct an air or gas jet towards other people. Never use air or compressed inert gas to clean clothes. Before working on the pump, take measures to
prevent an uncontrolled start. Put a warning board on the starting device with the words: "Machine under repair: do not start".
With electric drive equipment, lock the main switch open and withdraw any fuses. Put a warning board on the fuse box or main switch with the words: "Machine under repair: do not connect".
Never clean equipment with inflammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride. Protect yourself against toxic fumes when using cleaning agents.
6.2 Maintenance schedule
It is recommended that a maintenance plan and schedule is adopted, in line with these User Instructions, to include the following: a) Any auxiliary systems installed must be monitored,
if necessary, to ensure they function correctly.
b) Check for any leaks from gaskets and seals. The
correct functioning of the shaft seal must be checked regularly.
c) Check that the duty condition is in the safe
operating range for the pump.
d) Check vibration, noise level and surface temperature
at the bearings to confirm satisfactory operation.
e) Check dirt and dust is removed from areas around
close clearances, bearing housings and motors.
Our specialist service personnel can help with preventative maintenance records and provide condition monitoring for temperature and vibration to
identify the onset of potential problems.
If any problems are found the following sequence of actions should take place: a) Refer to section 7, Faults; causes and remedies,
for fault diagnosis.
b) Ensure equipment complies with the
recommendations in this manual.
c) Contact Flowserve if the problem persists.

6.2.1 Routine inspection (daily/weekly)
The following checks should be made
and the appropriate action taken to remedy any
deviations: a) Check operating behaviour. Ensure noise,
vibration and bearing temperatures are normal.
b) Check that there are no abnormal fluid l leaks
(static and dynamic seals).
c) Check shaft seal leaks are within acceptable limits. d) Check running hours since last recharge of
grease or complete grease change.
e) Check any auxiliary supplies eg heating/cooling
(if fitted) are functioning correctly.
Refer to the manuals of any associated
equipment for routine checks needed.
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.
Refer to the manuals of any associated
equipment for periodic checks needed.
6.2.3 Re-lubrication
For general guidelines refer to section 5.1,
Lubrication.
Lubricant and bearing temperature analysis can be
useful in optimizing bearing change intervals.
6.2.4 Mechanical seals
When leakage becomes unacceptable the seal will
need replacement.
6.3 Spare parts
6.3.1 Ordering of spares
Flowserve keeps records of all pumps that have been supplied. When ordering spares the following
information should be quoted:
1) Pump serial number.
2) Pump size.
3) Part name – taken from section 8.
4) Part number – taken from section 8.
5) Number of parts required.
The pump size and serial number are shown on the
pump nameplate.
To ensure continued satisfactory operation, replacement parts to the original design specification should be obtained from Flowserve. Any change to
the original design specification (modification or use
of a 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.
6.4 Recommended spares
Recommended spares are defined on the following basis and contained in the table in section 8.
Class 1 (S1) – start-up and commissioning spares. Class 2 (S2) – two year spares requirement
covering maintenance for this period.
Class 3 (S3) –capital spares requirement. A multiplier is provided in the last column of the table
for multiple pump purchases, which can be used where more than one pump is purchased to give the estimated volume of spares required.
See section 8 for recommended spares.
6.5 Tools required
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 20 screws/nuts
Socket spanners (wrenches), up to M 20 screws  Allen keys, up to 10 mm (A/F)  Range of screwdrivers  Soft mallet  Thickness feeler gages
6.6 Fastener torques

WPG and WPH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 26999969 10-12
6.7 Disassembly
Refer to Safety section 1.6 before dismantling
the pump.
Before dismantling the pump for
overhaul, ensure genuine Flowserve replacement parts are available. Refer to sectional drawings for part numbers and identification. (See section 8, Parts
lists and drawings.)
6.7.1 Dismantling bearing housing assembly
To remove proceed as follows: a) Disconnect all auxiliary pipes and tubes where
applicable. b) Remove coupling guard and disconnect coupling. c) If oil lubricated frame, drain oil by removing drain
plug. d) Pull off the pump half of coupling and remove
coupling key. e) Remove support foot. Fit a screw into the tapped
hole in the frame to act as support. (NB: On larger
units leave the support foot in place.) f) Remove the nuts which secure the integral frame
or bearing housing/adaptor to the pump casing. g) Remove the rotating element complete with
bearing frame or bearing housing as one complete
unit for further dismantling. h) Prise open the impeller locknut washer and
remove impeller nut (right hand thread). If an inlet
inducer is fitted then this should be removed first
(right hand thread).
i) Pull off the impeller. j) On units fitted with gland packing, remove the
gland nuts and remove the gland from the studs.
Unscrew the stuffing box cover/bearing bracket
bolts (where fitted) and remove the stuffing box
cover. k) Remove gland packing, lantern ring and packing
seating ring. l) Remove shaft sleeve (if fitted). m) On units fitted with mechanical seals, the
manufacturer's instructions should be followed
when dismantling and assembling. For standard
mechanical seals the following procedures give
general guidance. n) Remove the nuts securing the seal plate to the
casing backplate seal housing and slide the seal
plate away. o) Unscrew the stuffing box cover/bearing adaptor
bolts (where fitted) and remove the stuffing box
cover. The inboard seat on a double seal will
come away with the stuffing box cover. p) Mark the position of the seal drive collar on the
shaft (or sleeve if fitted). Loosen the drive screws
in the seal drive collar and remove the rotating
element of the seals from the shaft or sleeve. For double seals, smooth any marks on the shaft or sleeve made by the inboard seal before removing
the outboard seal.
q) Remove stationary seat(s) from the seal plate
and seal housing. This should only be necessary if the stationary face or its seating ring are being replaced.
r) Remove shaft sleeve (if fitted).
6.7.2 Dismantling bearing frame
This operation should only be necessary if the
bearings are to be replaced. a) Pull off the pump half coupling and remove
coupling key. Remove liquid thrower and both bearing covers noting that metal labyrinth throwers
are secured by M 4 socket head setscrews.
b) Press shaft, complete with bearings, out of bearing
housing towards coupling end. On oil lubricated units the outer race and roller of the pump end bearing will stay in the housing. These should
now be removed.
c) Remove bearing locknut (and lockwasher where
fitted) and drive off bearings.
6.7.3 Renewable rings
a) When fitted, these should only be removed from
the casing and stuffing box cover when they need
to be replaced.
b) They should be prised out from behind using
levers, or alternatively, carefully drilled followed by
chiselling to split the ring to facilitate removal.
c) Replacement rings should be pressed into position
ensuring they are square within the recess.
6.8 Examination of parts
Used parts must be inspected before assembly to ensure the pump will subsequently run properly. In particular, fault diagnosis is essential to enhance pump and plant reliability.
6.8.1 Casing, seal housing and impeller
Inspect for excessive wear, pitting, corrosion, erosion or damage and any sealing surface irregularities. Replace as necessary.
6.8.2 Shaft and sleeve (if fitted)
Replace if grooved, pitted or worn.
6.8.3 Gaskets and O-rings
After dismantling, discard and replace.
6.8.4 Bearings
It is recommended that bearings are not re-used after any removal from the shaft.
Page 21 of 40 flowserve.com
WPG and WPH USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 26999969 10-12
6.8.5 Bearing isolators, labyrinths or lip seals (if fitted)
The lubricant, bearings and bearing housing seals are to be inspected for contamination and damage. If oil bath lubrication is utilised, these provide useful information on operating conditions within the bearing housing. If bearing damage is not due to normal wear and the lubricant contains adverse contaminants, the cause should be corrected before the pump is returned to service.
If the pump is fitted with lip seals they should be
replaced at overhaul.
Labyrinth seals and bearing isolators should be
inspected for damage but are normally non-wearing parts and can be re-used.
Bearing seals are not totally leak free devices. Oil from these may cause staining adjacent to the bearings.
Inspect the bearing carrier circlip groove. Ensure it is free from damage and that housing lubrication
passages are clear.
Replace grease nipples or the filter breather (where
fitted) if damaged or clogged.
On oil lubricated versions, the oil level sight glass
should be replaced if oil stained.
6.9 Assembly
To assemble the pump, consult the sectional drawings. (See section 8, Parts lists and drawings.)
Ensure threads, gasket and O-ring mating faces are clean. Apply thread sealant to non-face sealing pipe thread fittings.
6.9.1 Bearing housing and rotating element assembly
a) Clean the inside of the bearing housing, bearing
carrier and bores for bearings.
b) Attach bearing housing support foot. c) Press drive side bearing(s) on to shaft. If duplex
bearings are to be fitted, these must be mounted
back-to-back, as shown below:
The following methods are recommended for fitting the
bearings onto the shaft:
Method 1. Use a hotplate, hot bath, oven or induction heater to heat the bearing race so it can easily be placed in position then allowed to shrink and grip the shaft. It is important that the temperature is not raised
above 100°C (212°F).
Method 2. Press the bearing onto the shaft using equipment that can provide a steady, even load to the inner race. Take care to avoid damage to the bearing
and shaft. a) Fit bearing locknut (and lockwasher where
applicable).
b) On grease lubricated pumps, pack the bearings
with grease and pack the bearing cover cavity
approximately one third full with grease.
c) Insert the shaft, complete with bearings, into the
bearing housing/frame towards the pump end.
d) When fitting a labyrinth flinger, the groove in the
pump end bearing cover should be filled with grease and the labyrinth flinger positioned to give a clearance of 0.5 to 0.65 mm in front of the bearing cover. Screws for the drive end bearing cover should be tightened uniformly to 6.8 Nm
(5 lbfft). e) Refit the liquid thrower. f) Fit the shaft sleeve (if applicable) ensuring the
O-seal ring is correctly fitted.
6.9.2 Packed gland units
a) The stuffing box should be packed with good quality
packing suitable for the liquid being handled. b) Assemble the gland packing into the stuffing box
housing before fitting on to the shaft. c) Stagger the joints in the gland packing by 90
degrees to each other. d) The lantern ring halves (if required) should be
positioned mid-way along the packing. e) Position the gland squarely against the last ring
and tighten the gland nuts finger-tight only. f) Install into bearing housing assembly and fit the
two screws to hold the seal housing in place. g) Check that the shaft rotates freely.
6.9.3 Seal housing and seal assembly
a) Extreme cleanliness is required. The sealing
faces and shaft or sleeve surface must be free
from scratches or other damage. b) Carefully press the stationary seat into the
mechanical seal housing or cover, ensuring that
the seating ring is not deformed. c) Where an anti-rotation pin is fitted ensure that
correct engagement with the slot is achieved.
d) Place any separate seal covers over the shaft.

e) Set the seal to the same position as marked when
dis-assembling the unit or refer to manufacturer's
instructions to position the mechanical seal
rotating elements on the shaft or sleeve.
f) Tighten any drive screws in the seal drive collar. g) For precise compression most cartridge seals
should be set after complete pump assembly.
h) Refit the seal plate and check that the seal is not
over-compressed or locked up solid.
i) Fit new casing gasket and refit the complete
stuffing box cover/bearing housing unit to the
pump casing. Coat the screws with anti-galling compound and tighten into casing.
6.9.4 Rotary oil seals
a) Oil lip seals are not totally leak free devices and oil
leaking from a bearing housing can be visually unpleasant in a clean pump room. Very careful fitting practice for lip seals is therefore essential. Particular attention must be paid to protecting the seal from keyways by using shimming or tape and careful handling of the shaft to avoid even fine
longitudinal scratches.
b) Perfectly assembled oil seals can have a leakage
rate from almost zero to 40 mg/hr. This is equivalent to approximately 2 drops per hour and at this rate the constant level oiler would need
filling only once every 6 months.
c) Fit oil seal carefully into position and refit the drive
side bearing cover and screws and tighten up.
d) Refit coupling key and pump half coupling using
heat, if necessary, to facilitate fitting. Do not hammer the pump half coupling onto the shaft as this will cause loading and damage to the bearings.
e) Rotate pump shaft by hand to check for freedom
of rotation.
6.9.5 Refit to baseplate
a) Refit pump to baseplate and check coupling
alignment as described in section 4.7, Final shaft
alignment check.
b) Refit all safety guards and ensure all other items
have been re-attached and all fasteners tightened. as section 6.6, Fastener torques,
