Pump description
The Goulds Model 3393 is a radially split, segmented casing, multistage pump designed with
modular interstage components. These identical components can be assembled to produce
pumps of varying numbers of stages, hydraulics, materials, and configurations to meet the
customer's specific requirements. Its multiple suction nozzle and discharge nozzle orientations
allow the 3393 to adapt to multiple piping installations and provide the piping designer with
flexibility in plant layout. Multiple hydraulics for each pump size optimize efficiency across a
vast range of applications. All intermediate stage components are identical which reduces
spare parts inventory.
The 3393 is designed as a two-pole speed pump. There will be times when the pump will be
operated at variable speed. The 3393 can be operated between 2700 and 3600 rpm without
reference to the factory. At speeds above 3600 rpm and below 2700 rpm, a lateral critical
speed analysis must be conducted by the factory. Contact your local representative for pricing.
In all cases it is imperative that the pump be brought up to its minimum operating speed as
quickly as possible. This ramp up time should not exceed 5 seconds.

Baseplate-mounting procedures
Prepare the baseplate for mounting
This procedure assumes you have a basic knowledge of baseplate and foundation design and
installation methods. Follow industry-standard procedures, such as API RP 686/ PIP REIE 686,
or this procedure before you grout the baseplate.
1. Make sure that all baseplate surfaces that will contact grout are free from contamination
such as rust, oil, and grime.
2. Thoroughly clean all baseplate surfaces that will come in contact with grout.
Make sure to use a cleaner that will not leave residue.
NOTICE:
You may need to sandblast the surfaces of a baseplate that come in contact with grout, and
then coat those surfaces with a primer that is grout-compatible. Make sure to remove all
equipment before sandblasting.
3. Make sure that all machined surfaces are free from burrs, rust, paint, or any other type of
contamination.
If necessary, use a honing stone to remove burrs.
20Model 3393 Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
Prepare the foundation for mounting
1. Chip the top of the foundation to a minimum of 1.0 in. (25.0 mm) in order to remove porous
or low-strength concrete.
If you use a pneumatic hammer, make sure that it does not contaminate the surface with oil
or other moisture.
NOTICE:
Do not chip the foundation using heavy tools such as jackhammers. This can damage the
structural integrity of the foundation.
2. Remove water or debris from the foundation bolt holes or sleeves.
3. If the baseplate uses sleeve-type bolts, then fill the sleeves with a non-binding, moldable
material. Seal the sleeves in order to prevent the grout from entering.
4. Coat the exposed portion of the anchor bolts with a non-bonding compound such as paste
wax in order to prevent the grout from adhering to the anchor bolts.
Do not use oils or liquid wax.
5. If recommended by the grout manufacturer, coat the foundation surface with a compatible
primer.
Install and level the baseplate
NOTICE:Illustrations are for reference only and may not depict the particular pump model.

Figure 6: Jackscrew locations, top view
1. Lower the baseplate carefully onto the foundation bolts.
The baseplate will rest on top of the foundation on the jackscrews provided on the
baseplate.
2. Adjust the leveling jackscrews, located adjacent to the foundation bolt holes, until the
baseplate rests 1 to 2 in. (25 to 50 mm) above the foundation in order to allow for adequate
grouting.
This provides even support for the baseplate after grouting.
3. Level the baseplate to within 0.002 in./ft. (0.167 mm/m) of the length or width of the
baseplate by adjusting the jackscrews.
• The maximum total variation from one end or side of the baseplate to the other is
0.015 in. (0.38 mm).
• Use the equipment mounting surfaces in order to establish the level.
4. Use a non-bonding (anti-seize) compound such as paste wax to coat the portions of the
jackscrews that will contact the grout.

5. Thread the nuts onto the foundation bolts and hand-tighten.
Install the pump, driver and coupling
1. Mount and fasten the pump on the baseplate. Use applicable bolts.
NOTICE:Two tapered dowel pins are provided in case there is a need to provide
repeatable location between the pump and base plate. Installation of the dowel pins is not
mandatory.
2. Mount the driver on the baseplate.
3. Install the coupling. See the installation instructions from the coupling manufacturer.
4. If the pump baseplate has a slot for high temperature dowelling the following must be
performed after final alignment.
a) Verify that the parallel dowel has been installed in the center of the pump foot furthest
from the drive end. It should locate fully in a slot parallel to the shaft that has been
machined in the base plate.
b) Torque the bolts closest to the driver to the standard values.
c) Torque the bolts on the outboard end to 15% of the standard value. This will allow the
pump to expand axially with increasing temperature while maintaining pump to driver
alignment.
5. If repeatable location of the pump to base plate is desired perform either 5.a. or 5.b.
a) For pumps without high temperature doweling, drill through each pump foot (drive end
and non drive end), into the base plate then taper ream to suit the supplied taper dowel
pins.
b) For pumps fitted with high temperature doweling, drill through the drive end pump foot
into the base plate then taper ream to suit the supplied taper dowel pin. Discard the
unused taper dowel pin.

Alignment checks
When to perform alignment checks
You must perform alignment checks under these circumstances:
• The process temperature changes.
• The piping changes.
• The pump has been serviced.
Types of alignment checks
Type of checkWhen it is used
Initial alignment (cold alignment) Prior to operation when the pump and the driver are at ambient
checktemperature.
Final alignment (hot alignment)After operation when the pump and the driver are at operating
checktemperature.
Initial alignment (cold alignment) checks
WhenWhy
Before you grout the baseplateThis ensures that alignment can be accomplished.
After you grout the baseplateThis ensures that no changes have occurred during the grouting
After you connect the pipingThis ensures that pipe strains have not altered the alignment.

If changes have occurred, you must alter the piping to remove pipe
strains on the pump flanges.

are at operating temperature.
Permitted indicator values for alignment checks
NOTICE:
The specified permitted reading values shown in the tables are valid only for motors with the
temperature rise noted. For other drivers such as steam turbines, engines or motors with a
different temperature rise, the correct settings must be recalculated. If the pump is driven
through a speed reduction or speed increasing gear, contact the factory. You must use the
correct tolerances. Failure to do so can result in misalignment and reduced pump reliability.

NOTICE:A positive value indicates that the pump shaft should be set higher than the motor
shaft; a negative value indicates that the pump shaft should be set lower than the motor shaft.

Attach the dial indicators for alignment
You must have two dial indicators in order to complete this procedure.
1. Attach two dial indicators on the pump coupling half (X):
a) Attach one indicator (P) so that the indicator rod comes into contact with the perimeter
of the driver coupling half (Y).
This indicator is used to measure parallel misalignment.

Installation
b) Attach the other indicator (A) so that the indicator rod comes into contact with the inner
end of the driver coupling half.
This indicator is used to measure angular misalignment.
2. Rotate the pump coupling half (X) in order to check that the indicators are in contact with
the driver coupling half (Y) but do not bottom out.
3. Adjust the indicators if necessary.
Perform angular alignment for a vertical correction
Illustrations are for reference only and may not depict the particular pump model.
1. Set the angular alignment indicator to zero at the top-center position (12 o’clock) of the
driver coupling half (Y).
2. Rotate the indicator to the bottom-center position (6 o’clock).
3. Record the indicator reading.

4. Repeat the previous steps until the permitted reading value is achieved.
Perform parallel alignment for a vertical correction
Refer to the alignment table in "Permitted indicator values for alignment checks" (see Table of
Contents for location of table) for the proper cold alignment value based on the motor
temperature rise and the pump operating temperature.
Before you start this procedure, make sure that the dial indicators are correctly set up.
A unit is in parallel alignment when the parallel indicator (P) does not vary by more than
0.002 in. (0.05 mm) as measured at four points 90° apart at the operating temperature.
1. Set the parallel alignment indicator (P) to zero at the top-center position (12 o’clock) of the
driver coupling half (Y).
2. Rotate the indicator to the bottom-center position (6 o’clock).
3. Record the indicator reading.
