1.6 Safety

1.6.1 Summary of safety markings

These User Instructions contain specific safety
markings where non-observance of an instruction would
cause hazards. The specific safety markings are:

This symbol indicates electrical safety
instructions where non-compliance will involve a high
risk to personal safety or the loss of life.

This symbol indicates safety instructions where
non-compliance would affect personal safety and
could result in loss of life.

This symbol indicates “hazardous and toxic fluid”
safety instructions where non-compliance would affect
personal safety and could result in loss of life.

This symbol indicates safety
instructions where non-compliance will involve some
risk to safe operation and personal safety and would
damage the equipment or property.

This symbol indicates explosive atmosphere
zone marking according to ATEX. 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.

NEVER DO MAINTENANCE WORK

WHEN THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO POWER

GUARDS MUST NOT BE REMOVED WHILE

THE PUMP IS OPERATIONAL

DRAIN THE PUMP AND ISOLATE PIPEWORK
BEFORE DISMANTLING THE PUMP
The appropriate safety precautions should be taken
where the pumped liquids are hazardous.

FLUORO-ELASTOMERS (When fitted.)
When a pump has experienced temperatures over
250 ºC (482 ºF), partial decomposition of fluoro­elastomers (example: Viton) will occur. In this
condition these are extremely dangerous and skin
contact must be avoided.

HANDLING COMPONENTS
Many precision parts have sharp corners and the
wearing of appropriate safety gloves and equipment
is required when handling these components. To lift
heavy pieces above 25 kg (55 lb) use a crane
appropriate for the mass and in accordance with
current local regulations.

THERMAL SHOCK
Rapid changes in the temperature of the liquid within
the pump can cause thermal shock, which can result
in damage or breakage of components and should be
avoided.

APPLYING HEAT TO REMOVE IMPELLER
There may be occasions when the impeller has either
been shrunk fit on to the pump shaft or has become
difficult to remove due to products of corrosion.

If you elect to use heat to remove the impeller, it must
be applied quickly to the impeller boss. TAKE

GREAT CARE!

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.

Page 5 of 32

Before applying heat ensure any residual hazardous
liquid trapped between the impeller and pump shaft is
thoroughly drained out through the impeller keyway to
prevent an explosion or emission of toxic vapour.
This must be carried out with the shaft in the vertical
position. On some pump sizes a cavity exists in the
impeller bore so on occasions a significant volume of
liquid may drain out.

UB USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569247 07-04

®

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 68 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.

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, startup, 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

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.
Both electrical and non-electrical equipment must
meet the requirements of European Directive
94/9/EC.

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 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 affects 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.

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.

1.6.4.2 Marking

An example of ATEX equipment marking is shown
below. The actual classification of the pump will be
engraved on the nameplate.

II 2 GD c 135 ºC (T4)

Equipment Group
I = Mining
II = Non-mining

Category
2 or M2 = High level protection
3 = normal level of protection

Gas and/or Dust
G = Gas; D= Dust

c = Constructional safety
(in accordance with prEn13463-5)

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

Temperature classification “Tx” is used when the
liquid temperature varies and the pump could be
installed in different hazarous atmospheres. In this
case the user is responsible for ensuring that the
pump surface temperature does not exceed that
permitted in the particular hazardous atmosphere.

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.

Where there is any risk of the pump being run against
a closed valve generating high liquid and casing
external surface temperatures it is recommended that
users fit an external surface temperature protection
device.

Avoid mechanical, hydraulic or electrical overload by
using motor overload trips, temperature monitor or a
power monitor and make routine vibration monitoring
checks.

In dirty or dusty environments, regular checks must
be made and dirt removed from areas around close
clearances, bearing housings and motors.

Pumps have a temperature class as stated in the
ATEX Ex rating on the nameplate. These are based
on a maximum ambient of 40 ºC (104 ºF); refer to
Flowserve for higher ambient temperatures.

The surface temperature on the pump is influenced
by the temperature of the liquid handled. The
maximum permissible liquid temperature depends on
the temperature class and must not exceed the
values in the table that follows.

The temperature rise at the 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.

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 the fitting of an appropriate dry run
protection device is recommended (for example liquid
detection or a power monitor).

To avoid potential hazards from fugitive emissions of
vapour or gas to atmosphere the surrounding area
must be well ventilated.

1.6.4.5 Preventing sparks

To prevent a potential hazard from mechanical
contact, the coupling guard must be non-sparking
and anti-static for Category 2.

Page 7 of 32

UB USER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH 71569247 07-04

®

To avoid the potential hazard from random induced
current generating a spark, the earth contact on the
baseplate must be used.

Avoid electrostatic charge: do not rub non-metallic
surfaces with a dry cloth; ensure cloth is damp.

The coupling must be selected to comply with 94/9/EC
and correct alignment must be maintained.

1.6.4.6 Preventing leakage

The pump must only be used to handle liquids
for which it has been approved to have the correct
corrosion resistance.

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.

1.7 Warning labels summary

1.7.1 Nameplate

For details of nameplate, see the Declaration of
Conformity, or separate documentation included with

these User Instructions.

1.7.2 Warning labels

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, the installation of a liquid detection device is
recommended.

1.6.4.7 Maintenance to avoid the hazard

CORRECT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED TO
AVOID POTENTIAL HAZARDS WHICH GIVE A
RISK OF EXPLOSION

The responsibility for compliance with
maintenance instructions is with the plant
operator.

To avoid potential explosion hazards during
maintenance, the tools, cleaning and painting
materials used must not give rise to sparking or
adversely affect the ambient conditions. Where there
is a risk from such tools or materials, maintenance
must be conducted in a safe area.

It is recommended that a maintenance plan and
schedule is adopted. (See section 6, Maintenance.)

Oil lubricated units only:

1.8 Specific machine performance
