GENERAL
Procedures for installation described within this section cations, including API Recommended Practice 686/
are general in nature. It is assumed that the installer PIP (Process Industry Practices) REIE 686,
has a basic knowledge of acceptable methods. More “Recommended Practices for Machinery Installation
detailed procedures are described in various publi- and Installation Design.”

SITE/FOUNDATION
A pump should be located near the supply of liquid Baseplate mounted pumps are normally grouted on a

and inspection. Be sure to allow for crane or hoist solid footing. The foundation must be able to absorb
service. any vibration and to form a permanent, rigid support
for the pumping unit.

3700-8th IOM 12/04 13

The location and size of foundation bolts are shown
on the outline assembly drawing provided with the
pump data package.
Foundation bolts commonly used are sleeve type
(Fig. 6) and J type. If using the sleeve type, the inside
diameter of the sleeve should be 2 1/2 - 3 times the bolt
diameter. A washer should be placed between the bolt
head and the sleeve. Both foundation bolt types permit
movement for final bolt adjustment.

properly.
2. To prevent premature pump failure at initial
Fig. 11 start-up due to dirt or debris in the pipe system,
ensure the pump can be run continuously at full
speed and flow for 2 to 3 hours.
3. Variable speed drivers should be brought to rated
speed as quickly as possible.
4. Variable speed drivers should not be adjusted or
checked for speed governor or overspeed trip
settings while coupled to the pump at initial
start-up. If settings have not been verified,
uncouple the unit and refer to driver
manufacturer’s instructions for assistance.
5. Running a new or rebuilt pump at slow speeds
may not provide enough flow to adequately flush
and cool the wear ring and seal chamber cover
bushing close running surfaces.
6. Pumpage temperatures in excess of 93° C (200° F)
will require warm-up of pump prior to operation.
Circulate a small amount of pumpage through the
pump until the casing temperature is within 56° C
(100° F) of the pumpage temperature and evenly
heated.

WEAR RINGS (164, 202, 203, 230)

All units are equipped with casing (164), impeller (202
and 203) and seal chamber cover wear rings (230).
When clearances between the rings become
excessive, hydraulic performance decreases
substantially.
1. Measure all wear ring diameters
(Figs. 28, 29, 30).
2. Calculate diametral wear ring clearances.
Minimum diametral clearances should be as
shown in Table 6.
3. Replace wear rings when diametral clearance
exceeds two times the minimum clearance as
shown in Table 6 or when the hydraulic
performance has decreased to unacceptable
levels. Refer to Renewal of Wear Parts for
replacement instructions for wear rings.
Fig. 28

3700-8th IOM 12/04 39

 NOTE: For operating temperatures above
260° C (500° F) and for materials with greater
galling tendencies (e.g. stainless steel),
increase diametral clearance dimensions by
0.13 mm (.005 in.).

SEAL CHAMBER COVER (184)

Seal chamber cover is available in two versions: one
(optional) has a cooling chamber and water jacket
cover (490) and the other (standard) does not. The
(optional) cooled version is used when elevated
Fig. 29 pumpage temperatures are present.
1. Ensure all gasekt/O-ring sealing surfaces are
clean and have no damage that would hinder or
prevent sealing (Fig. 31).
2. Ensure all cooling (where applicable), flush and
drain passages are clear.
3. Inspect other surfaces for damage. Replace if
worn, damaged or corroded more than 3.2 mm
( 18 in.) deep.
4. Measure inside diameter of seal chamber cover
bushing (125). If the diametral clearance
between it and the impeller hub (101) exceeds
1.20 mm (.047 in.), one or both parts should be
replaced. Refer to Renewal of Wear Parts for
replacement instructions for seal chamber
cover bushing.

RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 65

When ordering spare parts, always state Goulds serial number, and indicate part name and
item number from relevant sectional drawing. It is imperative for service reliability to have a
sufficient stock of readily available spares.

RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS

It is suggested that the following spare parts be stocked, where applicable:
• Thrust Bearing (Duplex Pair) (112) • Casing Gasket (351)
• Oil Rings (114) • Radial Bearing End Cover Gasket (360)
• Throat Bushing - Seal Chamber Cover (125) • Thrust Bearing End Cover Gaskets (360A)
