III. PUMP CONSTRUCTION
Each pump shall be designed for clockwise rotation viewed from driven end and include the following design features.
A. PUMP END COMPONENTS
A.1. Casing
The pump casing shall be spiral volute type, back pull-out design with ANSI Class 125 flat faced flanged suction
and discharge connections above 2½" size and shall be constructed of Cast Iron, ASTM A48 CL30 material.
The pump discharge nozzle shall be tangentially oriented.
The complete pump unit shall be supported by the power frame.
A pump casing drain shall be provided with a (zinc plated steel) pipe plug.
A.2. Wear Ring
Replaceable casing and seal housing wear ring of , (Cast Iron ASTM A48 CL20 or Lead Free Bismuth
Bronze) shall be provided and held securely by means of interference fits.
A.3. Impeller
The pump impeller shall be of enclosed design, constructed of , (Cast Iron ASTM A48 CL20 or Lead
Free Sil-Brass ASTM B584) material and key driven. A stainless steel bolt and washer shall provide positive
attachment of the impeller to the motor shaft.
A.4. Seal Housing/Adapter
The seal housing and motor adapter shall be of 1-piece design, constructed of Cast Iron, ASTM A48 CL20.
Registered mating fits to the pump casing and power frame shall maintain positive unit alignment and support.
Sealing of casing pressure shall be maintained by an “O-ring” of BUNA-N, EPR or Viton material. Motor and casing
connection shall be held securely by means of grade 5, high strength hex cap screws. A bottom drainage port
shall be provided to allow condensation or seal leakage to drain and not be retained within the adapter.
 A.5. Mechanical Seal
The pump shaft seal shall be a John Crane Type 21 mechanical seal or equal constructed of the following
materials. Packed box shaft sealing is also available.
Stationary Rotating Metal
Seal Type
Face Face Elastomers Components
Standard Ceramic BUNA-N
Option Carbon EPR
18-8 SS
Option Sil-Carbide
Viton
Option Sil-Carbide

A.6. Shaft Sleeve

The pump shaft sleeve shall be constructed of AISI Type 303 stainless steel and shall be of the hook type design,
locked in place by the impeller without necessity of other mechanical locking devices.
B. PUMP POWER FRAME ASSEMBLY
The pump shall be supported by means of a foot mounted, cast iron ASTM A48 CL20 power frame which carries all thrust
and radial loads imposed by the pump with a minimum B-10 life of 50,000 hours at an operating speed of 1750 FL RPM.
Components of the power frame shall meet the following specifications:
B.1. Bearings
Ball type, grease lubricated thrust and radial bearings with provision for periodic regreasing. The outboard
bearing shall carry all pump thrust load and shall be locked in place on the pump shaft by means of a bearing
locknut and locking washer.
B.2. Pump Shaft
The pump shaft shall be constructed of ASTM A108 Carbon Steel with bearing shoulder fits.
B.3. Bearing Assembly and Shaft Seals
Both inboard and outboard ball bearings shall be protected from entry of pumpage, washdown water or grit by
means of BUNA-N lip seals. In addition the inboard bearing end shall be further protected from contaminants by
means of a BUNA-N rubber deflector ring.
B.4. Bearing Cover
The shaft and bearing assembly shall be locked in position by an outboard bearing cover constructed of ASIM
A48 CL20 cast iron.
IV. BEDPLATE
A rigid, channel type carbon steel bedplate shall be provided which maintains support and alignment of the complete pump
and drive motor assembly. The unit bedplate shall be suitable for anchor bolt floor mounting and include provision for grouting
in place by the installing contractor.
V. DRIVE COUPLING
A spacer type coupling allowing utilization of back pullout maintenance feature shall be provided for pump to drive motor
connection. The coupling shall be key driven type T.B. Woods type "SC" or equal.
VI. COUPLING GUARD
All rotating components of the drive assembly shall be protected by means of a formed metal coupling guard designed to
OSHA specifications and bolted in place on the unit bedplate.
VII. ELECTRIC MOTOR
The pump drive motor shall be non-overloading of NEMA standard design T-frame suitable for horizontal mounting and
coupling connection to the pump unit as described above. The motor rating shall be:
__________ HP,________ RPM,____________phase,_____________ Hz,___________ volts
Totally enclosed, fan cooled enclosure. 1.15 Service Factor, High Efficiency.
VIII. TESTING
A. Each pump casing shall be hydrostatically tested by the manufacturer in accordance with Hydraulic Institute Standards at
250 PSIG.
B. Production performance testing will be conducted by the manufacturer on each pump unit. Head at three operating points
(70% of BEP, BEP and 120% of BEP) will be measured at design speed to verify performance.
