2. SHAFT SIZING Determine shaft size required according to the pump total down thrust. As a rule of thumb, if your pump is less than 20ft long and your total head is less than 200ft, your Thrust will rarely go above 5000lbs. If you have extreme condition (long pump, high head, many impellers) it is recommended to do the following calculation: (Impeller weight x Number of Stages) + Shaft Weight + (K Factor x Feet of Head) = TOTAL THRUST Then verify table of LINESHAFT AND BOWL SHAFT HP RATING : Example: For a Total Down Thrust is 1500 lbs and your pump requires a 75HP motor at 1760 RPM you should use at least a 1-1/4 shaft size. If the HP limit is close to your required HP, use the next shaft size. SHAFT DIA. SPEED RPM 1170 1760 3520 1170 1760 3520 TOTAL THRUST (LBS) 2000 45 67 134 87 131 262

3. COLUMN SIZING Standard column size indicated on the curve data sheet should be used and verified against the TURBINE FRICTION LOSS TABLE. It is recommended not to exceed 5 feet of friction loss per 100 feet of column for your design flow. If the friction loss value is above 5 feet per 100 feet, than use next column size.

PUMP PRICING
Pricing and selection can be made by using the pricing forms that are included at the end of this section. Use STANDARD PUMP CONSTRUCTION sheet or MODIFIED VERTICAL TURBINE CONSTRUCTION. STANDARD PUMP CONSTRUCTION should be used if your pump requirements corresponds to the description in the FACTORY ASSEMBLED - SHORT COUPLED PUMP section. Otherwise, you the other form needs to be used.
Below 35ft settings, we recommend to use 416SS line shaft instead of C-1045 3.2 Oil lubricated Oil circulates into an enclosing tube to lubricate bearings. It is not recommended on potable water application in case of contamination. Above 100ft settings it is recommended to prevent the lack of lubrication in the upper bearing until the water reaches the top on deep well applications. It is recommended to use rubber spider bearing retainers every 40ft on oil lubricated applications. 4. DISCHARGE HEAD 4.1 Cast Iron Discharge head: Standard heads suitable for most applications. Pump weight (bowl assembly and column assembly) should not exceed the cast iron maximum load as indicated in the selection table. If pump load is too high one of the following change should be considered: Use bigger discharge head Use base plate Use fabricated steel discharge head Cast iron discharge head can accept: Packing for product lubricated pumps Oil lubricated fittings Mechanical seals (Seal box and mechanical seal should be added to the price) Fabricated steel head might be required when using mechanical seals to allow space for spacer coupling. 4.2 Fabricated Discharge head: It is recommended to use these heads when: Particular dimension needs to be met for discharge Pump application is beyond the capacity of the cast iron discharge head Mechanical seal needs to be used if pump head is above 400ft. Fabricated head comes bare with no accessories. Add required accessories from table and mechanical seal if required. 4.3 Below surface Discharge Head: When below ground discharge is required. Head is fabricated steel and comes with accessories for packing box and packing or mechanical seal housing (add mechanical seal). 5. BASE PLATE Base plates are used to set the pump on a concrete base. Base plates are selected according to the discharge head used and the pit diameter. Fabricated steel discharge head base can be built to fit the pit dimension.

6. MOTOR 6.1 Vertical Hollow Shaft Motor: Most common motor used. Pump is supplied with a C-1045 head shaft to be inserted in the motor and coupled to the pump. Steady bushing can be added if pump is fitted with mechanical seal or for increased stability. 6.2 Vertical Solid Shaft Motor: Motor usually recommended when mechanical seals are used for better stability. It is recommended to: Use spacer coupling for easy of maintenance and installation Use a fabricated head or motor stand for increased space. 7. COATING For certain application, special coating might be required. Coatings would be used for example in sea water applications.

Starting from the bottom, add the following dimensions: Basket strainer is always 5-1/4 Suction case dimension indicated on the curve data sheet Bowl dimension indicated on curve data sheet x number of stages Discharge case indicated on the curve data sheet. Column section: From the discharge case add the pieces of column required to get to the top of the pit. (Bottom of the discharge head.) Between each column section, consider a 1/2 gap for the bearing retainer. Smaller sections should be fitted at the top and bottom on the column.
Minimum submergence: Recommended minimum water level should be approximately 18 above the bottom of the first bowl. The bottom of the strainer should be at least 1/2 x bowl diameter from the bottom of the pit.
