Cooling water shall be on the casing side. Minimum tube wall thickness shall be 1,24 mm (0,049 inch). 17.2.10 Proposal Data a. (5.1.a) Seller s filledout proposal data sheet shall show wear ring clearances and diameters of proposed pumps for pumping temperature 260 C (500 F) or higher. (5.1.f) Seller shall submit cooler design details. (5.1.h) For pumps rated over 375 KW (500 HP), Seller s proposal shall include proof of compliance with par. 1.2. (5.1.h) If high temperature mechanical seals are proposed, per par. (2.7.1.11), Seller shall submit an installation list demonstrating satisfactory experience.

Substitutions
Add to the following Requirements those, in the set of requirements given for medium duty centrifugal pumps.

17.3.1

Performance a. (2.1.2) Pumps handling cold liquids, at 45 C (112 F) or lower, shall be vertical pumps or submerged pumps. Vertical pumps shall have a vapor space with a heat dam and seal oil drip catching device with drain between the mechanical seal and the pumped liquid.

17.3.2

Casing a. (2.2.3) Areas of multistage horizontal and double case pumps which are normally subjected to suction pressure shall be designed to permit, as a minimum, a hydrostatic test pressure equal to the maximum casing discharge pressure. (2.2.7) Casings of inline pumps shall be split perpendicular to the shaft and shall not require the rigid support of a foundation. The design of inline pumps shall permit removal of the rotor without disconnecting the main piping. Casing joint gaskets for pumping temperatures above 315 C (600 F) shall be metaljacketed and shall be confined at the vertical split.

b.

17.3.3

Nozzles and Connections a. (2.3.2.9) Flange connections shall be designed for through bolting.

17.3.4

Wear Rings a. (2.6.1) Casings shall be fitted with renewable wearing rings.

17.3.5

Mechanical Seals a. (2.7.1.10) If cooling is required to maintain the mechanical seal within its temperature limitations, the pump Seller shall provide water cooled stuffing boxes or a cooler to cool flushing fluid from the pump discharge.

17.3.6

Dynamics a. (2.8.4.7), (2.8.4.8) & (2.8.4.9) The peaktopeak amplitude of vibration during shop test and field operation shall not exceed the following values:
PEAKTOPEAK AMPLITUDE (Unfiltered)

MAXIMUM rev/min 5000 5000 to 20000 20000

SPEED rev/s 83 83 to 335 335

ANTIFRICTION mils 2.5

SLEEVE mils 2.0 10000 Shaft Speed Rev min 0.5

BEARINGS (2)(3)(4) mm 0.05 167 Shaft Speed Rev s 0.013

Notes: 1. Measured on bearing housing. 2. Measured on shaft (adjacent to the bearing) and includes runout. 3. If vibration cannot be measured on the shaft, vibration shall be measured on the bearing housing and these same limits apply. 4. For vertical pumps without antifriction bearings, these same limits apply as measured on the lower bearing housing of the driver and on the driver adapter frame. 17.3.7 Bearings a. 17.3.8 (2.9.2.5) Cooling coils shall be inhibited admiralty brass. Pipe connections inside the bearing housing are prohibited.

Mounting Plates a. (3.3.1.8) Baseplate grouting holes shall be accessible without removing the machinery and shall permit filling of the entire cavity under the baseplate without trapping air pockets. (3.3.1.13) Pedestal cooling shall not be provided.

b. 17.3.9

Piping and Appurtenances a. (3.5.1.2) When auxiliary piping is common to both pump and driver, the Owner will specify the extend of piping to be supplied by each Seller.

17.3.10

Hydrostatic Test a. (4.3.2.1) Suction sections of multistage horizontal and doublecase pumps shall have a hydrostatic test pressure equal to maximum casing discharge pressure. (4.3.2.1.b) Mechanical seal flushing liquid coolers shall be hydrostatically tested to the same pressure as the pump casing.
