conditions. When the Contract requirement specifies
these to be incorporated into user instructions these
are included here. Where performance data has been
supplied separately to the purchaser these should be
obtained and retained with these user instructions if
required.
1.9 Noise level

Attention must be given to the exposure of personnel
to the noise, and local legislation will define when
guidance to personnel on noise limitation is required,
and when noise exposure reduction is mandatory.
This is typically 80 to 85 dBA.
The usual approach is to control the exposure time to

the noise or to enclose the machine to reduce
emitted sound. You may have already specified a
limiting noise level when the equipment was ordered,
however if no noise requirements were defined, then
attention is drawn to the following table to give an
indication of equipment noise level so that you can
take the appropriate action in your plant.
Pump noise level is dependent on a number of
operational factors, flow rate, pipework design and
acoustic characteristics of the building, and so the
values given are subject to a 3 dBA tolerance and
cannot be guaranteed.
Similarly the motor noise assumed in the “pump and
motor” noise is that typically expected from standard
and high efficiency motors when on load directly
driving the pump. Note that a motor driven by an
inverter may show an increased noise at some
speeds.
If a pump unit only has been purchased for fitting with
your own driver then the “pump only” noise levels in
the table should be combined with the level for the
driver obtained from the supplier. Consult Flowserve
or a noise specialist if assistance is required in
combining the values.
It is recommended that where exposure approaches
the prescribed limit, then site noise measurements
should be made.
The values are in sound pressure level LpA at 1 m
(3.3 ft) from the machine, for “free field conditions
over a reflecting plane”.
For estimating sound power level LWA (re 1 pW) then
add 14 dBA to the sound pressure value.

- Background noise is 10dB minimum below all noise levels in each octave band.
- The values shown are at a distance of 1 meter (horizontally) from the major pump surface and
1,5 meters above the floor, using a standard pressure reference of 0,00002 newton per square meter

4.5.5 Warm up requirements

A warm up arrangement is a means for maintaining
an idle pump at approximate uniform temperature.
We recommend a warm up procedure for liquid
temperatures above 150°C (302°F).
Most commonly this arises when the pump is in boiler

experience a gradual increase in water temperature
after the boiler is fired and the unit warms up.
However, when a second pump is to be put on the
line, it is desirable to first bring it nearly to the
prevailing feed water temperature by circulating water
through it before it is started. Likewise, when a pump
has been in operation and is taken off the line and
shutdown, it is essential that water be circulated
through it to maintain a uniform temperature.
Otherwise it results in distortion of the close-running
