limiting noise level when the equipment was ordered,
1.7.2 Safety labels 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.

the prescribed limit, then site noise measurements
should be made.

Cone Type Strainer
The FLOWSERVE recommendation for suction

strainers consists of a conical shaped steel plate. The
plate has 1.6 mm (1/16 in.) perforations and is of
sufficient size and thickness for the required flow.
See Figure above.
Other type of strainers may be used as long as they

conform to the requirements stated above.
Pressure gauges should be installed on both sides of

the screen so that the pressure drop across the
screen can be measured.
When the unit is being started, the gauges on each

side of the screen should be carefully watched. An
increase in the differential pressure between the two
gauges indicates that the screen is becoming clogged
with dirt and scale. At this point, the pump should be
shut down, and the screen cleaned and/or replaced.

Other drivers and gearboxes, if appropriate, should

be lubricated in accordance with their manuals.
When fitted with a constant level oiler [3855], the

bearing housing [3200] should be filled by unscrewing
or hinging back the transparent bottle and filling it with
oil. The standard Adams oilers and the Trico Watchdog
oilers are self-setting and internally vent balanced.

* Note that it normally takes 2 hours for bearing temperature to stabilize and the final temperature will depend on the ambient, r/min,
pumpage temperature and pump size. Also some oils have a greater viscosity index than the minimum acceptable of 95 which may
extend the minimum temperature capability of the oil. Always check the grade capability where the ambient is less than -5 ºC (23 ºF).
†
Use LSC for oil mist. Oil parameters provide flash point >166 ºC (331 ºF), density >0.87 @ 15 ºC (59 ºF), pour point of -10 ºC (14 ºF) or
lower.
** Normal compounded oils CANNOT be used with oil mist as anti-foam additives need to be avoided. Most oils recommended for
wet splash lubrication contain foam inhibitors as well as antioxidants and anticorrosion additives, so they are unsuitable for oil mist.
Some synthetic lubricants may attack the Nitrile seals used in a regular bearing housing. The LSC LSO oils are recommended for
oil mist applications. We recommend using Royal Purple SYNFILM in one of the above ISO VG designations if synthetic oil is
required for splash bath lubrication to avoid changing to Viton seals in the bearing housing. It is available in the EU from Renox
