Description of ATEX
The ATEX directives are a specification enforced in Europe for electrical and non-electrical equipment
installed in Europe. ATEX deals with the control of potentially explosive atmospheres and the standards
of equipment and protective systems used within these atmospheres. The relevance of the ATEX re-
quirements is not limited to Europe. You can apply these guidelines to equipment installed in any poten-
tially explosive atmosphere.

Guidelines for compliance


Compliance is fulfilled only when you operate the unit within its intended use. Do not change the condi-
tions of the service without the approval of an ITT representative. When you install or maintain explosion
proof products, always comply with the directive and applicable standards (for example, IEC/EN
60079-14).

1. Monitoring the pump frame and liquid end temperature.


2. Maintaining proper bearing lubrication.

tion, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
1.4 ATEX Considerations and Intended Use

3. Ensuring that the pump is operated in the intended hydraulic range.


The ATEX conformance is only applicable when the pump unit is operated within its intended use. Oper-
ating, installing or maintaining the pump unit in any way that is not covered in the Instruction, Operation,
and Maintenance manual (IOM) can cause serious personal injury or damage to the equipment. This in-
cludes any modification to the equipment or use of parts not provided by ITT Goulds Pumps. If there is
any question regarding the intended use of the equipment, please contact an ITT Goulds representative
before proceeding.
Current IOMs are available at https://www.gouldspumps.com/en-US/Tools-and-Resources/Literature/
IOMs/ or from your local ITT Goulds Pumps Sales representative.
All pumping unit (pump, seal, coupling, motor and pump accessories) certified for use in an ATEX classi-
fied environment, are identified by an ATEX tag secured to the pump or the baseplate on which it is
mounted. A typical tag would look like this:

1.4 ATEX Considerations and Intended Use

WARNING:
• When equipment/pumping unit is installed/operated in a potentially explosive atmosphere,
the instructions after the Ex symbol must be followed and equipment must be installed in
accordance with the following instructions. Personal injury and/or equipment damage
from an explosion may occur if these instructions are not followed. If there is any question
regarding these requirements or if the equipment is to be modified, please contact a
Goulds representative before proceeding.
• Particular care must be taken when the electrical power source to the equipment is ener-
gized.
• Improper impeller adjustment could cause contact between the rotating and stationary
parts, resulting in a spark and heat generation.
• Lock out driver power to prevent electric shock, accidental start-up and physical injury.
• NEVER start pump without proper prime (all models), or proper liquid level in self-priming
pumps (Model 3796 and SP3298).
• All equipment being installed must be properly grounded to prevent unexpected static
electric discharge. This includes ensuring that the PFA lined pumps (Model 3198), ETFE
lined pumps (Model 3298, SP3298, V3298), and the non-metallic liquid end pumps (Mod-
el NM3196) are pumping fluids that are conductive. If not, a static electric discharge may
occur when the pump is drained and disassembled for maintenance purposes
• When pumping fluids with conductivity less than 1000 ps/m follow IEC TS 60079 32-1
guidelines.
• Alignment procedures must be followed to prevent unintended contact of rotating parts.
Follow coupling manufacturer’s installation and operation procedures.
• When installing in a potentially explosive environment, ensure that the motor and acces-
sories are properly certified.
• The impeller clearance setting procedure must be followed. Improperly setting the clear-
ance or not following any of the proper procedures can result in sparks, unexpected heat
generation and equipment damage.
• The impeller and wear ring clearance setting procedures must be followed. Improperly
setting the clearance or not following any of the proper procedures can result in sparks,
unexpected heat generation and equipment damage.
• Service temperature in an ATEX classified environment is limited to the area classification
specified on the ATEX tag affixed to the pump (reference Table 1 in the Safety section for
ATEX classifications).
• The coupling used in an ATEX classified environment must be properly certified.
• The coupling guard used in an ATEX classified environment must be constructed from a
non-sparking material.
• Bearings must be lubricated properly in order to prevent excess heat generation, sparks
and premature failure.
• The mechanical seal used in an ATEX classified environment must be properly certified.
• The mechanical seal must have an appropriate seal flush system. Failure to do so will re-
sult in excess heat generation and seal failure.
• Packed Stuffing Boxes and/or Dynamic Seals are not allowed in an ATEX classified envi-
ronment.
• Pumps that are not self-priming must be fully primed at all times during operation. The
only model lines that are self-priming is the 3796 and SP3298.
• Pumps must be fully primed at all times during operation.
• The preventive maintenance section must be adhered to in order to keep the applicable
ATEX classification of the equipment. Failure to follow these procedures will void the

1.4 ATEX Considerations and Intended Use

ATEX classification for the equipment. Bearing replacement intervals are given in the spe-
cific pump model IOM.
• Inspection intervals should be shortened appropriately if the pumpage is abrasive and/or
corrosive, or if the environment is classified as potentially explosive.
• Throughout this section on bearing lubrication, different pumpage temperatures are listed.
If the equipment is ATEX certified and the listed temperature exceeds the applicable val-
ue shown in Table 1 under SAFETY, then that temperature is not valid. Should this situa-
tion occur, please consult with your ITT/Goulds representative.
• Cooling systems, such as those for bearing lubrication, mechanical seal systems, etc.,
where provided, must be operating properly to prevent excess heat generation, sparks
and premature failure.
• Rotate shaft by hand to ensure it rotates smoothly and there is no rubbing which could
lead to excess heat generation, sparks and premature failure.
• Flange loads from the piping system, including those from thermal expansion of the pip-
ing, must not exceed the limits of the pump. Casing deformation can result in contact with
rotating parts which can result in excess heat generation, sparks and premature failure.
• Ensure that pump and systems are free of foreign objects before operating and that ob-
jects cannot enter the pump during operation. Foreign objects in the pumpage or piping
system can cause blockage of flow which can result in excess heat generation, sparks
and premature failure.
• Do not insulate or allow the bearing housings to accumulate a dust layer as this can result
in excess heat generation, sparks and premature failure.
• Check for magnetism on the pump shaft and demagnetize the shaft if there is any detect-
able magnetism. Magnetism will attract ferritic objects to the impeller, seals and bearings
which can result in excess heat generation, sparks and premature failure.
• Leakage of process liquid may result in creation of an explosive atmosphere. Ensure the
materials of the pump casing, impeller, shaft, sleeves, gaskets and seals are compatible
with the process liquid.
• Leakage of process liquid may result in creation of an explosive atmosphere. Follow all
pump and seal assembly procedures.
• A buildup of gases within the pump, sealing system and or process piping system may
result in an explosive environment within the pump or process piping system. Ensure
process piping system, pump and sealing system are properly vented prior to operation.
• Sealing systems that are not self purging or self venting, such as plan 23, require manual
venting prior to operation. Failure to do so will result in excess heat generation and seal
failure.
• Do not apply additional paint or coatings to the pump when in an ATEX environment.
Static electric discharge can be initiated when contacting or rubbing surfaces with exces-
sive coating thickness.
• Potential electrostatic charging hazard. Do not rub, clean, or blast equipment with dry
cloth or dry media.
• Stray electrical currents may ignite explosive atmospheres. Ensure drives are certified for
variable frequency drive operation by the manufacturer.
• User shall observe necessity of using a safety device, such as a flame arrestor, to prevent
flame entering or leaving the pump sump, tank, or barrel when applicable.
• For variable speed motor applications, the electric motor must be specified with shaft
grounding and used with a conductive type coupling suitable for the area classification.
• In plants or pumps with cathodic corrosion protection, a small current constantly flows
through the construction. This is not permissible on the complete pump or partially-as-
sembled machinery without further precautions being taken. ITT should be consulted in
this context.

4.2 Baseplate-mounting procedures


4.2.1 Prepare the baseplate for mounting
This procedure assumes you have a basic knowledge of baseplate and foundation design and installa-
tion methods. Follow industry-standard procedures, such as API RP 686/ PIP REIE 686, or this proce-
dure before you grout the baseplate.
1. Make sure that all baseplate surfaces that will contact grout are free from contamination such as
rust, oil, and grime.
2. Thoroughly clean all baseplate surfaces that will come in contact with grout.
Make sure to use a cleaner that will not leave residue.

NOTICE:
• You may need to sandblast the surfaces of a baseplate that come in contact with grout,
and then coat those surfaces with a primer that is grout-compatible. Make sure to re-
move all equipment before sandblasting.

NOTICE:
Remove all dirt from the mounting pads in order to ensure that the correct
leveling is achieved. Failure to do so can result in equipment damage or de-
creased performance.

3. Make sure that all machined surfaces are free from burrs, rust, paint, or any other type of contami-
nation.
If necessary, use a honing stone to remove burrs.

tion, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
4.2 Baseplate-mounting procedures

4.2.2 Prepare the foundation for mounting


1. Chip the top of the foundation to a minimum of 25.0 mm | 1.0 in. in order to remove porous or low-
strength concrete.
If you use a pneumatic hammer, make sure that it does not contaminate the surface with oil or other
moisture.

NOTICE:
Do not chip the foundation using heavy tools such as jackhammers. This can damage the
structural integrity of the foundation.

2. Remove water or debris from the foundation bolt holes or sleeves.


3. If the baseplate uses sleeve-type bolts, then fill the sleeves with a non-binding, moldable material.
Seal the sleeves in order to prevent the grout from entering.
4. Coat the exposed portion of the anchor bolts with a non-bonding compound such as paste wax in
order to prevent the grout from adhering to the anchor bolts.
Do not use oils or liquid wax.
5. If recommended by the grout manufacturer, coat the foundation surface with a compatible primer.

4.2.3 Install and level the baseplate

4.3 Install the pump, driver, and coupling

Figure 12: Jackscrew locations, top view


1. Lower the baseplate carefully onto the foundation bolts.
The baseplate will rest on top of the foundation on the jackscrews provided on the baseplate.
2. Adjust the leveling jackscrews, located adjacent to the foundation bolt holes, until the baseplate
rests 25 to 50 mm | 1 to 2 in. above the foundation in order to allow for adequate grouting.
This provides even support for the baseplate after grouting.
3. Level the baseplate to within 0.167 mm/m | 0.002 in./ft. of the length or width of the baseplate by
adjusting the jackscrews.
• The maximum total variation from one end or side of the baseplate to the other is 0.38 mm |
0.015 in.
• Use the equipment mounting surfaces in order to establish the level.
4. Use a non-bonding (anti-seize) compound such as paste wax to coat the portions of the jackscrews
that will contact the grout.
This facilitates removal of the screws after grouting.

NOTICE:
Do not use oils or liquid wax.

5. Thread the nuts onto the foundation bolts and hand-tighten.

4.3 Install the pump, driver, and coupling


1. Mount and fasten the pump on the baseplate. Use applicable bolts.

Precautions

WARNING:
• Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power may result in serious physical injury or
death. Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before performing any
installation or maintenance tasks.
• Electrical connections must be made by certified electricians in compliance with all
international, national, state, and local rules.
• Refer to driver/coupling/gear manufacturer's installation and operation manuals
(IOM) for specific instructions and recommendations.

Alignment methods
Three common alignment methods are used:
• Dial indicator
• Reverse dial indicator
• Laser
Follow the instructions from the equipment manufacturer when you use the reverse dial indicator or laser
methods. Detailed instructions for using the dial indicator method are contained in this chapter.

4.4.1 Alignment checks


When to perform alignment checks
You must perform alignment checks under these circumstances:
• The process temperature changes.
• The piping changes.
• The pump has been serviced.

Types of alignment checks

Type of check When it is used


Initial alignment (cold alignment) Prior to operation when the pump and the driver are at ambient temperature.
check
Final alignment (hot alignment) check After operation when the pump and the driver are at operating temperature.

Initial alignment (cold alignment) checks

When Why
Before you grout the baseplate This ensures that alignment can be accomplished.
After you grout the baseplate This ensures that no changes have occurred during the grouting process.
After you connect the piping This ensures that pipe strains have not altered the alignment.
If changes have occurred, you must alter the piping to remove pipe strains
on the pump flanges.

4.4 Pump-to-driver alignment

Final alignment (hot alignment) checks

When Why
After the first run This ensures correct alignment when both the pump and the driver are at op-
erating temperature.
Periodically This follows the plant operating procedures.

4.4.2 Permitted indicator values for alignment checks

NOTICE:
The specified permitted reading values are valid only at operating temperature. For cold set-
tings, other values are permitted. The correct tolerances must be used. Failure to do so can
result in misalignment. Contact ITT for further information.

IMPORTANT
• The driver shaft initial (cold) parallel vertical alignment setting should be lower than the pump shaft.
Follow the driver manufacturer's recommendations.
When dial indicators are used to check the final alignment, the pump and drive unit are correctly aligned
when these conditions are true:
• The Total Indicated Reading (T.I.R.) is at 0.05 mm | 0.002 in. or less at operating temperature.
• The tolerance of the indicator is 0.0127 mm per mm | 0.0005 in. per in. of indicator separation for

4.4.4 Attach the dial indicators for alignment


You must have two dial indicators in order to complete this procedure.
1. Attach two dial indicators on the pump coupling half (X):
a) Attach one indicator (P) so that the indicator rod comes into contact with the perimeter of the
driver coupling half (Y).
This indicator is used to measure parallel misalignment.
b) Attach the other indicator (A) so that the indicator rod comes into contact with the inner end of
the driver coupling half.
This indicator is used to measure angular misalignment.

4.6.1 General piping checklist
Precautions

WARNING:
• Risk of serious personal injury or property damage. Fasteners such as bolts and nuts are
critical to the safe and reliable operation of the product. Ensure appropriate use of fasten-
ers during installation or reassembly of the unit.
• Use fasteners of the proper size and material only.
• Replace all corroded fasteners.
• Ensure that all fasteners are properly tightened and that there are no missing fas-
teners.

CAUTION:
Do not move the pump to the pipe. This could make final alignment impossible.

CAUTION:
Never draw piping into place at the flanged connections of the pump. This can impose danger-
ous strains on the unit and cause misalignment between the pump and driver. Pipe strain ad-
versely affects the operation of the pump, which results in physical injury and damage to the
equipment.

Flange loads from the piping system, including those from the thermal expansion of
the piping, must not exceed the limits of the pump. Casing deformation can result in contact
with rotating parts, which can result in excess heat generation, sparks, and premature failure.

NOTICE:
Vary the capacity with the regulating valve in the discharge line. Never throttle the flow from the
suction side. This action can result in decreased performance, unexpected heat generation,
and equipment damage.

Piping guidelines
Guidelines for piping are given in the Hydraulic Institute Standards available from the Hydraulic Institute
at 9 Sylvan Way, Parsippany, NJ 07054-3802. You must review this document before you install the
pump.

When to install a minimum-flow orifice


You can size and install a minimum-flow orifice in a bypass line in order to prevent bypassing excessive
flows. Consult your ITT representative for assistance in sizing a minimum-flow orifice.

When a minimum-flow orifice is unavailable


Consider an automatic recirculation control valve or solenoid-operated valve if a constant bypass (mini-
mum-flow orifice) is not possible.

4.6.5 Auxiliary-piping checklist


Precautions

CAUTION:
• Risk of heat generation, seal failure, and possible physical injury. Sealing systems that
are not self-purging or self-venting, such as plan 23, require manual venting prior to oper-
ation.
• Running a mechanical seal dry, even for a few seconds, can cause seal failure and physi-
cal injury. Never operate the pump without liquid supplied to the mechanical seal.

NOTICE:
Auxiliary cooling and flush systems must be operating properly to prevent excess heat genera-
tion, sparks, and/or premature failure. Ensure auxiliary piping is installed as specified on the
pump data sheet prior to startup.

When to install
You may need to install auxiliary piping for bearing cooling, seal-chamber cover cooling, mechanical seal
flush, or other special features supplied with the pump. Consult the pump data sheet for specific auxiliary
piping recommendations.

Shutdown
5.1 Preparation for startup
WARNING:
• Risk of serious physical injury or death. Exceeding any of the pump operating limits (e.g. -
pressure, temperature, power, etc.) could result in equipment failure, such as explosion,
seizure, or breach of containment. Assure that the system operating conditions are within
the capabilities of the pump.
• Risk of death or serious injury. Leaking fluid can cause fire and/or burns. Ensure all open-
ings are sealed prior to filling the pump.
• Breach of containment can cause fire, burns, and other serious injury. Failure to follow
these precautions before starting the unit may lead to dangerous operating conditions,
equipment failure, and breach of containment.
• Risk of explosion and serious physical injury. Do not operate pump with blocked system
piping or with suction or discharge valves closed. This can result in rapid heating and va-
porization of pumpage.
• Risk of breach of containment and equipment damage. Ensure the pump operates only
between minimum and maximum rated flows. Operation outside of these limits can cause
high vibration, mechanical seal and/or shaft failure, and/or loss of prime.

WARNING:
• Risk of death, serious personal injury, and property damage. Heat and pressure buildup
can cause explosion, rupture, and discharge of pumpage. Never operate the pump with
suction and/or discharge valves closed.
• Running a pump without safety devices exposes operators to risk of serious personal in-
jury or death. Never operate a unit unless appropriate safety devices (guards, etc.) are
properly installed.
• Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power may result in serious physical injury or
death. Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before performing any installa-
tion or maintenance tasks.
• Electrical connections must be made by certified electricians in compliance with all
international, national, state, and local rules.
• Refer to driver/coupling/gear manufacturer's installation and operation manuals
(IOM) for specific instructions and recommendations.

Precautions

WARNING:
The mechanical seal used in an Ex-classified environment must be properly certified.

5.2 Remove the coupling guard

CAUTION:
When a cartridge mechanical seal is used, ensure that the set screws in the seal locking ring
are tightened and that the centering clips have been removed prior to startup. This prevents
seal or shaft sleeve damage by ensuring that the seal is properly installed and centered on the
sleeve.

NOTICE:
• Verify the driver settings before you start any pump. Refer to the applicable drive equip-
ment IOMs and operating procedures.
• Excessive warm-up rates can cause equipment damage. Ensure the warm-up rate does
not exceed 1.4°C | 2.5°F per minute.
• The maximum allowable temperature change for an abnormal transient event such as
thermal shock is 79°C | 175°F.

NOTICE:
You must follow these precautions before you start the pump:
• Flush and clean the system thoroughly to remove dirt or debris in the pipe system in order
to prevent premature failure at initial startup.
• Bring variable-speed drivers to the rated speed as quickly as possible.
• If temperatures of the pumped fluid will exceed 121°C | 250°F, then warm up the pump
prior to operation. Circulate a small amount of fluid through the pump until the casing tem-
perature is within 38°C | 100°F of the fluid temperature. Accomplish this by flowing fluid at
1 GPM (or 0.0025 the pump rated flow) into the pump drain and out the discharge nozzle
(optionally, the casing vent can be included in warm-up circuit but not required). The rec-
ommended warm up rate is 2°C to 3°C | 3°F to 5°F per minute. During the warm up proc-
ess confirm the temperature differential between the top and bottom of the pump is less
than 17°C | 30°F. Soak for (2) hours at process fluid temperature.

NOTICE:
For pumps with austenitic or duplex stainless steel casing construction, the temperatures stat-
ed above must be halved. E.g. for D-1 construction the recommended warm up rate is 1°C to
2°C | 1.5°F to 2.5°F per minute.

At initial startup, do not adjust the variable-speed drivers or check for speed governor or over-speed trip
settings while the variable-speed driver is coupled to the pump. If the settings have not been verified,
then uncouple the unit and refer to instructions supplied by the driver manufacturer.

5.2 Remove the coupling guard

5.6 Shaft sealing with a mechanical seal

5.6 Shaft sealing with a mechanical seal


Precautions

WARNING:
The mechanical seal used in an Ex-classified environment must be properly certified.

CAUTION:
Running a mechanical seal dry, even for a few seconds, can cause seal failure and physical
injury. Never operate the pump without liquid supplied to the mechanical seal.

NOTICE:
• Follow seal manufacturer's guidelines for proper seal installation procedures.

Shipping
Pumps may be shipped with or without a mechanical seal installed.

Cartridge-type mechanical seals


Cartridge-type mechanical seals are commonly used. Cartridge seals are preset by the seal manufactur-
er and require no field settings. Cartridge seals installed by the user require disengagement of the hold-
ing clips prior to operation, allowing the seal to slide into place.
If the seal has been installed in the pump by ITT, these clips have already been disengaged, however
this should be verified by the customer prior to start-up.
Customers should always check to make sure the clips have been disengaged prior to starting the pump.

Other mechanical seal types


For other types of mechanical seals, refer to the instructions provided by the seal manufacturer for instal-
lation and setting.

5.7 Connection of sealing liquid for mechanical seals


Seal lubrication is required
Seal faces must have liquid film between them for proper lubrication. Locate the taps using the illustra-
tions shipped with the seal.

Seal flushing methods

Table 3: You can use these methods in order to flush or cool the seal:

Method Description
Product flush Run the piping so that the pump pushes the pumped fluid from the
casing and injects it into the seal gland. If necessary, an external heat
exchanger cools the pumped fluid before it enters the seal gland.
External flush Run the piping so that the pump injects a clean, cool, compatible liquid
directly into the seal gland. The pressure of the flushing liquid must be
0.35 to 1.01 kg/cm2 | 5 to 15 psi greater than the seal chamber pres-
sure. The injection rate must be 2 to 8 lpm | 0.5 to 2 gpm.

5.8 Pump priming

Method Description
Other You can use other methods that employ multiple gland or seal cham-
ber connections. Refer to the mechanical seal reference drawing and
piping diagrams.

5.8 Pump priming


WARNING:
These pumps are not self priming and must be fully primed at all times during operation. Loss
of prime can lead to excessive heat and severe damage to the pump and seal.

WARNING:
A build-up of gases within the pump, sealing system, or process piping system may result in an
explosive environment. Make sure the process piping system, pump and sealing system are
properly vented prior to operation.

Before the pump is started, the pump must be fully primed and the suction pipe must be full of liquid. If
pump is run dry, then rotating parts within the pump can seize to stationary parts because they depend
upon the pumped liquid for lubrication. Several methods of priming can be used depending upon the type
of installation and service involved.

5.8.1 Prime the pump with the suction supply above the pump
1. Slowly open the suction isolation valve.
2. Open the air vents on the suction and discharge piping, the casing, the seal chamber, and the seal
piping, if provided, until all air is vented and only the pumped fluid flows out.
3. Close the air vents.

WARNING:
Risk of equipment damage, seal failure and breach of containment. Ensure all flush and cool-
ing systems are operating correctly prior to starting pump.

NOTICE:
• Risk of equipment damage due to dry operation. Immediately observe the pressure
gauges. If discharge pressure is not quickly attained, stop the driver immediately, reprime,
and attempt to restart the pump.
• To avoid risk of equipment damage, observe the pump for vibration levels, bearing tem-
perature, and excessive noise. If normal levels are exceeded, shut down the pump and
resolve the issue.
• On frame mounted units, ensure that the oil level is correct prior to starting pump.

NOTICE:
Risk of equipment damage on pure or purge-oil mist-lubricated units. Remove the viewing port
plugs to verify that oil mist is flowing properly. Reinstall the plugs after confirming.

Before you start the pump, you must perform these tasks:
• Open the suction valve.
• Open any recirculation or cooling lines.
1. Fully close or partially open the discharge valve, depending on system conditions.
2. Start the driver.
3. Slowly open the discharge valve until the pump reaches the desired flow.
4. Immediately check the pressure gauge to ensure that the pump quickly reaches the correct dis-
charge pressure.
5. If the pump fails to reach the correct pressure, perform these steps:
a) Stop the driver.
b) Prime the pump again.
c) Restart the driver.
6. Monitor the pump while it is operating:
a) Check the pump for bearing temperature, excessive vibration, and noise.
b) If the pump exceeds normal levels, then shut down the pump immediately and correct the prob-
lem.
A pump can exceed normal levels for several reasons. See Troubleshooting for information about
possible solutions to this problem.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the pump runs properly.

5.11 Pump operation precautions


General considerations

NOTICE:
On ring oil-lubricated pumps, remove oil ring viewing port plugs to verify the following:
• The oil rings are properly positioned in the grooves on the shaft.
• The oil rings are turning.
• The oil rings are throwing oil.

NOTICE:
• Vary the capacity with the regulating valve in the discharge line. Never throttle the flow
from the suction side. This action can result in decreased performance, unexpected heat
generation, and equipment damage.
• Risk of equipment damage from unexpected heat generation. Do not overload the driver.
Ensure that the pump operating conditions are suitable for the driver. The driver can over-
load in these circumstances:
• The specific gravity or viscosity of the fluid is greater than expected
• The pumped fluid exceeds the rated flow rate.
• Make sure to operate the pump at or near the rated conditions. Failure to do so can result
in pump damage from cavitation or recirculation.
• Check the bearing temperatures using a pyrometer or other temperature-measuring de-
vice. Monitor the bearing temperature frequently during initial operation in order to deter-
mine if a bearing problem exists, as well as to establish normal bearing operating temper-
ature.
• For pumps with auxiliary piping, make sure that proper flows have been established and
that the equipment is operating properly.
• Establish baseline vibration readings in order to determine normal running conditions. If
the unit is running roughly, then consult the factory.
• Monitor all gauges to ensure that the pump is running at or near rating and that the suc-
tion screen (when used) is not clogged.

Operation at reduced capacity

WARNING:
• Risk of breach of containment and equipment damage. Excessive vibration levels can
cause damage to bearings, stuffing box, seal chamber, and/or mechanical seal. Observe
pump for vibration levels, bearing temperature, and excessive noise. If normal levels are
exceeded, shut down and resolve.
• Risk of explosion and serious physical injury. Do not operate pump with blocked system
piping or with suction or discharge valves closed. This can result in rapid heating and va-
porization of pumpage.

64 Model 3600 i-FRAME API610 11th Edition / ISO 13709 2nd Edition to current API BB3 Multi-Stage, Axially Split Installa-
tion, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
5.12 Shut down the pump

• Risk of equipment damage and serious physical injury. Heat build-up can cause rotating
parts to score or seize. Observe pump for excessive heat build-up. If normal levels are
exceeded, shut down and resolve.
• Risk of explosion and serious physical injury. Do not operate the pump below the thermal
minimum flow. This can cause excessive heat build-up and vaporization of the pumpage.

NOTICE:
Cavitation can cause damage to the internal surfaces of the pump. Ensure net positive suction
head available (NPSHA) always exceeds NPSH required (NPSH3) as shown on the published
performance curve of the pump.

Operation under freezing conditions

NOTICE:
Do not expose an idle pump to freezing conditions. Drain all liquid that will freeze that is inside
the pump and any auxiliary equipment. Failure to do so can cause liquid to freeze and damage
the pump. Note that different liquids freeze at different temperatures. Some pump designs do
not drain completely and may require flushing with a liquid that doesn't freeze.

5.12 Shut down the pump


WARNING:
Precautions must be taken to prevent physical injury. The pump may handle hazardous and/or
toxic fluids. Proper personal protective equipment should be worn. Pumpage must be handled
and disposed of in conformance with applicable environmental regulations.

1. Slowly close the discharge valve.


2. Shut down and lock out the driver to prevent accidental rotation.

5.13 Deactivate the i-ALERT®2 Equipment Health Monitor


NOTICE:
Always deactivate the health monitor when the pump is going to be shut down for an extended
period of time. Failure to do so will result in reduced battery life.

NOTICE:
Always reset the health monitor when the pump is started after maintenance, system change,
or being shut down for an extended period of time. Failure to do so may result in false baseline
levels that could cause the condition monitor to alert in error.

death. Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before performing any installa-
tion or maintenance tasks.
• Electrical connections must be made by certified electricians in compliance with all
international, national, state, and local rules.
• Refer to driver/coupling/gear manufacturer's installation and operation manuals
(IOM) for specific instructions and recommendations.
• Misalignment can cause decreased performance, equipment damage, and even cata-
strophic failure of frame-mounted units leading to serious injury. Proper alignment is the
responsibility of the installer and the user of the unit. Check the alignment of all drive
components prior to operating the unit.
• Follow the coupling installation and operation procedures from the coupling manu-
facturer.

You must check the final alignment after the pump and driver are at operating temperature. For initial
alignment instructions, see the Installation chapter.
1. Run the unit under actual operating conditions for enough time to bring the pump, driver, and asso-
ciated system to operating temperature.
2. Shut down the pump and the driver.
3. Remove the coupling guard.
See Remove the coupling guard in the Maintenance chapter.
4. Check the alignment while the unit is still hot.
See Pump-to-driver alignment in the Installation chapter.
5. Reinstall the coupling guard.
6. Restart the pump and driver.

5.15 Doweling the pump casing


The pump casing must be doweled to the baseplate in order to maintain the proper pump position.
There are two methods for doweling the pump casing, depending on whether the pump is operated in an
application with a low or high temperature differential between the ambient temperature during setup and
the temperature of the pumped fluid.
If the temperature differential is low the pump foot on the drive end of the pump will require taper pins
installed to secure the pump to the pedestal.
If the temperature differential is high the baseplate is supplied with provision to accommodate differential
temperature doweling. This design ensures the alignment between the pump and driver is maintained
while allowing the case to thermally move.
When the driver is mounted at the factory, the driver is not doweled in order to allow for final field align-
ment.

NOTICE:
You should dowel the driver only after completing the final hot alignment.

5.15 Doweling the pump casing

5.15.1 Installing the driver


1. Confirm the pump is centered on its pedestal so that the hold-down studs are centered in the pump
foot clearance holes with the pump dowel pins installed.
2. Place the driver on the baseplate with proper shaft separation (DBSE = distance between shaft
ends).
3. Tighten the pump hold-down bolts as described in the applicable pump doweling sections below.
4. If the driver was installed at the factory and the driver hold-down bolt holes have already been dril-
led and tapped in the baseplate pedestal, proceed to step 9.
5. After you have determined the correct driver location on the driver pedestal, mark the location of the
driver on the pedestal with a hole punch through the hold-down bolt holes in the driver feet.
6. Remove the driver, then drill and tap the punched holes on the driver pedestal.

NOTICE:
Scribe the driver shims in order to return them to the correct location on the driver pedestal.

7. Set the driver back onto the baseplate with the shims in the correct location.
8. Confirm the driver is not bolt-bound.
9. Tighten the driver hold-down bolts and confirm alignment.
10. Run the unit under actual operating conditions for enough time to bring the pump, driver, and asso-
ciated system to operating temperature.
11. Shut down the pump and the driver.

WARNING:
Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power may result in serious physical injury or death.
Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before performing any installation or main-
tenance tasks.
• Electrical connections must be made by certified electricians in compliance with all in-
ternational, national, state, and local rules.
• Refer to driver/coupling/gear manufacturer's installation and operation manuals (IOM)
for specific instructions and recommendations.

12. Remove the coupling guard.


Refer to Remove the coupling guard.
13. Check and confirm the alignment while the unit is still hot.
14. Dowel the driver feet. See the driver IOM for details.

5.15.2 Doweling for low differential temperature service


Use this method to dowel the drive end pump foot to the baseplate pedestal when there is not a high
temperature differential between the ambient temperature during setup and the temperature of the pump-
ed fluid.

NOTICE:
This procedure should not be followed if the pump and baseplate have been supplied with dif-
ferential temperature doweling (See Doweling for high differential temperature service).

Required tools
• Two number 7 taper pins
• One number 7 taper pin reamer
• 21/64 in. or Q size drill

tion, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
5.15 Doweling the pump casing

• Hardwood block or soft-faced hammer

NOTICE:
This procedure must be done only after the pump is properly aligned with the baseplate pedes-
tal.

1. Confirm the pump is centered on its pedestal so that the hold-down studs are centered in the
pump foot clearance holes.
2. Tighten the pump hold-down bolts.
3. Drill two holes through the pump foot and pump pedestal. Position each hole between the hold-
down bolt and the end of the pump foot at the coupling end on both sides.
4. Ream the holes with a number 7 taper pin reamer to the proper fit with the taper dowel pins. In-
sert the pins deep enough so that only the threaded portions are exposed when the pins are fully
seated.
5. Seat the taper pins firmly in the holes with a hardwood block or soft-faced hammer.
If you should ever need to remove the dowel pins, tighten the hex nuts provided on the pins. If the pins
are not seated deeply enough, put a spacer under the hex nuts in order to lift the pins free when the hex
nuts are tightened.

NOTICE:
Always remove the dowel pins before removing the casing. Failure to do so can result in casing
damage.

5.15.3 Doweling for high differential temperature service


The factory will incorporate this method to dowel the pump to the baseplate pedestal if there is a high
temperature differential between the ambient temperature during setup and the temperature of the pump-
ed fluid.
When the differential is high the baseplate is supplied with provision to accommodate differential temper-
ature doweling. This design ensures the alignment between the pump and driver is maintained while al-
lowing the case to thermally move.
Differential temperature doweling uses a fixed dowel pin block (Detail 1) on the drive end of the pump to
maintain alignment to the driver. The non drive end of the pump uses a dowel pin block with a slot paral-
lel to the pump shaft (Detail 2) to allow the pump case to thermally move.

NOTICE:
• During installation verify the bolts (item 371D) are torqued properly.
• During installation verify the taper pins (item 469E) are installed.

Maintenance inspections
A maintenance schedule includes these types of inspections:
• Routine maintenance
• Routine inspections
• Three-month inspections
• Annual inspections
Shorten the inspection intervals appropriately if the pumped fluid is abrasive or corrosive or if the envi-
ronment is classified as potentially explosive.

Routine maintenance
Perform these tasks whenever you perform routine maintenance:
• Lubricate the bearings.
• Inspect the seal.

Routine inspections
Perform these tasks whenever you check the pump during routine inspections:
• Check the level and condition of the oil through the sight glass on the bearing frame.
• Check for unusual noise vibration, and bearing temperatures.
• Check the pump and piping for leaks.
• Analyze the vibration.*
• Inspect the discharge pressure.
• Inspect the temperature.*
• Check that there is no leakage from the mechanical seal.

NOTICE:
*If equipped, temperature and vibration levels can be retrieved by using your i-ALERT monitor-
ing sensor and app.

Three-month inspections
Perform these tasks every three months:
• Check that the foundation and the hold-down bolts are tight.
• Check the mechanical seal if the pump has been left idle, and replace as required.
• Change the oil every three months (2000 operating hours) at minimum.
• Change the oil filter assembly (550A) every 2000 hours.
• Change the oil and oil filter more often if there are adverse atmospheric or other conditions that
might contaminate or break down the oil.

6.4 Disassembly

Cartridge-type mechanical seals


Cartridge-type mechanical seals are commonly used. Cartridge seals are preset by the seal manufactur-
er and require no field settings. Cartridge seals installed by the user require disengagement of the hold-
ing clips prior to operation, allowing the seal to slide into place. If the seal has been installed in the pump
by ITT, these clips have already been disengaged.

Other mechanical seal types


For other types of mechanical seals, refer to the instructions provided by the seal manufacturer for instal-
lation and setting.

Reference drawing
The manufacturer supplies a reference drawing with the data package. Keep this drawing for future use
when you perform maintenance and seal adjustments. The seal drawing specifies the required flush fluid
and attachment points.

Before you start the pump


Check the seal and all flush piping.

Mechanical seal life


The life of a mechanical seal depends on the cleanliness of the pumped fluid. Due to the diversity of op-
erating conditions, it is not possible to give definite indications as to the life of a mechanical seal.

6.4 Disassembly

4. Position the sling so that both loops around the shaft fall approximately at the seal diameter and in
front of the seal chambers (220, 221).
5. Lower the rotating assembly, making sure all stationary parts fit into the groove locks.
6. While maintaining tension on the rotating assembly, slide the lower half of all stage rings (144), the
center bushing (155), and the diaphragm (146), if applicable, into the lower half of the casing.
7. Assemble the upper half of each component and tighten the socket head capscrews.
8. You must center the rotating element inside the casing whenever the bearings are replaced:
a) Push the rotating element towards the coupling end until it stops.
b) Measure the distance from the thrust bearing shoulder on the shaft to the bearing housing face
on the casing.
c) Pull the rotating element towards the thrust end until it stops.
d) Again, measure the distance from the thrust bearing shoulder on the shaft to the bearing hous-
ing face on the casing.
The difference between the two measurements is the total travel of the rotating element.
e) Calculate the average of these dimensions.
f) Measure the shoulder depth on the inboard cover (160) and subtract the calculated average di-
mension.
The result is the spacer (217) thickness required to properly center the rotating element.
g) Remachine the spacer as necessary making sure that both faces are parallel within 0.025 mm |
0.001 in.

6.6.3 Confirm the seal chamber runout


The bearing housings are doweled to the casing (100) during the original build. However, to assure the
correct running position of the shaft, use the following procedure to confirm the seal chamber runout be-
fore installing the cartridge mechanical seals:
1. Install the old bearings on the shaft and bolt the bearing housings to the casing.
2. Mount the dial indicator on the shaft (122). Rotate the shaft (122) so that the indicator rides along
the seal chamber bore for 180°.
3. If the total indicator reading exceeds 0.127 mm | 0.005 in., determine the cause and make correc-
tions. The bottom reading must be 0.0635 mm | 0.0025 in. or less.

For further instructions see Align the rotor.


4. Check the seal-chamber face runout.
a) With a dial indicator mounted on the shaft, rotate the shaft so that the indicator rides along the
seal-chamber face for 180°.
b) If the total indicator reading exceeds the allowable runout as shown in the following table, de-
termine the cause and make corrections.

6.6.3.1 Qualify the casing bores


Three casing bores are used as datums during the centering procedure: the two seal chamber bores and
the center case bushing bore. If these bores are not in alignment or are of different sizes, then compen-
sation is required in order to accommodate the deviation(s). Qualification of these three bores must oc-
cur before you align the rotor.
1. Measure the ring bores with a plug gauge and correct any conditions that are out of tolerance.
2. Measure the depth of the ring bores noted in the figure and record the measurements in the table
row "Actual depth."

This is the seal chamber centerline.
6. Draw a trend line through points 2 through 7 and investigate any deviations greater than 0.051 mm |
0.002 in.
This is the casing ring centerline.
7. Adjust the nominal 0.127 mm | 0.005 in. thickness of the center case shim by the difference be-
tween the seal chamber centerline and the ring bore centerline at points 4 and 5.
• If the seal chamber centerline is above the ring bore centerline, then increase the shim
thickness.
• If the seal chamber centerline is below the ring bore centerline, then decrease the shim
thickness.
8. Check and confirm that the separation between the seal chamber center and the rotor center is
0.127 mm | 0.005 in. or less.
If the separation is greater than 0.127 mm | 0.005 in., then contact your ITT representative for assis-
tance.

6.6.3.2 Align the rotor


Before you align the rotor, you must qualify the casing bores. See Qualify the casing bores.
The purpose of this procedure is to align the center of the bearing housing bores with the center of the
casing bore. This ensures that the rotor is straight through all the bores during operation.
1. Temporarily place two one-inch square shims in the bottom of each center case bushing bore. The
thickness of the shim must be determined during the casing bore qualification procedure. These
shims remove the sag, or bend, from the rotor by compensating for the misalignment between the
center bushing clearance and the casing bore.
2. Place the rotor in the lower half of the casing. Make sure that the dowel in the center case bushing
is at the 12 o'clock position.
3. Mount the tool bearings on the shaft.
Tool bearings are used for rotor alignment purposes only. The bore diameter of the inner race has
been increased so that it is a slip fit onto the shaft.
4. Mount the bearing housings. Hand-tighten the mounting nuts to allow for adjustment.
5. Install two dial indicators on the shaft, one in each seal chamber bore.
6. Set each indicator to zero on the same side of the casing. Adjust the bearing housings vertically
and horizontally to achieve a TIR less than 0.0381 mm | 0.0015 in.
Make sure that the indicator is reading on a machined surface and not on a hand-filed surface,
which is sometimes necessary near the parting flange.
7. Keep the bearing housing level from side to side during the bearing housing adjustment in order to
ensure the correct oil level setting.
8. Double-check the centering of the rotor with a feeler gauge between the casing rings and impeller
rings and confirm the clearance around the circumference.

tion, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
6.6 Reassembly

For standard clearance use a 0.076 mm | 0.003 in. feeler gauge. For API clearance use a 0.152
mm | 0.006 in. feeler gauge. Make minor adjustments to the bearing housings accordingly.
9. Recheck the shaft-to-seal chamber bore TIR after this adjustment.
Side-to-side readings must be 0.127 mm | 0.005 in. or less. The bottom reading must be 0.0635
mm | 0.0025 in. or less.
10. Tighten the mounting screws on the bearing housing.
Confirm that the shaft-to-seal chamber TIR has not changed. Adjust the bearing housings until the
TIR criteria is met with the mounting screws firmly tightened.
11. Mount a magnetic base dial indicator on the thrust end of the shaft and indicate the housing face of
the thrust bearing.
Readings must be within 0.076 mm | 0.003 in. TIR. If this value is exceeded, inspect the bearing
housing and the casing face, and correct any condition that is out of tolerance.
12. Drill pilot holes, taper-ream holes for the dowel pins, and install the dowels.
13. Remove the temporary shims from under the center case bushing either by removing the bushing or
by removing the rotor.

6.6.4 Assemble the casing


1. Lower the upper half of the casing, using taper pins to correctly align to the lower half.

NOTICE:
Apply an anti-seize compound to the studs and to the face of the casing where the nuts make
contact.

NOTICE:
Do not set the mechanical seal sleeve set screws at the time; endplay must be checked first or
damage to the seal faces could occur.

2. Assemble the inboard labyrinth seal (333A) into the inboard thrust end cover (160):
a) Clean the end cover with a solvent.
b) Fit the labyrinth seal (333A) into the bore of the cover (160).
c) Tap the seal in with a hammer.

NOTICE:
Make sure that the expulsion port is at the 6 o'clock position and is properly seated.

3. Assemble the inboard end cover (160) and the inboard bearing end-cover gasket (360A) onto the
shaft.
4. Assemble the bearing spacer (443V) and thrust bearings (112A) in a back-to-back arrangement on-
to the shaft (122):
The bearings are interference fit.
a) Preheat the bearings to 120°C | 250°F with an induction-type bearing heater.
Be sure to also demagnetize the bearings after heating.

CAUTION:
• Risk of physical injury from hot bearings. Wear insulated gloves when using a bearing
heater.

NOTICE:
Do not use a torch and do not force.

b) Install the bearings (112A), the oil ring sleeve (443B), and the bearing locknut (136) onto the
shaft.

6.6 Reassembly

c) While the bearings are hot, tighten the locknut by hand with a spanner wrench until the bearing
is snug against the shaft shoulder.
d) Allow the bearing assembly to cool slowly to room temperature.
Do not rapidly cool the bearings with compressed air or other means.
e) When the bearing assembly is fully cooled, remove the locknut, install the lockwasher (382),
and install the locknut.
f) Hand-tighten the locknut with a spanner wrench. Do not over-tighten the bearing. Tap the end
of the spanner wrench with light strikes from a dead blow hammer while you note the location
of the next available lockwasher tab that aligns with the slots in the locknut.
The turning resistance of the nut increases as it tightens. Plan the alignment of the lockwasher tab
with the locknut fully tightened. If the locknut is still turning with light strikes with the hammer, then
continue to tighten the locknut until the next available tab is aligned with a slot. Do not use heavy
strikes with the hammer. If it is not possible to reach the next tab, then loosen the locknut to align
with the previous tab.
g) Check the condition of the outer races by rotating the bearings by hand in opposite directions:
• The outer races generally cannot be counter-rotated by hand, but if they do move, the resist-
ance must be high.
• If the outer races are loose, the bearing is not properly seated and must be retightened.

5. If applicable - Assemble the bearing spacer (443V) onto the shaft.
6. Assemble the thrust bearings (112A) in a back-to-back arrangement onto the shaft (122):
The bearings are interference fit.
a) Preheat the bearings to 120°C | 250°F with an induction-type bearing heater.
Be sure to also demagnetize the bearings after heating.

CAUTION:
• Risk of physical injury from hot bearings. Wear insulated gloves when using a bearing
heater.

NOTICE:
Do not use a torch and do not force.

b) Install the bearings (112A), the oil ring sleeve (443B), and the bearing locknut (136) onto the
shaft.
c) While the bearings are hot, tighten the locknut by hand with a spanner wrench until the bearing
is snug against the shaft shoulder.
d) Allow the bearing assembly to cool slowly to room temperature.
Do not rapidly cool the bearings with compressed air or other means.
e) When the bearing assembly is fully cooled, remove the locknut, install the lockwasher (382),
and install the locknut.
f) Hand-tighten the locknut with a spanner wrench. Do not over-tighten the bearing. Tap the end
of the spanner wrench with light strikes from a dead blow hammer while you note the location
of the next available lockwasher tab that aligns with the slots in the locknut.
The turning resistance of the nut increases as it tightens. Plan the alignment of the lockwasher tab
with the locknut fully tightened. If the locknut is still turning with light strikes with the hammer, then
continue to tighten the locknut until the next available tab is aligned with a slot. Do not use heavy
strikes with the hammer. If it is not possible to reach the next tab, then loosen the locknut to align
with the previous tab.
g) Check the condition of the outer races by rotating the bearings by hand in opposite directions:
• The outer races generally cannot be counter-rotated by hand, but if they do move, the resist-
ance must be high.
• If the outer races are loose, the bearing is not properly seated and must be retightened.
