FOREWORD
In 1991 the ASME Standards Committee B73, Chemical Standard Pumps, formed a sealless
pump working group to develop a standard for sealless pumps that would correspond to
ASME B73.1M, Specification for Horizontal End Suction Centrifugal Pumps for Chemical Process.
Though these pumps are sealless (i.e., they do not use a dynamic seal to prevent leakage around
the drive shaft), leakage can occur as a result of certain types of wear or misoperation. The user
must take appropriate supplemental safety precautions when operating these pumps.
The first edition of this Standard was approved as an American National Standard on
August 7, 1997.
In the intervening years, work continued on a revision of ASME B73.1M. As that work drew
near to completion, the sealless working group began to develop a revision of the 1997 edition
of ASME B73.3M to reflect the changes being made in ASME B73.1M. The 2003 revision of the
ASME B73.3 Standard included
W Some paragraphs were simplified and clarified.
W The presentation of units was changed to reflect that the U.S. Customary units were the primary
units of measurement.
W The sections on flanges and flange loading were revised.
W Sound and vibration requirements were revised.
W Information concerning “Operating Region” and “NPSH Margin” was added.
W Auxiliary connection symbols were added.
W Additional pump sizes were added.
W Table 3 was revised to reflect changes in the Frame 1 pump dimensions.
W Table 7, Minimum Continuous Flow, was added.
W Form 1 was revised to reflect additional required values.
This revision of the Standard includes several changes to reduce redundancy in the B73 set of
standards and to better align with the Hydraulic Institute standards. Revisions have also been
made to further improve the reliability of the B73.3 pumps. Reference is now made to the Hydraulic
Institute standard for fluid circulation piping plans. A material classification code has been added
to B73.3. The table for ASTM material specifications has been expanded and a table for minimum
requirements for auxiliary piping materials has been added. Requirements for the bearing frame
have been revised to assure more robust pumps. Plastic lined magnetic drive pumps have been
added to the scope of the standard due to their prevalence throughout the chemical industry.
Close coupled pumps are also an option and close coupled pump baseplates have been shortened
accordingly. The default performance test acceptance grade has been revised to reflect the new
HI/ISO performance test standard. More detail was added to the required drawings: curve and
documentation that should be included with the pump. A new data sheet has been developed
and added to the standard. The standard endorses the Electronic Data Exchange standard which
was developed by the Hydraulic Institute and FIATECH Automating Equipment Information
--`,```,,`,`,,``,,`,,,```,,,,,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
Exchange (AEX) project.

Suggestions for improvement of this Standard will be welcome and should be sent to The
American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Attn.: Secretary, B73 Committee, Two Park Avenue,
New York, NY 10016-5990.
This Standard was approved as an American National Standard on October 30, 2015.

CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE B73 COMMITTEE
General. ASME Standards are developed and maintained with the intent to represent the
consensus of concerned interests. As such, users of this Standard may interact with the Committee
by proposing revisions or a Case and attending Committee meetings. Correspondence should
be addressed to:
Secretary, B73 Standards Committee
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Two Park Avenue
New York, NY 10016-5990
http://go.asme.org/Inquiry
Proposing Revisions. Revisions are made periodically to the Standard to incorporate changes
that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from the application
of the Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically.
The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Standard. Such proposals should be
as specific as possible, citing the paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and a detailed
description of the reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent documentation.
Proposing a Case. Cases may be issued for the purpose of providing alternative rules when
justified, to permit early implementation of an approved revision when the need is urgent, or to
provide rules not covered by existing provisions. Cases are effective immediately upon
ASME approval and shall be posted on the ASME Committee Web page.
Requests for Cases shall provide a Statement of Need and Background Information. The request
should identify the Standard and the paragraph, figure, or table number(s), and be written as a
Question and Reply in the same format as existing Cases. Requests for Cases should also indicate
the applicable edition(s) of the Standard to which the proposed Case applies.
Attending Committee Meetings. The B73 Standards Committee regularly holds meetings
and/or telephone conferences that are open to the public. Persons wishing to attend any meeting
and/or telephone conference should contact the Secretary of the B73 Standards Committee. Future
Committee meeting dates and locations can be found on the Committee Page at
go.asme.org/B73committee.
