Impeller adjustment shall be provided at the top of the headshaft by
means of an adjusting nut which shall be locked in place.
COLUMN PIPE: shall
be ASTM A53 grade B steel pipe, sized such that the friction loss will
not exceed 5 ft. per 100 ft., based on the rated capacity of the pump
and shall weigh not less than ___________ lbs/ft. The column pipe shall
be furnished in interchangeable sections not more than (10) ft. in
length for 1800 RPM and (5) ft. for 3600 RPM and shall be connected with
threaded sleeve type couplings. The ends of each section of column pipe
shall be machined with 8 threads per inch with 3/16" taper and
faced parallel and the threads machined to such a degree that the ends
butt against the bearing retainer shoulder to ensure proper alignment
and to secure the bearing retainers when assembled.
NOTE: TOP AND BOTTOM SECTIONS SHALL NOT EXCEED
5 FT. IN LENGTH.
COLUMN ASSEMBLY - PRODUCT LUBRICATED
LINESHAFTS shall
be C-1045 turned, ground and polished. They shall be furnished in
interchangeable section not over (10) ft. in length. The shaft shall be
sized in accordance with the maximum recommended horsepower for a given
size of suspended rotating parts. To ensure accurate alignment of the
shafts, they shall be straight within 0.005 in. total indicator reading
for a 10 ft. section. The butting faces shall be machined with center
relief and square to the axis of the shaft. The lineshaft shall be
provided with 304 stainless steel sleeves at the location of each
bearing retainer. The lineshaft shall be coupled with 1215 steel
couplings, and shall be held in place by bronze bearing retainers with
neoprene bearings at each threaded joint.
BOWL ASSEMBLY
PUMP BOWLS
shall be of close grained, cast iron ASTM A48 Class 30 and shall be free
of blow holes, sand holes, or other detrimental faults and shall be
accurately machined and fitted to close tolerances. The bowls shall have
vitreous enamel lined waterways to reduce friction losses and provide a
maximum efficiency and wear protection. The intermediate bowls shall be
provided with SAE660 bronze bearings. The intermediate bowls shall be
fitted with replaceable wear rings of bronze SAE660.
IMPELLERS shall
be of CDA836 cast bronze and shall be enclosed type accurately machined,
balanced, and filed for optimum performance. They shall be securely
fastened to the shaft with a taper split collet of _____________ 1215
steel or ____________ 416 stainless steel.
COLUMN ADAPTER OR DISCHARGE CASE shall
be close grained cast iron ASTM A48 class 30 or cast iron, threaded to
properly match the discharge column.
SUCTION CASE shall
be fitted with replaceable wear ring of bronze SAE660, grease packed
SAE660 bronze bearing and protected by a bronze SAE660 sand collar.
BOWL SHAFT
shall be ASTM A582 grade 416 stainless steel, turned, ground and
polished.
SUCTION PIPE AND STRAINER
The suction pipe shall be ________ ft. in
length and of a size and weight at least equal to that of the column
pipe. A galvanized steel strainer shall be provided having a net inlet
area equal to at least four times the suction pipe area.
MOTOR
The motor shall be squirrel cage induction
design, NEMA design B, _______ RPM vertical hollow shaft motor, with a
non-reverse ratchet. Thrust bearing shall be chosen to handle the entire
hydraulic thrust load of the pump plus the weight of the rotating parts.
