1.0 Scope:
This specification covers the design, materials of construction, features, performance and testing of
vertical multistage centrifugal pump. Pump shall be suitable for the purpose they are intended.

2.0 Codes and Standards:

The design, material, construction, manufacture, inspection, testing and performance of vertical
multistage pumps shall comply with all currently applicable statutes, regulations and safety codes in
the locality where the Equipment will be installed. The Equipment supplied complies with the latest
applicable Standards. The work in this section is subject to the requirements of applicable portions of
the following standards:

EN 809 Pumps and pump units for liquids – Common safety requirements

ISO 9906 Roto-dynamic pumps - Hydraulic performance acceptance tests- Grade1, 2 & 3

Mechanical vibration - Evaluation of machine vibration by measurements on non-rotating

ISO 10816
parts

EN 1092-2 Flanges standard used for cast iron pump flanges dimensions.

3.0 General:
The pumps shall be vertical multistage, in-line design which enables installation in a horizontal one-
pipe system where the suction and discharge ports are in the same horizontal level and have the
same pipe dimensions. This design provides a more compact pump design and pipework.
The pump, electric motor, coupling and coupling guard shall be factory assembled at the pump
manufacturer’s facility. Installation instructions shall be included with pump at time of shipment. The
pump manufacturer shall have complete unit responsibility.

4.0 Features of Construction:

4.1) Pump Base / Housing:
Pump Base shall be a robust construction with integrally-cast support in order to transmit pipe load to
the foundation. Liquid passages in the casing shall be smooth finish to ensure high Efficiency.
Pump base shall be EN-JL1030 or EN-JS1050 grade Cast Iron according to BS EN 1561: 1997 and
capable of withstanding to the maximum pressure developed by the pump.
Flange dimensions are in accordance with EN 1092-2.
Pump base shall have tapped hole provision for draining.
4.2) Impeller:
The impeller shall be AISI 304 stainless steel enclosed type with smooth surface finishes for minimum
frictional loss. This ensures high Efficiency. Impeller shall be fixed to the shaft by means of a split
cone and a split cone nut/union nut.
The direction of rotation of the impeller is counter clockwise when viewed from the motor.
4.3) Shaft:
Shaft shall be AISI 316 or AISI 431 stainless steel with splined design, and shall be adequately sized
to with stand all stresses, hydraulic loads, vibrations and torques coming in during operation.
Shaft shall be provided with Mechanical seal as default fitment to provide leak free operation.

4.4) Mechanical Seals:

The liquid cavity shall be sealed off at the pump shaft by an internally-flushed mechanical seal with
Silicon carbide seat and Silicon carbide seal ring, suitable for continuous operation at 120 Deg C. The
mechanical shaft seal shall be cartridge type for maintenance free operation and balanced which is
suitable for pressure up to 30 Bar.
4.5) Bearing Rings:
The bearing rings shall be in silicon carbide.
4.6) Pump Sleeve:
The pump sleeve shall be AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel and fitted between the pump head and
the base and kept in place by means of stay bolts. The gaps between the sleeve and the base/pump
head are sealed by means of O-rings.
4.7) Pump Head & Motor stool:
Pump base shall be EN-JL1030 or EN-JS1050 Cast Iron according to BS EN 1561: 1997.
Pump head, pump head cover and flange for motor mounting shall be made in one piece.
Pump head shall have a tapped hole provision for priming and air vent.
4.8) Coupling:
Pumps shall be provided with rigid coupling which consist of two halves and capable of absorbing
torsional vibration, shall be employed between the pump and motor.
Coupling guard shall be bolted to the pump head/motor stool.
4.9) Motors:
Motor shall be a vertical, face / flange mounted, totally enclosed fan-cooled, standard squirrel cage
induction motors with main dimensions according to IEC standards. Electrical tolerances are to IEC
60034. Motor shall be energy efficient type.
Motor shall be to with IP 55 enclosure. The class of insulation shall be F with temperature rise limited
to Class B.
Motor shall be suitable for operation on a 415 V (± 10% variation), 50Hz ± 5%, 3phase AC supply.
Motor shall be suitable for both DOL and / or STAR/DELTA starting.
Pump and motor shall be factory aligned, and shall be realigned by the contractor as per factory
recommendations after installation.
4.10) Name plates:
Each pump shall be provided with a name plate indicating the following details:
1. Pump type designation
2. Pump Model
3. Rated flow
4. Rated head
5. Rated speed
6. Power P2
7. Pressure rating/max temperature
8. Serial Number
9. MEI (Minimum Efficiency Index)

4.11) Working pressure:

Maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) for all the pressure containing parts shall in no case
be less than the maximum discharge pressure produced by the pump at shut off (including
tolerances), at the max suction pressure, for the maximum impeller diameter and the maximum
continuous speed.
4.12) Vibration:
The pump(s) vibration limits shall conform to ISO 2372 (10816) for recommend acceptable vibration
limits for pump.
4.13) Painting:
The equipment shall be thoroughly cleaned and greased. All rust sharp edges and scales shall be
removed. All external and exposed cast iron parts of pumps have an epoxy-based coating made in a
cathodic electro-deposition (CED) process which is high-quality dip-painting process and which would
prevent rusting and corrosion. The colour code for the finished product is NCS 9000/RAL 9005.
