The pump pressures given in the Schedules are given for guidance during tendering only, and the Works Contractor shall be
responsible for checking the total final resistance of each system, based on the actual pipe runs and equipment offered,
prior to ordering. Any modifications to the system or any of its components, i.e. pumps, pipework, motors, cables,
switchgear, etc., which may be required to meet the scheduled duties and space limitations shall be carried out at the Works
Contractor's expense, excepting where modification is brought about by the written instruction of the Consulting Engineer.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the above, no modifications to any system shall be carried out where such modification
may result in a reduction in system performance or efficiency.

Pumps that have a stable head/capacity curves which rise to shut off are preferred for all applications and are required when
parallel operation is specified. When parallel operation is specified, the head rise for one and two stage pumps shall be 10%
to 20% of the head at rated capacity.

Unless otherwise specified, pumps shall be selected for use with speeds 1,500 rpm/ or 2,900 rpm.

All pumps shall be constructed with materials compatible with the chemical and physical properties of the liquid to be
pumped.

All pumps and motors shall be statically and dynamically balanced.

The Works Contractor shall allow for the interchange ability of spare parts and accessories in the selection of each unit, and
in supplying all pumps from a single manufacturer.

Each complete pump unit including drive and base plate shall be supplied from a single manufacturer. Pump motors shall be
of energy efficiency type. All guarantees, test certificates, etc. shall be deemed to apply to the entire assembly.

Pumps which could be damaged by reverse rotation shall be provided with a non-reverse ratchet.

months of operation.

7. CENTRIFUGAL END SUCTION PUMPS

Centrifugal end suction pumps shall be of the single suction, centrifugal type.

End suction pumps shall be of back pull out design with spacer type coupling, enabling the removal of the entire rotating
assembly without disturbing the pipe installation, or driving motor or mountings.

Impellers shall be bronze/gunmetal to BS 1400 Grade LG2 of the shrouded type, statically, dynamically and hydraulically
balanced of non-overloading characteristic and correctly designed for all operating conditions. Impellers shall be securely
keyed to the pump shaft.

The shafts shall be of 316 stainless steel type with stainless steel/bronze sleeves keyed to prevent rotation and secured
against axial thrust.

Bearings shall be of a type recommended by the manufacturer to prevent end thrust on the impeller shaft and with neoprene
oil sealed rings designed to prevent ingress of any foreign matter.
