1 Introduction and safety

1.1 Important Safety Notice

o: Our Valued Customers:

User safety is a major focus in the design of our products. Following the precautions outlined in this man-

ual will minimize your risk of injury.

ITT Goulds pumps will provide safe, trouble-free service when properly installed, maintained, and operat-

ed.

Safe installation, operation, and maintenance of ITT Goulds Pumps equipment are an essential end user

responsibility. This Pump Safety Manual identifies specific safety risks that must be considered at all

times during product life. Understanding and adhering to these safety warnings is mandatory to ensure

personnel, property, and/or the environment will not be harmed. Adherence to these warnings alone,

however, is not sufficient — it is anticipated that the end user will also comply with industry and corporate

safety standards. Identifying and eliminating unsafe installation, operating and maintenance practices is

the responsibility of all individuals involved in the installation, operation, and maintenance of industrial

equipment.

Please take the time to review and understand the safe installation, operation, and maintenance guide-

lines outlined in this Pump Safety Manual and the Instruction, Operation, and Maintenance (IOM) man-

ual. Current manuals are available at https://www.gouldspumps.com/en-US/Tools-and-Resources/Litera-

ture/ or by contacting your nearest Goulds Pumps sales representative.

These manuals must be read and understood before installation and start-up.

1.2 Safety warnings

Specific to pumping equipment, significant risks bear reinforcement above and beyond normal safety

precautions.

WARNING:

A pump is a pressure vessel with rotating parts that can be hazardous. Any pressure vessel

can explode, rupture, or discharge its contents if suf

ficiently over pressurized causing death,

personal injury, property damage, and/or damage to the environment. All necessary measures

must be taken to ensure over pressurization does not occur.

WARNING:

Operation of any pumping system with a blocked suction and discharge must be avoided in all

cases. Operation, even for a brief period under these conditions, can cause superheating of

enclosed pumpage and result in a violent explosion. All necessary measures must be taken by

the end user to ensure this condition is avoided.

WARNING:

The pump may handle hazardous and/or toxic fluids. Care must be taken to identify the con-

tents of the pump and eliminate the possibility of exposure, particularly if hazardous and/or tox-

ic. Potential hazards include, but are not limited to, high temperature, flammable, acidic, caus-

tic, explosive, and other risks.

WARNING Make sure to properly lubricate the bearings. Failure to do so may result in ex-

cess heat generation, sparks, and / or premature failure.

CAUTION The mechanical seal used in an ATEX classified environment must be proper-

ly certified. Prior to start up, ensure all points of potential leakage of process

fluid to the work environment are closed.

CAUTION

Never operate the pump without liquid supplied to mechanical seal. Running a

mechanical seal dry

, even for a few seconds, can cause seal damage and

must be avoided. Physical injury can occur if mechanical seal fails.

WARNING Never attempt to replace packing until the driver is properly locked out and the

coupling spacer is removed.

WARNING

Dynamic seals are not allowed in an ATEX classified environment.

WARNING

DO NOT operate pump below minimum rated flows or with suction and/or dis-

charge valve closed. These conditions may create an explosive hazard due to

vaporization of pumpage and can quickly lead to pump failure and physical in-

jury

WARNING Ensure pump is isolated from system and pressure is relieved before disas-

sembling pump, removing plugs, opening vent or drain valves, or disconnect-

ing piping.

WARNING Shutdown, Disassembly, and Reassembly:

tamination procedures. Proper personal protective equipment should be worn.

Precautions must be taken to prevent physical injury

. Pumpage must be han-

dled and disposed of in conformance with applicable environmental regula-

tions.

WARNING Operator must be aware of pumpage and safety precautions to prevent physi-

cal injury

WARNING Lock out driver power to prevent accidental startup and physical injury.

CAUTION Allow all system and pump components to cool before handling them to pre-

vent physical injury

CAUTION

If pump is a Model NM3171, NM3196, 3198, 3298, V3298, SP3298, 4150,

4550, or 3107, there may be a risk of static electric discharge from plastic

parts that are not properly grounded. If pumped fluid is non-conductive, pump

should be drained and flushed with a conductive fluid under conditions that

will not allow for a spark to be released to the atmosphere.

WARNING Never apply heat to remove an impeller. The use of heat may cause an explo-

sion due to trapped fluid, resulting in severe physical injury and property dam-

age.

CAUTION Wear heavy work gloves when handling impellers as sharp edges may cause

physical injury

tection when working on or around any equipment, including pumps. Consider

limiting personnel’

s exposure time to noise or, where possible, enclosing

equipment to reduce noise. Local law may provide specific guidance regard-

ing exposure of personnel to noise and when noise exposure reduction is re-

quired.

WARNING Temperature:

Equipment and piping surfaces may exceed 130ºF (54ºC) in operating proc-

ess plants. Clear visual warnings or other indicators should alert personnel to

surfaces that may reach a potentially unsafe temperature. Do not touch hot

surfaces. Allow pumps operating at a high temperature to cool sufficiently be-

fore performing maintenance. If touching a hot surface cannot be avoided,

personnel should wear appropriate gloves, clothing, and other protective gear

as necessary. Local law may provide specific guidance regarding exposure of

personnel to unsafe temperatures.

1.5 ATEX Considerations and Intended Use

Special care must be taken in potentially explosive environments to ensure that the equipment is proper-

ly maintained. This includes but is not limited to:

Description of A

TEX

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.

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/

2 General Information

2.1 Introduction

This instruction manual is intended to assist those involved with the installation, operation and mainte-

nance of Goulds slurry pumps. It is recommended that this manual be thoroughly reviewed prior to instal-

ling or performing any work on the pump or motor

2.1.1 Importance of instructions

The design, material and workmanship incorporated in the construction of Goulds slurry pumps makes

them capable of giving long, trouble-free service. The life and satisfactory service of any mechanical unit,

however, is enhanced and extended by periodic inspection and careful maintenance. This manual was

prepared to assist operators in understanding the construction and correct methods of installing, operat-

ing, and maintaining these pumps.

2.1.2 Special warnings

Goulds will not be liable for any damages or delay caused by failure to comply with the provisions of this

instruction manual. This pump is not to be operated at speeds, working pressures, discharge

pressures, or temperatures higher than, nor used with liquids other than stated in the original order ac-

knowledgment, without written permission of Goulds Pumps, Inc.

2.1.3 Receiving inspection - shortages

Care should be taken when unloading pumps. If shipment is not delivered in good order and in accord-

ance with the bill of lading, note the damage or shortage on both receipt and freight bill. Make any claims

to the transportation company promptly.

2 General Information

Model JC Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions 11

3 Installation

3.1 Installation

WARNING:

•

Equipment that will operate in a potentially explosive environment must be installed in ac-

cordance with the following instructions.

• All equipment being installed must be properly grounded to prevent unexpected static

electric discharge. If not, a static electric discharge may occur when the pump is drained

and disassembled for maintenance purposes.

3.2 Piping

Never draw piping into place by forcing at the flanged connections of the pump. This may im-

pose dangerous strains on the unit and cause misalignment between pump and driver

. Pipe strain will

adversely effect the operation of the pump resulting in physical injury and damage to the equipment.

CAUTION:

Pump must never be throttled on suction side.

WARNING:

NPSHa must always exceed NPSHr as shown on Goulds performance curves received with or-

der

. Reference Hydraulic Institute for NPSH and pipe friction values needed to evaluate suction

piping.

Short, direct suction and discharge pipelines and a minimum of elbows and fittings result in the least

amount of pipe friction.

3.2.1 Suction piping

Excessive friction losses will cause cavitation.

2. Must be kept free of air leaks, particularly in long lines or conditions of high suction lift.

3. Flow regulating valves must not be located on suction side of the pump.

3.2.2 Discharge piping

1. Excessive friction losses result in insufficient head.

2. A check valve should be located in the discharge line to protect the pump from reverse flow and

excessive pressure.

3.2.3 Piping support

The pumps are not designed to carry loads imposed by the weight of the pipeline. Suction and discharge

piping must be supported near the pump, unless otherwise specified. Pumps and subbases can be de-

signed to carry loads due to thermal expansion.

3 Installation

12 Model JC Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions

3.3 Foundation

The foundation must be a permanent, rigid support for the subbase or floorplate. It should be an industri-

ally accepted design capable of absorbing excessive vibration.

Foundations are typically concrete with anchor bolts cast in to secure the pump.

An anchor bolt assembly consists of a bolt and washer with a sleeve 2-½ times the diameter of the bolt.

When the assembly is cast in concrete, the washer prevents the sleeve and bolt from being pulled. The

sleeve I.D. provides an adjustment allowance around the bolt. A lug is generally welded on the bolt to

prevent rotation when tightening.

Anchor bolts should be located in the concrete by a template dimensioned from the pump installation

drawing. The top of the sleeve should be temporarily sealed with waste material to prevent concrete from

entering during the concrete pouring operation. A typical anchor bolt arrangement is shown in 3.3 Foun-

dation on page

13.

Figure 2: Foundation

3.3.1 Installing pump on foundation

If subbases or floorplates were directly anchored to poured concrete foundations, surface irregularities

would cause distortion. Rectangular metal blocks and shims, or metal wedges having a small taper, are

placed beside each anchor bolt to level the subbase or floorplate (see Figures Leveling with wedges and

Leveling with blocks and shims). The anchor bolts are then drawn tight enough to maintain position and

level.

To secure the shims in place and provide a level surface for the base or plate, grout is poured over the

concrete foundation. A 19mm to 38mm | ¾" to 1-½" grout allowance is recommended. When subbases

have cavities, grout holes are provided to fill all spaces. After the grout has hardened, permanently tight-

en the anchor bolts.

3.3 Foundation

NOTICE:

Make sure that the sheaves are properly aligned. Proper alignment is necessary to guarantee

the correct power transmission and speed ratio, and ensures minimum vibration and long drive

life.

3.4.2 Install and tension the belt

After alignment of the sheaves, reduce the center distance between the pump and motor shafts so

that the belts can be easily mounted into the sheave grooves.

For... Reduce the center distance by...

Overhead mounted motors Adjusting the leveling nuts

Side mounted motors Adjusting the motor slide base

Make sure that the center distance between the pump and motor shaft is reduced to the point

where the belts can be put on the sheaves without the use of force. Never roll or pry the belts into

place, as this could damage the belt cords.

After the belts are seated in the sheave grooves, increase the center distance between the pump

and motor shafts to tension the belts.

Refer to pump general arrangement drawing for center distance ranges.

3.5.1 Shaft alignment of horizontal pump and driver

Pumps and drivers that are received from the factory with both machines mounted on a common sub-

base were accurately aligned before shipment. Because all subbases are, to some extent, flexible, facto-

ry alignment may be altered during shipment and handling. After the subbase has been leveled, grouted,

and secured, check the alignment. Alignment should be rechecked after the pump is fully installed and

before startup. Refer to the Alignment Procedure.

Disconnect coupling halves before proceeding with alignment. Check for angular and parallel alignment

in the Alignment Procedure. The faces and outside diameters of the coupling halves must be square and

concentric with the bores. If this condition does not exist, the Alternate Method of Alignment is recom-

mended.

Subbase mounted horizontal pumps may be shipped with or without drivers and gears. Be sure pump

and drivers are uncoupled before installation. Level by shimming beside each anchor bolt and grout as

described in Installing Pump on Foundation.

3.5.2 Alignment procedure

A check for angular alignment is made by inserting the taper gauge or feelers at four points between the

coupling faces and comparing the distance between the faces at four points spaced around the coupling.

The unit will be in angular alignment when the measurements show that the coupling faces are the same

distance apart at all points Checking angular alignment.

A check for parallel alignment is made by placing a straight edge across both coupling rims at the top,

bottom, and at both sides. The unit will be in parallel alignment when the straight edge rests evenly on

the coupling rim at all positions. Allowance may be necessary for temperature changes and for coupling

halves that are not of the same outside diameter

NOTICE:

Care must be taken to have the straight edge parallel to the axis of the shafts Checking parallel

alignment.

Figure 8: Checking parallel alignment

Angular and parallel misalignment are corrected by means of shims under the motor mounting feet. After

each change, it is necessary to recheck the alignment of the coupling halves. Adjustment in one direction

may disturb adjustments already made in another direction. It should not be necessary to adjust the

shims under the pump.

The permissible amount of misalignment will vary with the type of pump and driver

. The manufacturer’s

recommendations should be obtained and followed.

When the driver is to be mounted on the subbase in the field, it is necessary to place the subbase with

pump on the foundation to level the pump shaft, to check the coupling faces, the suction and discharge

flanges for horizontal or vertical position, and to make any necessary corrective adjustments.

When the units are lined up cold, it may be necessary to make an allowance for the vertical rise of the

driver and/or pump caused by heating. Goulds Pumps recommendations should be obtained and fol-

lowed.

3.5.3 Alternate method of alignment

An approved method for putting the coupling halves in final accurate alignment is by the use of a dial

indicator. Check alignment by straight edge, taper gauge or feelers as accurately as possible by the pro-

cedure indicated above.

Bolt the indicator to the pump half of the coupling, with the indicator button resting on the other half cou-

pling periphery, set the dial to zero, and chalk mark the coupling half at the point where the button rests.

For any check, top, bottom, or sides, rotate both shafts by the same amount; i.e., all readings on the dial

must be made with button on the chalk mark.

The readings will indicate whether the driver has to be raised or lowered or moved to either side. After

each movement, check to see that coupling faces remain parallel to one another.

With this method, accurate alignment of shaft centers can be obtained even where faces or outside di-

ameters of the coupling halves are not square or concentric with the bores, provided all measurements

for angular alignment are made between the same two points on the faces, and all measurements for

parallel alignment are made between the same two points on the outside diameters. Gross deviations in

squareness or concentricity, however, may cause problems due to coupling unbalance or abnormal cou-

pling wear and may need to be corrected for reasons other than accomplishment of shaft alignment.

3.5.4 Alignment of gear type couplings

Gear type couplings are aligned in the same manner as outlined above. However, the coupling covers

must be moved back out of the way and measurements made on the coupling hubs as shown Gear cou-

pling alignment.

3.5.5 Factors that may disturb alignment

The unit should be checked periodically for alignment. If the unit does not stay in line after being properly

installed, the following are possible causes:

•

Settling, seasoning or spring of the foundation.

• Wear of the bearings.

• Pipe strains distorting or shifting the machine.
