2.2 PUMP REQUIREMENTS
A. Construction: Construction of pumps shall conform to the following requirements:
1. All major pump parts shall be made of cast iron conforming to ASTM A 48, Class 30 or better. The casing assembly and drive connection shall permit the removal of the rotating element without disconnecting the piping. Casing parts shall have registered fit to maintain alignment. The nozzle flanges shall be flat faced, with ANSI/ASME B16.1, Class 125 diameter and drilling. Pipe-tapped openings shall be provided for draining, priming, and venting the casing. Cast iron casings shall be provided with plugged gauge cock connections on the suction and discharge nozzles. The pump shall contain no points of critical clearance nor require periodic adjustment or replacement to maintain reasonable pumping efficiency. All waterway passageways shall be free from hollows, pinholes, cracks, fins, and projections that might cause cavitation.
2. Impeller: The impeller shall be a one-piece casting. The impeller shall be completely machined on all exterior surfaces, except when high chrome alloy material is specified. The interior water passages shall have uniform sections and smooth surfaces and shall be free from cracks and porosity. The impeller shall be securely locked to the shaft so that it will not be loosened by reverse rotation, but shall be easily removable. The impeller shall be of the enclosed type, statically and hydraulically balanced, and keyed to the pump shaft.
3. Bearings: Regreasable lubricated ball bearing type. Bearings shall have an ABMA L10 Life Rating of 40,000 hours at specified operating conditions. The pump shaft speed shall not exceed the limits specified by the bearing manufacturer.
4. Shaft: Steel, AISI 1045.
5. Seal: Mechanical seal, single or double, internally cooled.
6. Wear Ring: Bronze (ASTM-B584-932).
7. Hardware: All exposed nuts, bolts, and miscellaneous hardware shall be Type
316 stainless steel if available as a manufacturer’s standard option. Otherwise manufacturer’s standard shall be supplied.
8. Mounting Method: Support foot casing supports.
9. Pump Connection: Flanged with dimensions conforming to ANSI B16.1, Class
125.
B. Drive: Each pump shall be driven by a TEFC motor through a flexible coupling. The motor shall be suitable for use with a variable frequency drive and meet the requirements of Section 16220, Electric Motors. The motor shall be furnished by the pump manufacturer and be coordinated with the requirements of the VFD, and pump, sized to be non over loading during operation at any point on the pump curve. The flexible coupling shall have a horsepower rating 1.25 times the motor nameplate horsepower when the misalignment is within the manufacturer's tolerance limit. Coupling design shall permit removal of the pump rotating element without disconnecting the piping, moving the drive unit, or axial movement of the coupling halves on the shaft. When the pump is installed in a classified area, it shall be approved and labeled for such area. Refer to the Drawings for area classification information.
C. Control: The Instrumentation and controls shall be provided as indicated on the P&IDs, elementary diagrams (control schematics) and shall be in accordance with Divisions 16, Electrical, and 17, Instrumentation and Control, of the Specifications. The design Drawings shall be modified to support the selected over temperature switch configuration used by the manufacturer for the motor.
D. Painting: Pumps and motors shall be painted according to Section 09800, Protective
Coating, of these Specifications.
