these User Instructions. This is typically 80 to 85 dBA.
1.7.2 Safety labels
The usual approach is to control the exposure time to
the noise or to enclose the machine to reduce emitted
sound. You may have already specified a limiting
noise level when the equipment was ordered,
however if no noise requirements were defined, then
attention is drawn to the following table to give an
indication of equipment noise level so that you can
take the appropriate action in your plant.

Pump noise level is dependent on a number of

operational factors, flow rate, pipework design and
acoustic characteristics of the building, and so the
values given are subject to a 3 dBA tolerance and
cannot be guaranteed.
Similarly the motor noise assumed in the pump and
motor noise is that typically expected from standard
and high efficiency motors when on load directly
driving the pump. Note that a motor driven by an
inverter may show an increased noise at some
speeds.

If a pump unit only has been purchased for fitting with

your own driver then the pump only noise levels in
the table should be combined with the level for the
driver obtained from the supplier. Consult Flowserve
Oil lubricated units only: or a noise specialist if assistance is required in
combining the values.

It is recommended that where exposure approaches

the prescribed limit, then site noise measurements
should be made.

4.1 Location
The pump should be located to allow room for
access, ventilation, maintenance, and inspection with
ample headroom for lifting and should be as close as
practicable to the supply of liquid to be pumped.
Refer to the general arrangement drawing for the
pump set.

The supply of motors and baseplates are optional.
As a result, it is the responsibility of the installer to

practice is to achieve final alignment by moving
the motor to match the pump. Flowserve practice
is to confirm in our shop that the pump assembly
can be accurately aligned. Before shipment, the
factory verifies that there is enough horizontal
movement capability at the motor to obtain a
perfect final alignment when the installer puts
the baseplate assembly into its original, top

load capacity of the pump stands, it may be
necessary to restrain the piping to prevent loads.

* Note that it normally takes 2 hours for bearing temperature to stabilize and the final temperature will depend on the ambient, r/min, pumpage
temperature and pump size. Also some oils have a greater viscosity index than the minimum acceptable of 95 (eg Mobil DTE13M) which
may extend the minimum temperature capability of the oil. Always check the grade capability where the ambient is less than -5 C (23 F).

Use LSC for oil mist. Oil parameters provide flash point >166 C (331 F), density >0.87 @ 15 C (59 F), pour point of -10 C (14 F) or lower.
** Normal compounded oils CANNOT be used with oil mist as anti-foam additives need to be avoided. Most oils recommended for wet
splash lubrication contain foam inhibitors as well as antioxidants and anticorrosion additives, so they are unsuitable for oil mist. Some
synthetic lubricants may attack the Nitrile seals used in a regular bearing housing. The LSC LSO oils are recommended for oil mist
applications. We recommend using Royal Purple SYNFILM in one of the above ISO VG designations if syntetic oil is required for splash
bath lubrication to avoid changing to Viton seals in the bearing housing

Do not adjust the impeller clearance with the seal set.

Doing so may result in seal leakage and/or damage.

The impeller could have sharp edges,

which could cause an injury. It is very important to
wear heavy gloves.

It is recommended that two people Figure 6.3

install a Group 3 impeller. The weight of a Group 3
impeller greatly increases the chance of thread
damage and subsequent lock-up concerns.

Do not attempt to tighten the impeller

on the shaft by hitting the impeller with a hammer or
any other object or by inserting a pry bar between the
impeller vanes. Serious damage to the impeller may
result from such actions.

Flowserve performs a single plane spin balance on most impellers. The following impellers are exceptions: 10X8-14, 10X8-16 and
10X8-16H. On these Flowserve performs a two plane dynamic balance, as required by the ASME B73.1M standard. All balancing,
whether single or two plane, is performed to the ISO 1940 Grade 6.3 tolerance criteria.
2. The ASME B73.1M standard does not specify a recommended level of alignment. Flowserve recommends that the pump and motor shafts
be aligned to within 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) parallel FIM (full indicator movement) and 0.0005 mm/mm (0.0005 in./in.) angular FIM. Closer
alignment will extend MTBPM. For a detailed discussion of this subject see the Alignment section of this manual.

Shaft/shaft sleeve run-out

Shaft run-out is the amount the shaft is out of true
when rotated in the pump. It is measured by
attaching a dial indicator to a stationary part of the
pump so that its contact point indicates the radial
movement of the shaft surface as the shaft is rotated
slowly. If a shaft sleeve is used then shaft sleeve
run-out must be checked. It is analogous to shaft
run-out. Measurement of shaft run-out/shaft sleeve
run-out will disclose any out of roundness of the
shaft, any eccentricity between the shaft and the
sleeve, any permanent bend in the shaft, and/or any Shaft endplay
