 PURPOSE AND USE OF PROCESS INDUSTRY PRACTICES

In an effort to minimize the cost of process industry facilities, this Practice has
been prepared from the technical requirements in the existing standards of major
industrial users, contractors, or standards organizations. By harmonizing these
technical requirements into a single set of Practices, administrative, application, and
engineering costs to both the purchaser and the manufacturer should be reduced. While
this Practice is expected to incorporate the majority of requirements of most users,
individual applications may involve requirements that will be appended to and take
precedence over this Practice. Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and
particular matters or application of the Practice to particular project or engineering
situations should not be made solely on information contained in these materials. The
use of trade names from time to time should not be viewed as an expression of
preference but rather recognized as normal usage in the trade. Other brands having the
same specifications are equally correct and may be substituted for those named. All
Practices or guidelines are intended to be consistent with applicable laws and
regulations including OSHA requirements. To the extent these Practices or guidelines
should conflict with OSHA or other applicable laws or regulations, such laws or
regulations must be followed. Consult an appropriate professional before applying or
acting on any material contained in or suggested by the Practice.

This Practice is subject to revision at any time.

Definitions
Terms used in this Practice to introduce the exceptions to the requirements in ASME B73.1 are
defined as follows:

2. Alternative Design
Add:
2.1 Vendor's quotation shall conform to this Practice and purchaser's addenda. At the
vendor's option, an alternate quotation may be offered if the following two
conditions are met:
2.1.1 If there is a significant process or delivery advantage, a superior, more
reliable pump design may be offered. The vendor shall provide the technical
justification.
2.1.2 Alternate quotation shall indicate deviations from the requirements in this
Practice. Complete details of deviations shall be submitted to purchaser for
review.
2.2 If vendor’s quotation indicates no deviations from the requirements in this Practice,
it shall be assumed by the purchaser that the pump quoted complies fully with this
Practice. Deviation to the dimensional standards shall be noted in the vendor’s
proposal and must be noted on supporting dimension drawings.

3. Nomenclature and Definitions

Add:
3.1.1 Minimum Continuous Stable Flow is the minimum flow at which the pump
can operate without exceeding vibration limits specified by this Practice.
3.1.2 Minimum Continuous Thermal Flow is the minimum flow at which the
pump can operate without its operation being impaired by the temperature
rise of the pumped liquid.
3.1.3 Normal Operating Point is the point at which usual operation is expected.
3.1.4 Rated Shaft Power is the power required by the pump shaft at specified rated
operating conditions, including capacity, suction and discharge pressures,
specific gravity, viscosity and all mechanical losses (seals, gears, couplings,
etc.).
3.1.5 Rated Suction Pressure is the suction pressure of the operating conditions at
the Rated Operating Point.
3.1.6 Shaft Stiffness Ratio is a measure of the stiffness of the pump shaft
determined from the following formula:
L3 / D4 ( 1/mm )
where:
L = length of shaft from center of impeller to nearest bearing (mm)
D = diameter of the shaft in the seal chamber (mm)
Note: A lower stiffness ratio means the shaft has smaller deflections, which
decreases wear of the seal. For shafts made of 4140 steel, industry

Horizontal End Suction Centrifugal Pumps for Chemical Process

experience has shown that stiffness ratios lower than 60 significantly

improve seal life.
3.1.7 Solid Shaft Design is a pump shaft design in which the shaft has standard
dimensions without using a sleeve.
3.1.8 Throat Bushing is a device that forms a restrictive close clearance around the
sleeve (or shaft) between the seal (or packing) and the impeller.
3.1.9 Throttle Bushing is a device that forms a restrictive close clearance around
the sleeve or shaft between a seal and the atmosphere.

cooling jackets are susceptible to corrosion and fouling issues,
Constraining the growth of the bearing outer race may lead to
shortened bearing life. At the temperature limits of this Practice,
cooling jackets are of limited effectiveness.

disassembly of the pump.
4.4.3 Balance
Modify to Read: Impellers shall be dynamically balanced in accordance
with ISO 1940, quality grade G6.3 after trimming to the required diameter. If
