Description / Abstract:
This Practice describes manufacturing and performance
requirements for vertical centrifugal pumps and their
accessories.
This Practice covers pumps with service conditions within the
following limits:
a. Maximum discharge pressure 35 Barg (500 psig)
b. Minimum pumping temperature 0°C (32°F)
c. Maximum pumping temperature 150°C (300°F)
d. Maximum rotational speed 3,600 rpm
Comment: For services
outside these conditions and those that fall within the
capabilities of ANSI/ASME pumps, it is recommended that PIP RESP73V
be used for purchase of pumps.
Pumps covered by this Practice are broadly classified as
diffuser-and-volute, separate discharge cantilevered, and vertical
can.
Vertical in-line and submersible pumps have special design
characteristics and are not included in the scope of this
Practice.
Fire water pumps are covered by NFPA 20 and are not covered by
this Practice.
Purpose
This Practice provides requirements for design and manufacture
of vertical centrifugal pumps of 150 kW (200 HP) or greater used
for water services.
Comment: Water services
include condensate, cooling water, demineralized water, utility
water, produced water, treated water, etc.
