Operating Limits

• Shaft Deflection: Less than 0.002 inches (.05 mm) at all operating points.
• Bearing Life: Bearings sized for 10-year average life under tough operating conditions.
• Casing Thickness: Class 150 pumps feature Class 300 wall thickness as standard.
• Temperature Capability:
  • Centerlines-mounted casing option for high temperature services: 500˚ to 700˚ F (260˚ to 370˚C).
  • Bearing frame finned cooler recommended for temperatures over 350°F (177°C) with conventional oil. With synthetic oil, the pump can run up to 450°F without cooling. Above 450°F, a high-temperature option is required.
  • i-ALERT®2 temperature alarm defaults to 80°C (176°F).

Feed Water

The pump is ideally suited for:

• Corrosives and abrasives.
• Liquids containing solids and stringy fibers.
• Corrosive/erosive liquids containing solids and stringy materials.
• Liquids containing solids, air, or vapors.
• Tough pumping services, especially corrosives and slurries.

Electrical

• i-ALERT®2 Battery Life: 3-year battery life (use dependent).

Mechanical / Hydraulic

• Impeller:
  • Fully open impeller design, acknowledged best for CPI services.
  • Two times more wear area than closed-type impellers for longer life.
  • Back pump-out vanes reduce pressure on the shaft seal, reduce axial thrust on the bearings, and control seal chamber pressure.
  • External impeller adjustment allows for simple restoration of clearances and performance renewal.
• Seal Chambers:
  • Engineered seal chambers (BigBore™ and TaperBore™ PLUS) provide improved lubrication and heat removal for extended seal life.
  • TaperBore® PLUS design includes a Vane Particle Ejector to direct solids, air, and vapors away from the mechanical seal.
  • Goulds Dynamic Seal option eliminates the need for a mechanical seal on tough services, reducing maintenance costs and eliminating seal water use, pumpage contamination, and product dilution.
  • Wide range of sealing arrangements and all ANSI B73.1 seal flush and cooling plans are available, including CPI PLAN 7311 (by-pass flush) and CPI PLAN 7353 (pressurized circulation).
• Power End (i-FRAME®):
  • Patented design maximizes reliability and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF).
  • Backed by a 5-year standard warranty.
  • Bearings:
    • Severe-duty thrust bearings increase bearing life 2-5 times.
    • High purity steels and heat treatment to SO stabilization levels provide superior thermal stability.
    • Bearing balls manufactured to at least one ISO grade above standard (ISO P5 for ring running accuracy and ISO P6 for dimensions) for reduced vibration and noise.
    • Flinger/channel oil lubrication system provides 30% increased L'10 life and 15°F (8°C) reduced oil temperature.
    • For high load applications, an oversized shaft and bearing assembly improves bearing life 150% - 200% and reduces oil operating temperature by 45°F (25°C). Duplex thrust bearings (40°/40° angular contact) are used.
  • Shaft: Rugged shaft maintains deflection of less than 0.002 inches at all operating points.
  • Oil Sump: Optimized design with 10%-20% increased sump size for better heat transfer and cooler bearings. Contoured design directs contaminants away from bearings to a magnetic drain plug.
  • Bearing Protection: INPRO VBXX-D Hybrid Bearing Isolators with stainless steel rotors prevent lubricant contamination. These seals are non-contacting and do not wear.
  • Oil Level Monitoring: One-inch Bull’s Eye Sight Glass assures proper oil level.
• Condition Monitoring (i-ALERT®):
  • i-ALERT® Condition Monitor continuously measures vibration and temperature at the thrust bearing, providing visible indication of pump health and early warning of potential failures.
  • Optional i-ALERT®2 Bluetooth Equipment Health Monitor tracks vibration, temperature, and run-time hours 24/7/365. It alarms if equipment is outside normal operating conditions, stores data for up to 5 years, and is rated IP67 water & dust resistant and Intrinsically Safe.
• Casing:
  • Ductile iron frame adapter with material strength equal to carbon steel.
  • Top centerline discharge for air handling and self-venting.
  • Back pull-out design for ease of maintenance.
  • Integral casing feet prevent pipe load misalignment.
  • Serrated flanges standard for positive sealing, meeting ANSI B16.5 requirements. Class 150 FF flanges are standard, with optional Class 150 RF, 300 FF/RF.
  • Fully confined gasket at casing joint protects alignment fit.
• Mounting Systems:
  • Rigid baseplate prevents distortion and maintains pump/motor alignment.
  • Complete range of pump mounting systems available.
  • C-face motor adapter option simplifies pump/motor alignment.
  • 3196CC (Close Coupled) configuration available for certain sizes, saving space and reducing maintenance/alignment needs.
• Guards:
  • ANSI Coupling Guard meets ANSI B15.1 specifications.
  • Shaft Guard available when required.
• Dimensions and Weights: See the official PDF for exact tabulated values for pump sizes, discharge/suction sizes, bare pump weights, and dimensional measurements (X, A, B, D, SP).
