Technical Specifications for centrifugal pumps.
Specification for Horizontal End Suction Centrifugal Pumps for Chemical Process. This standard is intended to provide interchangeability among pumps that adhere to the same dimensional standard to facilitate installation and maintenance. It applies to horizontal, end suction single stage, centerline discharge centrifugal pumps. This standard covers pump characteristics such as the size and location of suction and discharge ports, input shafts, baseplates and mounting bolt holes.
Specification for Horizontal End Suction Centrifugal Pumps for Chemical Process. Similar to the above standard, but concerns vertical centrifugal pumps.
Specification for horizontal end-suction centrifugal pumps up to 16 bar- It includes the principal dimensions and nominal duty point as well as the dimensions for seal cavities and base plate installations.
