When the pump is used in an ATEX zone it is necessary to measure
the duty point and check that temperature increase corresponding
to each working condition is acceptable regarding selected surface
temperature.

5. 2. 2. 4 MA XIMUM ALLOWABLE SPEED A ND NUMB ER OF
STARTS PER HOUR
Maximum speed :
The maximum speed for each pump size is indicated in the table below.
Maximum allowable speed depends on working temperature and
impeller diameter.

100‐160 100‐200
Number of starts per hour :
Wait for pump full stop before starting‐up the pump again to
avoid damaging the motor and the pump.
Starting frequency depends on motor type. Ask manufacturer if
necessary.
A maximum of 8 starts per hour is recommended.
5.2.2.5 TYPE OF HANDLED FLUIDS
The pump is used to transfer overheated water from 120°C to 230°C.
5.2.3
DIRECTION OF ROTATION
Serious damage can result if the pump is started or run in the
wrong direction of rotation.
Ensure that the direction of rotation is correct before first start‐up or if
maintenance work has been carried out on the electric power supply.
Direction of rotation must correspond to the arrow attached or
engraved in the pump.
Check direction of rotation when motor is apart (coupling spacer
dismantled or motor not coupled to pump). If not feasible due to pump
design (pump fitted with rigid coupling) it is necessary to check that
pump shaft turns freely after the test and before final pump start.

To check direction of rotation start motor briefly and check direction of
rotation just before rotation stops. If direction of rotation must be
modified then reverse two phases in motor junction box.
It is possible to change two phases in the control cabinet on motor
starter connections. If this solution is preferred then it will be
necessary to modify the identification of the cables in the electrical
drawings too.
5.2.4
NOISE LEVEL
Noise level of a complete pump set depends on motor type and speed,
on quality and wear of flexible coupling (if concerned), on fluid velocity,
piping design, ... Values given hereafter are only indicative and based on
fan cooled electric motors average noise levels.
The test must be perfomed on the supplied pump if the noise level
must be certified.
If noise level is higher than 85dBA, personel working in pump area
should wear hearing protections.

Suction flange axis is horizontal and the face is vertical.
Discharge flange axis is vertical and the face is horizontal.

PERMISSIBLE FORCES AND MOMENTS
No other stress than the one due to tightening of pipe and pump
flanges together should apply. No stress must be applied to pump
casing by the pipe work. A pre‐stress may exceptionally be applied to
flanges to compensate a pipe expansion. But in any case the resulting
forces should not exceed values given hereafter.
The values are determined on the basis of ISO/DIN 5199 – Class II
(1997)‐ Appendix B, family N°2 for a max working temperature of
110°C. Pump casing made of FGL cast Iron.
Following coefficients were applied to basic values :
Pump assembled on cast iron base:
Forces : 0,4 x F

Moments : 0,4 x F

Pump assembled on grouted cast iron base frame :
Forces : F x [1,5 – (12,5/Flange DN)]
Moments : M x (1 + Flange DN/250)
Coefficient due to flange rating :
