Establish the equipment elevations as shown on the
General Arrangement drawing. The equipment train
must be leveled prior to grouting to verify final
alignment can be achieved.
• For leveling a precision (machinist) level,
graduated in 0.05 mm/m (0.0005 in./ft) increments is
required.
Do not grout baseplate [6110] prior to
leveling the baseplate [6110].
Baseplate [6110] must not be lifted
with driver [8000] mounted.
When lifting, sling baseplate [6110]
from all lifting eyes provided. Failure to do this may
result in permanent deformation of baseplate [6110].
Begin leveling at high end of baseplate [6110]. Level
crosswise on this end till pads are within 0.16 mm/m
(0.002 in./ft). Adjust the baseplate [6110] to achieve
this degree of level by using built in leveling screws.
Proceed to the rest of the pads repeating the
procedure above until the baseplate [6110] is level in
the crosswise direction. If possible, span the pads
with a flat bar and check level across pads.
Level both sides of the baseplate [6110] in the
lengthwise direction to 0.16 mm/m (0.002 in./ft) to a
maximum of 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) over the entire
length of the baseplate [6110].
Tighten the anchor bolts and check the level in both
crosswise and lengthwise direction. If tightening
disturbs the level, adjust leveling screws till level
ness is achieved when anchor bolts are tight.
If the pads cannot be leveled within this designated
tolerance, please contact your Flowserve
representative for appropriate corrective action.
Mount all equipment, if necessary, and proceed to
alignment.
4.6 Equipment mounting
4.6.1 General considerations
Pump is mounted on baseplate [6110] at the factory
and shipped to the site on baseplate [6110].
The driver [8000] may already be mounted on the
baseplate [6110] depending upon its size.
Refer to the driver [8000] IOM and General
Arrangement drawing for additional information.
4.6.2 Soft foot check
The pump feet shall be checked for soft feet. The
hold down bolts should be torqued to the values
listed in the torque tables. Then one foot shall be
loosened with an indicator contacting the top of the
foot. The maximum allowable foot movement shall
be 0.25 mm (0.010 in.). Re-tighten this foot and
proceed to the next. If any foot has more than the
maximum allowable soft foot movement, please
contact your Flowserve representative for
appropriate corrective action.
4.7 Vertical thermal rise of equipment
The pump and driver [8000] will
normally have to be aligned at ambient temperature
and should be corrected to allow for thermal
expansion at operating temperature.
A hot check can only be made after the unit has
been in operation a sufficient length of time to
assume its NORMAL operating temperature and
conditions. If the unit has been properly cold set, the
coupling [7000] hub misalignment will be within
0.050 mm total indicator run-out (0.002 in. TIR) and
coupling [7000] hub faces are parallel within 0.025
mm (0.001 in.) when in operation. If not, make
adjustments.
Refer to "RIM AND FACE DATA SHEET";
see 4.11.
It is recommended, the completed "RIM
AND FACE DATA SHEET" (see 4.11) be retained as
part of your permanent maintenance file.
Do not attempt any maintenance, inspection,
repair or cleaning in the vicinity of rotating
equipment. Such action could result in injury to
operating personnel.
Before attempting any inspection or repair on
the pump, the driver [8000] controls must be in the
“OFF” position, locked and tagged to prevent
restarting equipment and injury to personnel
performing service on the pump.
4.8 Initial shafts / coupling [7000]
alignment
4.8.1 General considerations
The following information regarding
shafts alignment is only offered as a general
guideline to the customer. Flowserve Corp. requires
that all shafts alignment be performed in accordance
with specifications set forth in Chapter 7 'Shaft
Alignment' from API Recommended Practices
