| Organization: | PIP |
| Publication Date: | 1 October 2010 |
| Status: | inactive |
| Page Count: | 36 |
scope:
This Practice covers manufacturing and performance requirements for vertical centrifugal pumps and their accessories.
Fire water pumps are covered by NFPA 20 and are not covered by this Practice.
This document is a complete revision of PIP RESP003V, and therefore, revision markings are not provided.
Pump Types
Pumps covered by this Practice are broadly classified as diffuser-andvolute, 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.
Service Conditions
Pumps with service conditions within the limits listed below are covered in this Practice:
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.
