This document serves as the user instructions for Flowserve's Vertical Turbine Pumps (VTPs), specifically covering the E, S, and A series in wet pit and suction barrel configurations. It details the scope of the manual, which includes pumps ranging in sizes from 50 mm to 1300 mm with single or multiple stages, excluding those with thrust bearing assemblies or built for cryogenic service. The guide is intended to facilitate familiarization with the product and ensure safe operation in compliance with local regulations.
The pumps are available in sizes ranging from 50 mm (6 in.) to 1300 mm (52 in.).
Appropriate safety gloves and equipment are required when handling components, and a crane must be used to lift heavy pieces above 25 kg (55 lb.).
Partial decomposition of fluoro-elastomers will occur, making them extremely dangerous and requiring that skin contact be avoided.
