PURPOSE AND USE OF PROCESS INDUSTRY PRACTICES

In an effort to minimize the cost of process industry facilities, this Practice has
been prepared from the technical requirements in the existing standards of major
industrial users, contractors, or standards organizations. By harmonizing these technical
requirements into a single set of Practices, administrative, application, and engineering
costs to both the purchaser and the manufacturer should be reduced. While this Practice
is expected to incorporate the majority of requirements of most users, individual
applications may involve requirements that will be appended to and take precedence over
this Practice. Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and particular matters or
application of the Practice to particular project or engineering situations should not be
made solely on information contained in these materials. The use of trade names from
time to time should not be viewed as an expression of preference but rather recognized as
normal usage in the trade. Other brands having the same specifications are equally
correct and may be substituted for those named. All practices or guidelines are intended
to be consistent with applicable laws and regulations including OSHA requirements. To
the extent these practices or guidelines should conflict with OSHA or other applicable
laws or regulations, such laws or regulations must be followed. Consult an appropriate
professional before applying or acting on any material contained in or suggested by the
Practice.

Definitions
For the purposes of this Practice the following definitions apply:
Best Efficiency Point (BEP): Point or capacity at which a pump achieves its highest efficiency
Cartridge Mechanical Seal: A mechanical seal unit, including sleeve, gland, primary seals,
and secondary seals, that can be tested as a unit and installed as a unit
Critical Speed: Rotative speed corresponding to a lateral natural frequency of a rotor
Design: Term used by equipment designer and vendor to define various parameters, e.g.
design power, design pressure, design temperature, or design speed
Drive Train Components: Items of equipment, e.g. motor, gear, turbine, engine, fluid drive,
clutch, used in series to drive the pump
Maximum Allowable Temperature: Maximum continuous temperature for which the vendor
has designed the equipment when handling the specified liquid at the specified pressure
Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP): Maximum continuous pressure for which
the vendor has designed the equipment when it is operating at the maximum allowable
temperature
Maximum Continuous Speed (in revolutions per minute): Speed at least equal to 105% of the
highest speed required by any of the specified operating conditions
Maximum Discharge Pressure: Maximum suction pressure plus the maximum differential
pressure that the pump is able to develop when operating with the maximum impeller diameter
at maximum continuous speed and maximum specified relative density (specific gravity)
Maximum Suction Pressure: Highest suction pressure to which the pump is subjected during
operation
Minimum Continuous Stable Flow: Lowest flow at which the pump can operate without
exceeding the vibration limits imposed by this Practice
Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH): Total absolute suction head, in meters (feet) of liquid,
determined at the suction nozzle and referred to the datum elevation, minus the vapor pressure
of the liquid, in meters (feet) absolute. Datum elevation is top of the foundation.
Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA): NPSH determined by purchaser for the
pumping system with the liquid at the rated flow and normal pumping temperature
Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR): NPSH determined by vendor testing with
water NPSHR is measured at the suction flange and corrected to the top of the foundation.
NPSHR is the minimum NPSH at rated capacity required to prevent a head drop of more than
3% (first-stage head in multistage pumps) due to cavitation within the pump.
Page 5 of 37
PIP RESP003V
October 1997
Normal Wear Parts: Parts normally restored or replaced at each pump overhaul. Typically
these are wear rings, interstage bushings, balancing device, throat bushing, seal faces, bearings
and all gaskets.
Operating Region: Region of a pumps hydraulic coverage over which it operates
Operating Region - Acceptable: Region over which the pump is allowed to operate, based on
upper vibration limit specified in this Practice, or temperature rise or other limitation specified
by the vendor
Operating Region - Preferred: Region over which the pumps vibration is within the base
limit specified in this Practice
Pressure Casing: Composite of all stationary pressure-containing parts of the pump,
including all nozzles, seal glands, and other attached parts but excluding the stationary and
rotating members of mechanical seals

Suction specific speed: An index of pump suction operating characteristics determined at the
BEP with the maximum diameter impeller. Suction specific speed is an indicator of the
NPSHR for given values of capacity and rotating speed and provides an assessment of the
pumps susceptibility to internal recirculation. Suction specific speed is calculated by the
following equation:
=
N(Q)0.5/(NPSHR)0.75
nqs
suction specific speed
rotative speed in revolutions per minute

flush) to the design limit of 150 C (300 F).
4.1.3
Pumps shall be capable of operating continuously up to at least 105% of rated

speed and shall be capable of operating briefly, under emergency conditions,
up to the driver trip speed.
4.1.4
Pumps that have stable head/capacity curves (continuous head rise to shutoff)
are required for all applications. If parallel operation is specified, the head rise
shall be at least 10% of the head at rated capacity. Discharge orifices shall not
be used as a means of providing a continuous rise to shutoff.
4.1.5
For wet pit pumps, vendor shall determine the total dynamic head required to
provide the specified discharge pressure at the discharge flange based on
minimum specified liquid level. Purchaser will specify the equipments normal
and rated operating points.
Page 7 of 37
PIP RESP003V
4.1.6
October 1997
Pumps shall be capable of at least a 5% head increase at rated conditions by

replacement of the impeller or impellers with ones of larger diameter or
different hydraulic design.
Comment: Purchaser may consider the use of variable speed driver or blank
stages for multistage pumps to meet this requirement.
4.1.7
Pumps with suction specific speeds greater than 11,000 require approval of
the purchaser.
4.1.8
Acceptable margins between NPSHA and NPSHR shall conform to PIP

RESP001, Section 6.
4.1.9
BEP for the furnished impeller shall preferably be between the rated point and
the normal point.
4.1.10 Acceptable operating region shall be stated in the proposal. If the allowable
operating region is limited by a factor other than vibration, that factor shall
also be stated in the proposal.
4.1.11 Pumps shall have a preferred operating region, as described in PIP RESP001,
Figures 1A and 1B.
4.1.12 Pump and seal chamber shall be continuously vented with a high point
connection in either the seal chamber or seal flush piping. Systems needing
manual venting require purchaser approval.

connected to the process piping at an elevation above the seal chamber.
4.1.13 Motors, electrical components and electrical installations shall be suitable for
the area classification (class, group, division or zone) specified by the
purchaser and shall meet the requirements of NFPA 70, Articles 500, 501 and
502, as well as local codes specified and furnished by the purchaser.
4.1.14 Pump shall perform on the test stand (if performance testing is required) and
on its permanent foundation within the vibration criteria specified in Section
4.8.2. After installation, the performance of the combined units shall be the
joint responsibility of the purchaser and the vendor.

(FM) and Underwriters Laboratory (UL) seal requirement) and this Practice.
Comment: While many suppliers can furnish pumps that conform to
Section 4.1.20, few of these pumps have the FM and/or the UL seal. Most
self-insured companies do not require the seal(s) for fire water pumps. If the
purchaser requires the seal(s), this requirement should be entered on the data
sheet.
4.2
4.3
Pressure Casing
4.2.1
MAWP of the pressure casing and flanges shall be greater than the maximum
discharge pressure at the pumping temperatures.
4.2.2

casings. Flanges in all materials that are thicker or have a larger
outside diameter than that required by ASME (ISO) standards are
acceptable.
4.3.2.5
Flanges shall be designed for through bolting.
Page 9 of 37
PIP RESP003V
4.3.2.6
4.3.3
4.4
October 1997
Flanges larger than 24 in. shall conform to the dimensional

requirements of ASME B16.42 or ASME B16.47.

Pump vendor shall submit, with the quotation, allowable nozzle loads and a figure that
defines the coordinate system(s) in which the loads are applied.
4.5
Impellers
Vendors shall notify the purchaser if an impeller made from a cored pattern is
provided.
Comment: Impellers with solid hubs are preferred. The preference to have solid
hubs is intended to minimize the danger to personnel when impellers are removed by
heating. The concern is that trapped water might vaporize and overpressure the void,
causing injury to personnel. If some other feature, such as a vent hole, is supplied, a
cored impeller might be acceptable to some users.

Renewable casing bushings shall be provided at all interstage and steadybearing points. However, the interstage pressure differential and the character
PIP RESP003V
October 1997
of the liquid handled (for example, dirty or nonlubricating) shall determine the
need for corresponding shaft sleeves.
4.7
Shaft Sealing Systems

4.7.1

the cartridge design. Hook sleeve cartridges shall not be used. Cartridge seals
shall be removable without disturbing the driver.
4.7.4
Mechanical seals shall be single (one rotating face per seal chamber) insidebalanced type.
4.7.5
Design and materials of seal components shall be suitable for the specified
service conditions. MAWP shall apply to all parts referred to in the definition
of pressure casing. Vendor shall state if pressure ratings of seals do not meet
this requirement, and shall advise the purchaser of the maximum sealing
pressure, and the seals maximum dynamic and static pressure ratings.
Comment: This Practice does not cover design of mechanical seal
components.
4.7.6
Mechanical seal materials shall be furnished in accordance with Appendix B.
4.7.7
Specified seal and pump connections shall be identified by symbols

permanently marked into the component (such as stamped, cast, or chemically

incorporate a confined gasket. Gasket shall be of the controlled-compression
type (for example, an O-ring or a spiral-wound gasket) with metal-to-metal
joint contact. If space and some pump designs and sizes make controlled
Page 11 of 37
PIP RESP003V
October 1997
compression gaskets impractical, an alternate seal gland design shall be

submitted to the purchaser for approval.
4.8
Dynamics
4.8.1
Critical Speed
Vertical pump rotor shall be designed such that its first wet lateral critical
speed is 20% above its maximum allowable continuous speed.
4.8.2
Vibration
4.8.2.1
During the performance test, unfiltered vibration measurements

and, when specified, a Fast Fourier Transfer (FFT) spectrum shall
be made at each test point except shutoff (Section 6.3.3.3.a).
Measurements shall be taken on the bearing housings in the X, Y,
and Z planes.
a. FFT spectra shall include the range of frequencies from 5 Hz
to 2Z times running speed, where Z is the number of impeller
vanes.
Comment: In multistage pumps with different impellers, Z
is the highest number of impeller vanes in either stage.
b. Plotted spectra shall be included with the pump test results.

At any speed greater than the maximum continuous speed, up to

and including the trip speed of the driver, the vibration shall not
exceed 150% of the maximum value recorded at the maximum
continuous speed.
4.8.2.5
Variable speed pumps shall operate over their specified speed range
without exceeding the vibration limits in Table 4.1.
4.8.2.6
Structural resonances (reed frequencies) of a vertical pump

assembly shall be separated from the pump operating speed by a
minimum of 20%.
4.8.2.7
If the driver horsepower is greater than 500, the vendor shall

furnish an analysis of the pump assembly to verify preconstruction
design. Purchaser and vendor shall agree on the extent, method, and
acceptance criteria of this analysis.
PIP RESP003V
October 1997
Comment: Vertically suspended pumps are generally flexible

structures with running speed between natural frequencies. As
such, they are susceptible to resonant vibration if the separation
margins between running speeds and natural frequencies are not
verified during design.
Comment: Basic structural elements typically include the
foundation, pump structures, and motor frame. Typically the
deflection of the foundation represents less than 5% of the total
deflection of the structural elements. If foundation data is not
available when the analysis is being conducted, the purchaser and
vendor shall agree on a foundation deflection value.

Special Pump Considerations

4.13.1 Diffuser-and-Volute Pumps
4.13.1.1 Discharge head mounting surface shall be suitable for grouting or
mounting on a machined sole plate.
4.13.1.2 Product-lubricated column sections shall have integral bearing
spiders and rabbeted fits for columns with inside diameter of
300 mm (12 in.) or larger.
4.13.2 Separate Discharge Cantilevered Pumps
4.13.2.1 Rotor shall be cantilevered from its bearing assembly. Submerged
bottom bearings and/or bushings shall not be used to guide the
shaft.
4.13.2.2 Shaft stiffness shall limit total deflection, without the use of a
casing bushing, so that the impeller does not contact the pump
casing under the most severe dynamic conditions over the complete
head capacity curve with a maximum diameter impeller and at the
maximum speed and fluid density.
Comment: For open-system sump-pump service, the pressure
containing components are the volute casing, suction cover, and
discharge line. For closed-system pressurized or vacuum tank
service, the outer stuffing box or seal housing, pump cover plate,
and tank cover are also pressure components.
4.13.2.3 For services with a temperature above 120 C (250 F), pumps
shall be designed to accommodate differences in thermal expansion
between the pipe column and discharge pipe and between the casing
and support plate.
4.13.2.4 Cover plate shall have lifting lugs for lifting the pump assembly
including the driver.
4.13.2.5 Discharge nozzle shall be flanged.
4.13.2.6 Pump-out vanes shall be used to reduce leakage back into the sump.
Reduction in axial thrust caused by the pump-out vanes shall not be
considered in sizing axial thrust bearings.
4.13.2.7 Coupling hubs shall be supplied with a slip fit to the shafts. Keys
shall be secured to the shaft with set screws.
Comment: The slip fit facilitates final coupling adjustment for
variations in spacing between shaft ends. Spacer couplings are not
typically required for separate discharge cantilever-type pumps.
4.13.3 Vertical Can Pumps
4.13.3.1 Complete venting of the outer case shall be ensured by a high point
vent connection.
Page 19 of 37
PIP RESP003V
October 1997
4.13.3.2 Inner assembly within the seal chamber or associated auxiliary

process piping shall have a feature that ensures complete venting.
4.13.3.3 Suction can shall have a low point drain piped to the surface.

Driver shall be suitable for satisfactory operation under the utility and site
conditions specified.
5.1.4
If the end-of-curve power is less than 4 kW (5 hp) the next standard size
larger motor shall be used.
Comment: The purpose of this requirement is to overcome startup problems
due to slow acceleration of small motors in overcoming inertia and drag of
seals. Seal drag increases as suction pressures increase. Failure to consider
these factors can result in tripping the driver before operating speed is
reached.
5.1.5
If the end-of-curve power is between 5.6 kW (7.5 hp) and 75 kW (100 hp),
motor shall be sized to cover the full operating range of the rated impeller
from shutoff to the end-of-curve without the use of a service factor. End-ofcurve power is defined as 120% of BEP except in firewater pumps in which
end-of-curve power is defined as 150% of BEP.
5.1.6
If the end-of-curve power is greater than 75 kW (100 hp), the motor shall be
sized to cover the end-of-curve power or 110% of rated power, whichever is
less. For applications such as cooling water circulating pumps that are
expected to operate at the end-of-curve during transient conditions, motor
shall be sized for operation throughout the range of the head-capacity curve.
5.1.7
Motor shall be capable of accelerating the load to rated speed at 80% of the
normal voltage.
Comment: For most applications, the starting voltage is typically greater
than 80% of the normal voltage, and the time required to accelerate to full
speed is generally less than 15 seconds.
5.1.8
Page 20 of 37
Steam turbine power rating shall be 110% of the greatest calculated power
requirement of the pump at any operating condition with specified steam
condition.
PIP RESP003V

General Notes:
a. For waters that may be in contact with hydrocarbons, purchaser shall indicate if water is
considered sour. Purchaser shall indicate if H2S is present (even in trace amounts).
b. If ammonia is present from chemical treating reactions or other sources, bronze internals shall not
be used.
c. Some types of waters described in the water description notes below are not typically encountered
in the refinery or process plant. However, these waters (or waters with similar corrosive elements)
may be pumped in auxiliary or related plant systems, thereby justifying their inclusion to cover all
user applications.
Water Description Notes:
1. Fresh potable water is assumed to be saturated or nearly saturated with oxygen and at a
temperature below 100 C (212 F). At a temperature above 100 C (212 F) water may
become aggressive and unstable and requires special material class based on water chemistry.
Class A-1 is the lowest cost class while class A-2 offers extended life for increased initial cost.
2. Cooling tower water is assumed to be recirculating. Build-up or concentration of chlorides and
other contaminants is anticipated, especially if temperature exceeds approximately 93 C (200
F). Class A-3 shall be considered for longer service life if sulfur compounds or free chlorine is
present.
Page 34 of 37
PIP RESP003V
October 1997
Table A-1 (cont.)
3. Condensate is assumed to be at a temperature below 100 C (212 F). At a temperature above

100 C (212 F), corrosiveness of water may vary widely and material class shall be based on
water stability, pH, dissolved solids, and other water chemistry parameters.
4. Treated water is assumed to be noncorrosive, i.e. treated to control scaling, pH, and fouling
(use of biocide or other additions). Caution shall be exercised in water chemistry control to
avoid excessive free chlorine.
5. Demineralized water is assumed to be low in chlorides and should be considered corrosive.
Classes C-1 & C-2 are based on considerations of minimizing corrosion and maintaining water
purity. Class C-1 is a cost-effective alternative while class C-2 may be readily available and
offered as pump vendor standard.
6. Sea water is assumed to be fully oxygenated, free-flowing, clean sea water, i.e. does not
contain hydrocarbons, and is not brackish bay water with excessively high chlorides and other
contaminants. Sea water outside this definition requires special materials recommendations.
Additionally, if flow rate is less than 1 m/sec. (3 ft./sec.) or frequently stagnant, pitting may
occur and special material recommendations are required.
7. Foul/water draw/reflux streams vary widely in corrosivity. Class B-1 or more corrosion-resistant
classes may be required. Special material recommendations shall be obtained based on
expected contaminants.
8. Produced water is corrosive and defined as sea water (or similar high chloride water from an
aquifer) that has been injected into an oil field, then rises to the surface as an oil-water mixture
with water being removed and reinjected. Typical produced water is assumed to have H2S,
possibly CO2, a minimum pH of 6.0, and maximum chlorides of 60,000 ppm. Class C-3 is
normally a minimum, but class shall be based on purchaser-supplied water chemistry,
temperature, and other parameters defined by purchaser and vendor. Classes C-4 or C-5 may
be required. Material temperature limits are dependent on specific corrosive conditions.
9. Injection water is water injected into an oil-bearing formation for the purpose of maintaining
formation pressure and enhancing oil recovery. Corrosiveness of injection water may vary
widely since it may be sea water, produced water, fresh water, or aquifer water with varying
corrosivity. Typical injection water is high in chlorides and may contain H2S and CO2. Class C-3
is normally a minimum, but class shall be based on purchaser-supplied water chemistry,
temperature, and other parameters defined by purchaser and vendor. Classes C-4 or C-5 may
be required. Material temperature limits are dependent on specific corrosive conditions.
10. Formation water is similar to produced water and is considered a highly saline water (brine). It
comes from aquifers and other sources. Typically, formation water has high concentration of
chlorides (150,000 ppm or higher), possibly H2S, and near neutral pH. Material class shall be
based on purchaser-supplied water chemistry, temperature, and other parameters defined by
purchaser and vendor. Classes C-4, C-5 or other special materials beyond the scope of this
Practice may be required. Material temperature limits are dependent on specific corrosive
conditions.

Notes:
(1) Mating wear surfaces of hardenable materials shall have a difference in Brinell hardness
numbers of at least 50 BHN, unless both wear surfaces have BHN of 400 or higher.
Page 36 of 37
PIP RESP003V
October 1997
Table B-1 (cont.)
(2) Requirement for hard-facing and specific hard-facing material may be specified by the
purchaser on data sheets. Method of hard-facing application may also be specified by
purchaser, or both material and method of application may be specified by mutual agreement
between purchaser and vendor. Alternatives to hard-facing may include opening of running
clearances and/or use of nongalling materials.
(3) Duplex (austenitic-ferritic) stainless steels are typically identified by trade name and have
slightly varying composition and corrosion-resistant properties. One of the most common
wrought duplex steels (UNS 31803) has a nominal composition of 22% chromium, 5.5% nickel,
3% molybdenum and .14% nitrogen.
(4) Super Duplex stainless steels are distinguished from standard duplex steels (Note 3) by their
increased amounts of chromium (25% nominal) and other alloys, typically nickel, molybdenum
and nitrogen. They are most frequently designated by trade name with slightly varying
compositions and specific corrosion resistance.
(5) 6-Moly (super austenitic) stainless steels are enhanced austenitic stainless steels that have
maximum resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. These steels are typically required for the
most severe services with high chloride concentrations. These steels are designated by trade
name. Choice of a specific steel shall be based on purchaser preference, mutual agreement
between purchaser and vendor, and/or specific corrosive conditions.
(6) Seal and vent piping shall be compatible with metallurgy of pump components. For classes A-1,
A-2 and A-3, pipe shall conform to ASTM A106 Gr. B, and fittings shall conform to ASTM A105.
For classes B-1, C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4 and C-5, pipe and fittings shall be made of appropriate
stainless steel for the corrosivity of the system.
(7) Wetted fasteners shall be compatible with the pump metallurgy and corrosivity of the pumped
water. Some materials, especially austenitic stainless steels, are prone to galling. Precautions
are required to avoid this problem.
(8) Meehanite is an acceptable alternate for cast iron.
(9) Fluted synthetic cutless rubber or thordon (or equivalent) shall be used in abrasive service.
