Alignment of the pump base shall be carried out as follows, unless otherwise specified:
(2) Elevation of finished surface of base plate shall be measured on the basis of the level
marking on the foundation.
(3) Position of the pump Centre marked on the base frame, shall be measured on the
basis of the Centre marking of the foundation.
(4) For measuring of the perpendicularity or level, the finished surface of the base frame
shall be the basis.
Alignment of the shafts shall be carried out within the tolerance in the following table, unless
otherwise specified:
2) Tolerance for angular deflection of shafts shall be in accordance with the coupling
manufacturers specification. Tolerance 0.07 mm shall be applied when there is no
requirement in manufacturers specification.
3) Method of the alignment is as follows:
a) Fix two dial indicators on the shaft 2, so that one of their tips comes in contact with
the circumference of shaft 1, another with the face of shaft 1. The two contact points
on shaft 1 shall be as near as possible to each other
b) Turn shaft 2 fully once, and check fluctuation in the tip contact.
c) Set the scales of two-dial indicator to zero at the top point of shaft 1.
d) Turn shaft 2 slowly through 3600, and read indications of the two dial indicators at
every 900 .
e) Turn shaft 1 by 1800 .Repeat the procedure as described in Par. (d).
f) Result of the alignment shall) be the average of the two measurements of Par. (d)
and (e).
Distance between the couplings shall be confirmed to meet the dimension specified
in the drawings, after the shafts are set to the base line.
