3 PUMP DESCRIPTION
3.1 Configurations
The multi-stage centrifugal pump is designed for the
pumping of cold water or all clear liquids which are
not solid and liquid mixtures, non-corrosive, non-
abrasive or non-explosive when in contact with the
pump motor unit and its working parts (Important: for
other liquids consult FLOWSERVE for beforehand
advice).
The FP type pump is a centrifugal, multi-stage,
single suction and radial joint plan pump.
The modular design (2 hydraulics by pump type,
number of stages variation) enables an accurate
pump adjustment to the required operating
conditions.
It can be driven by electric motor, steam turbine, or
petrol or diesel motor.
The pump must be stored in a non-explosive,
ventilated location, sheltered from bad weather, dust
and vibrations.
