1. CS = Carbon Steel SS = Stainless Steel DX = Duplex Stainless Steel NAB = Nickel Aluminum Bronze DEL = Delrin Disc Valves TIT = Titanium Disc Valves AR = Abrasion Resistant Valves 2. 3. Packing Lube can be used when contamination of pumped liquid by packing lubricant is acceptable. Tungsten coated stainless steel plungers are the most commonly used and well suited for all fluids. Solid ceramic plungers work well with abrasive fluids such as water applications but should not be used where thermal shock or flammable liquids or gases are present. There are many variations of packings available for every application. Consult with FMC to determine the best option to suit your fluid type, temperature and lubrication needs. Consult with FMC on the correct grade of CS or SS to use for your application. Adjusting Nuts that are made from SS and used in SS stuffing boxes have an anti-seize coating to prevent galling. Delrin disc valves are rated for pressures up to 1,800 psi and temperatures up to 150 degrees F. Titanium disc valves are rated for pressures up to 2,500 psi and temperatures up to 300 degrees F. AR valves with Viton inserts are rated for pressures up to 10,000 psi and temperatures up to 300 degrees F. AR valves with Urethane inserts are rated for pressures up to 10,000 psi and temperatures up to 160 degrees F. AR valves with metal to metal seats are rated for pressures up to 10,000 psi and temperatures higher than 160 degrees F. Vapourless Stuffing Boxes should be used when pumping a flammable or hazardous liquid that should be prevented from leaking to atmosphere. In some cases, the addition of a sealed cradle is a good secondary barrier to leakage to atmosphere.

Pump Options and Adders

Fluid End Options
Cradle Purge System Used in conjunction with a sealed cradle to purge the oxygen, flammable, or toxic gases from the cradle area with an inert gas such as Nitrogen. This would be used to prevent any hydrocarbon or other reactive exposure in the cradle area. Flushable Stuffng Ported stuffing box that allows a clean fluid to flush in and out to remove contamination that can damage wearable Box components prematurely or to cool the friction surfaces. Liner Wash System Used on piston pumps to wash the cylinder liners during pumping process to reduce the debris from pumping, cool friction surfaces, and extend component life. Lubricated Stuffing Ported stuffng box that allows a packing lubricant to be pumped directly into the packing area for better lubrication Box than an external drip. Used to reduce the friction on and extend the life of wearable components. Material Certification Documentation of the material certification of the pressure containing fluid end components. NACE Used in sour (high H2S) applications where certain materials are not allowed due to corrosion and/or reduction of material strength. Packing Lubricator Used in conjunction with a lubricated or vapourless stuffing box to provide forced lubrication to the stuffing box for reduced friction and extended life of the wearable components. Sealed Cradle Provides a complete seal of the cradle area to prevent all leakage from exiting the cradle area except from the appropriate drain points. Vapourless Stuffing Ported stuffing box with secondary packing that allows any leakage to be collected and sent to the vent manifold Box system. Packing lubrication is required for this option to lubricate and cool the secondary seals. Vent Manifold Used in conjunction with the vapourless stuffing box to collect any leakage for removal, collection and/or disposal. System The vent manifold system uses an orifice to build back pressure and a pressure switch to send a signal for alarm and/or shutdown in the case that the leakage exceeds the set limit.

Valve Options
AR Valves Abrasion resistant valves use a tapered seat, hard material, and an elastometric seal to reduce the wear on the valve due to abrasive particles in the pumped fluid. When the temperature of the fluid exceeds the limits of the Urethane seal a Viton seal or metal-to-metal seat option is available. The self cleaning ball valve is used in applications where a fluid is pumped with abrasive and/or lost circulation material that can cause other valves to clog during operation. The spring loaded disc valve is the most common type of valve used in reciprocating pumps. Stainless steal, Delrin, or titanium discs are available for a variety of fluid types, temperatures, and pressures. Used in extremely hot or cold applications where the potential exists for the valve to unseat due to material expansion or contraction.

Ball Valves Disc Valves Valve Tie Downs

Plunger Packing Options

Adjustable Braided The braided packing is adjustable to allow the user to tighten the packing enough to reduce leakage to acceptable Packing levels. The packing life is extended by not over tightening. Many types of material configurations are available for used with most fluid types. Header Ring Used in conjunction with v-ring packing as a wiper for abrasive fluid particles to prevent them from wearing the primary packing. Also provides the energizing force to preload the v-ring packing. High Temperature Used in high temperature applications where the fluid temperature would decrease the life of standard packing Packing materials. Spring Loaded V-ring The v-ring packing is spring loaded to eliminate the need to adjust the packing tightness allowing for optimal packing Packing life. Many types of material configurations are available for used with most fluid types.

Pump Options and Adders

Power End Options
Crankshaft Crankshaft side designation is classified by viewing the power end while standing at the fuid end side. Left hand (LH) Extensions is standard. Right hand (RH) is optional. Double Extended Crankshaft extension on both sides of the power end. Typically available on most pumps and is for drive from either Crankshafts side of power end or to drive accessory equipment. Internal Gear Reducer In some piston pumps, the internal gear reduction reduces the need for use of belts and pulleys or external gear reducers This allows for direct coupling to driver. Low Oil Level Switch Used to monitor the oil level in the power end of the pump and send a signal for alarm or shutdown in the case that the level falls too low for proper lubrication. Oil Coolers Used in conjunction with the power end pressure lube system to cool the lubrication oil before returning to the power end. Typically used in applications with hot ambient temperatures, hot pumped fluid temperatures, and/or -high suction pressures. Oil Heater Used to maintain a minimum temperature of the power end lubrication to maintain a minimal lubrication oil viscosity in cold ambient temperatures while running or shutdown. An oil heater is also used to maintain a minimum power end temperature in humid environments to prevent water condensate forming in the power end and contaminating the lubrication oil. Power End Pressure This system force feeds lubricant to the critical bearing surfaces to insure lubrication, minimize friction, reduce heat Lube System generation, and extend wear component life. Used in applications with high suction pressures, slow running speeds (less than 100 crankshaft RPM), and/or high power end temperatures due to high ambient temperatures. Driven by electric motor (standard) or by pump crank. Pressure Switch (High Use in conjunction with the power end pressure lube system to send a signal for an alarm and/or shutdown in the case and Low) that the power end system drops below a minimal level indicating not enough pressure to feed the lubricant or above a maximum level indicating a clogged line or filter. Hydraulic Motor On some pump models, a splined crankshaft and hydraulic motor mount adapter is available to reduce the need for Mount with Splined extra coupling components allowing a direct mount of the hydraulic motor to the pump power frame. This will help Crankshaft reduce the cost, size and weight of the total pump system. Tachometer RPM A tachometer interface for a magnetic pickup is available on most pump models to measure the rotations per minute Interface (RPM) for input into monitoring and control systems. Thermocouple Thermocouple interfaces for temperature sensors are available on most pump models to measure power end and Interfaces bearing temperatures for input into a monitoring and control system. Vibration Switch Vibrations switches are available for direct mount to the pump power frame to monitor the pump vibrations and send a signal for an alarm and/or shutdown in the case that the vibration exceeds maximum limits. Wrist Pin Needle Available on most pump models and used in applications with high suction pressure and/or high ambient temperature Bearings applications to allow for better lubrication on the wrist pin area.

Accessory Options
Bolt-on Gearbox Available on some pump models to allow for direct mounting of a gearbox to reduce the overall cost, size and weight of a pump system. This allows the direct coupling of the drive to the pump reducing the extra components needed to couple with an external gear reducer or belts and pulleys. Hydraulic Motors Used in conjunction with hydraulic motor mounts with splined shafts to directly mount the hydraulic motor to the power end thus reducing the overall cost, size and weight of a pump system. Packing Lube Tank Used in conjunction with a packing lubrication system to provide an extended storage of packing lubricant that can gravity feed the packing lubricator reservoir. Without the packing lube tank, the packing lubricator must be checked daily, but with the packing lube tank, it will maintain a multiple day supply (typically 20-30 days depending on tank size and feed rate). Relief Valve Positive displacement pumps require a pressure relief valve on the discharge piping between the pump and any block valves. The relief valve is to bleed pressure and fluid flow to prevent injury to personnel, damage to the pump and/or damage to the pump system. Suction and Used to attenuate pressure and fluid flow variations created by normal operation of the reciprocating pump. Pulsation Discharge Pulsation dampeners are available in several types, configurations, and sizes to meet most application attenuation requirements. Dampeners

All fluid Cylinder Test cylinders for API pumps with suction and discharge flanges are to be hydrostatically tested. Fluid cylinders are tested to 1.5 times its respective rated suction and discharge pressure for 30 minutes. Performance Test When required by customer specifications, pumps will have full performance tests that measure and record specific data that allows comparison of actual input and output parameters to determine pump efficiencies. Typically run at the normal operating condition of the application provided by the customer for 1 hour. NPSHr Test When required by customer specifications, net positive suction head required (NPSHr) test is the factory test to measure the minimum amount of suction pressure required for the pump to operate with no more than a 3% reduction in volumetric efficiency due to cavitation. Typically the NPSHr test is run at the normal operation condition of the application provided by the customer. This test can be repeated up to 5 total points for curve generation when required by the customer. FAT/String Test When required by customer specifications, final acceptance tests (FAT) or string tests will test pumps and drivers which are mounted on skids or bases and coupled together by power transmission devices. Auxiliary components such as motor control equipment, pulsation and flow control devices may be tested along with the pump unit when required. The pump units is run to measure and record specific data that allows comparison of actual input and output parameters to determine pump efficiencies. Typically run at the normal operating condition of the application provided by the customer for 1 hour.

Service Options
Short Term Storage for Severe Environments Proper storage of your FMC pump will insure that it is ready for service when started. FMC pumps come from the factory without crankcase oil and are prepared for storage periods of up to six (6) months in proper environmental conditions. Indoor storage in a dry, temperature-controlled location is always recommended. If pumps are to be stored short term (less than six (6) months) in a severe environment, they should be prepared using the FMC procedures outlining Short Term Storage for Severe Environments to protect the power end components from rusting and seizing due to the lack of lubricant and/or preservative. Long Term Storage Proper storage of your FMC pump will insure that it is ready for service when started. FMC pumps come from the factory without crankcase oil and are prepared for storage periods of up to six (6) months in proper environmental conditions. Indoor storage in a dry, temperature-controlled location is always recommended. If the pump is to be stored, or is inactive, for periods in excess of six (6) months, it is necessary to prepare the pump as outlined by FMCs Long Term Storage procedure to protect the power end components from rusting and seizing due to the lack of lubricant and/or preservative.

Pump Selection Procedure

1. Determine your HP requirement using the following equation:
HP= GPM x PSI 1714 x Mechanical Efficiency
Notes: 1. Ratings are based on nominal speeds and pressures and may vary on FMC Technologies written approval. 2. Capacities and speeds indicated are based on 100% volumetric efficiency. 3. Continuous Duty is described as 8 hours or more operation per day, daily for extended periods of time. 4. Dimensions are approximate and based on standard pump models with cast fluid cylinders. Width is measured parallel to the axis of the drive shaft and does not include the shaft extension.

For preliminary sizing, use 90% for the mechanical efficiency, then adjust based on actual efficiency of pump selected. 2.

Determine the duty cycle of your application. Continuous Duty is described as 8 hours or more operation per day, daily for extended periods of time.
Find the Pump Series under the first column with a HP rating that meets or exceeds the conditions of your application. Continuous HP is listed first. Intermittent HP is listed second. Scan down the Rated Pressure column in the Pump Series selected until you find the last model whose maximum pressure rating exceeds the maximum pressure required by your application. Check the appropriate capacity column (Continuous Duty Capacity or Intermittent Duty Capacity) to determine if the pump you selected meets the flow requirements of your application. If not, go to the next larger pump series and repeat Steps 4 & 5. Determine the speed at which the pump will need to operate to produce the desired flow.
RPM= Desired Flow (GPM) Displacement
