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.
This Practice is subject to revision at any time by the responsible Function Team
and will be reviewed every 5 years. This Practice will be revised, reaffirmed, or
withdrawn. Information on whether this Practice has been revised may be found
at http://www.pip.org.

5.2.2 Performance
Add:
Unless otherwise specified, performance tests shall be conducted if any of
the following conditions are met:
• Pumps operating in parallel.
• Suction specific speed is above 215 (11,000).
• Normal operating point is less than 10% above minimum continuous
flow.
• When specified by the purchaser.
Performance tests shall be conducted with the job seals. If pumps are

Performance test shall conform to Acceptance Level A requirements in the
centrifugal pump test section of the Hydraulic Institute Standard. The test
shall include a minimum of 5 points including minimum continuous flow
and 110% of BEP. The vendor shall provide a certified performance test
curve and vibration data for purchaser’s review and acceptance prior to

5.2.6 Purchaser Witnessing
Unless otherwise specified, tests will not be witnessed by the purchaser.
Add:
5.2.7 Retesting
If it is necessary to dismantle any pump after the performance test, a retest
shall be conducted, unless the sole purpose of dismantling is to trim the
impeller to meet the specified differential head tolerance and the reduction in

PIP RESP73H-97
diameter is 5% or less of the original diameter. If dismantling is necessary

for some other required correction, such as improvement of efficiency,
NPSH or mechanical difficulties, the initial test is not acceptable. The pump
shall be retested.

standard paint system is acceptable.
5.4.5 Components shipped loose to prevent damage during transit shall be
properly tagged for reassembly in the field and boxed. These items shall be
attached to, and shipped with, the pump.
5.4.6 The pump shall be shipped with the mechanical seal and the auxiliary
support systems installed and ready for initial service.
5.4.7 Bearing housing internals shall be coated with a suitable vapor space
inhibitor preservative prior to shipment.

7.1.1 Required motor design features are specified on the PIP ELSMT01 motor
specification and data sheets. The selection of the motor manufacturer shall
be from the purchaser’s acceptable manufacturers list.
7.1.2 Pump vendor shall determine the rated shaft power required by the pump
assembly based on the operating conditions provided by the purchaser.
Determination of the rated shaft power shall take into consideration the
following variables as a minimum:
• Specific gravity

• Mechanical seal(s)
• Stuffing box pressure/suction pressure
• Gear assembly
• Couplings
• Hydraulic tolerances
Other variables shall be taken into consideration as required.
Motor driver shall be sized in accordance with Table A, as a minimum,
unless the above considerations require a larger driver. If this latter condition
exists, the vendor shall state the proposed motor size in the proposal.
7.1.3 Driver power shall, as a minimum, be equal to the rated shaft power at the
rated point multiplied by the percentage listed in Table A.
Table A
kW bhp % of Rated Shaft Power
< 22 < 30 125

> 75 > 100 110
The vendor shall state the motor sizing criteria in the proposal.
7.1.4 If the end of curve power requires a motor less than 4 kW (5 hp), the motor
shall be the next standard size larger than the standard size required to cover
the end of curve.
7.1.5 Unless otherwise specified, motor service factor shall not be used to meet
the motor power requirements.
7.1.6 Motors shall also have sufficient power to cover initial run-in on water with
the pump throttled to 50% of the rated capacity. If this requirement results in
an increase in motor size, the larger motor shall be quoted as an alternative.

Appendix B
MECHANICAL SEAL CLASSIFICATION CODE
Mechanical seal materials and construction features shall be coded according to the following
classification system:
First letter: Balanced (B) or unbalanced (U)
Second letter: Single (S), unpressured dual (T), or pressurized dual (D)
Third letter: Seal gland type (P = plain, no throttle bushing; T = throttle bushing with
quench, leakage and/or drain connections; A = auxiliary sealing device, type
to be specified)
Fourth letter: Gasket materials (see Table B-4)
Fifth letter: Face materials (see Table B-5)
For example, a seal coded BSTFM would be a balanced single seal with a throttle bushing seal gland
and would have a fluoroelastomer (FKM) stationary gasket, a FKM seal-ring-to-sleeve gasket, and
carbon against tungsten carbide 2 faces. Seal materials other than those listed above should be coded
X and defined on the data sheets.
Mechanical Seal Notes
1. Unless otherwise specified, the spring material for multiple spring seals shall be Hastelloy C. The
spring material for single spring seal shall be austenitic stainless steel (AISI Standard Type 316 or
equal). Other metal parts shall be austenitic stainless steel (AISI Standard Type 316 or equal) or
another corrosion resistant material suitable for the service, except that metal bellows, where used,
shall be of the material recommended by the seal manufacturer of the service. Metal bellows shall
have a corrosion rate of less than 50µm (2 mils) per year.
2. Unless otherwise specified, the gland plate to seal chamber seal shall be a fluoroelastomer O-ring
for services below 150° C (300° F). For temperatures 150° C (300° F) and above or when specified,
graphite-filled austenitic stainless steel spiral wound gaskets shall be used. The gasket shall be
capable of withstanding the full (uncooled) temperature of the pumped fluid.
3. A metal seal ring shall not have sprayed overlay in place of a solid face.
4. When the pumping temperature exceeds 175° C (350° F), the vendor and seal manufacturer should
be jointly consulted about using a cooled flush to the seal faces or running the seal chamber dead-
ended with jacket cooling.
5. The temperature limits on mechanical seal gaskets shall be as specified in Table B-6.
