8.4.2 Procedure
1) All surfaces must be clean, free from standing water and all loosely adhering particles.
Cement latency must be removed, by mechanical means.
2) Mix with a slow speed electric drill for 1-2 minutes. Then add the aggregate and continue
mixing until a homogeneous mortar is achieved.
3) Application
- When grouting under bearing hates, ensure there is sufficient pressure to maintain
movement of the grout. Air must be allowed to escape.
- For large volumes, apply in more than one layer, ensuring that the previous layers have
hardened and cooled.
4) Clean all tolls and equipment immediately after use with thinner.

9. ALIGNMENT OF EQUIPMENT
9.1 Initial Alignment
9.1.1 After completion of the grouting and prior to connecting piping, alignment of equipment shall
be performed as follows :
9.1.2 The parallelism of the end surface of the equipment coupling hub and the driver coupling hub,
the clearance between the coupling hubs, and the parallelism of the center lines of the shafts hall
be measured with a dial gauge at the four points at 90 degree intervals, and shall be adjusted by
inserting shims under the lug or the saddle of the driver and/or speed exchanger.
9.1.3 Tolerance of alignment shall be indicated in Table 3. The material of the shims for alignment
shall be of brass or of stainless steel. The size of the shims shall be at least 150mm in width, and
0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1 and 2mm in thickness, and if legs or saddles of the equipment are
smaller than 150mm in which, the size of the shims shall be the same as the width of the equipment.

Item Tolerance
Parallelism of center lines of shafts 0.05mm
Parallelism of surfaces of coupling hubs 0.1mm(diameter of coupling)

9.2 Alignment after Connecting Piping

After the suction and discharge nozzles are connected to piping, and the CONTRACTOR engineer
informed that all piping work such as installation of permanent supports, and hydraulic testing, if any,
are completed for the connected piping, alignment of the equipment shall be rechecked as follows :
9.2.1 Prior to commencing the final cold alignment, the suction and discharge piping shall be
disconnected and piping alignment such as off center, clearance, and parallelism between the
piping and connection flanges of the equipment nozzles shall be checked by visual inspection.

9.2.2 When any misalignment is found in the piping during the above inspection, the information
shall be given to the CONTRACTOR engineer.
9.2.3 After the piping alignment check is completed and/or misalignment of piping is corrected, the
suction and discharge piping shall be connected to the equipment nozzles and the final cold
alignment of the equipment shall be checked with a dial gauge.
9.2.4 Any offset on the alignment of the equipment found as a result of the piping connections shall
be corrected as follows :
1) Offset values of 0.2mm or less shall be adjusted by inserting or removing shims under
the lug or saddle or the driver and/or speed exchangers without correcting and piping
alignment.
2) Offset values exceeding 0.2mm shall be reduced by correcting the suction and/or
discharge piping by burning or re-adjusting the pipe support, and, if necessary, the suction
and/or discharge piping shall be disconnected and be welded again to correct alignment of
the equipment and this welding joint shall be done NDE and hydraulic testing.
9.3 Final Check
After completing alignment, the follow shall be ascertained :
9.3.1 By revolving the coupling by the hand or a turning device in the direction of the arrow mark,
the equipment should rotate easily,
9.3.2 The direction or rotating of the driver shall be the same as indicated by the arrow mark.
9.3.3 After the above and an instrumental check and a no-load test of the drive, the equipment shall
be coupled and be capable of being rotated again easily by the hand or a turning device. If the
equipment has any protection device such as a turbine trip system, it shall be tested before coupling.
9.3.4 The setting of the coupling guard shall be checked.
