Prior erection work, the following checks are to be carried out:

 Check the geometric layout, assembly/erection drawing and fabrication drawing
 Check the bench mark and or control point (Joint Survey with Civil Team)
 Transfer the base line of foundation center line/ elevation from the station bench
mark that was accepted and finalized by Owner.
 Check & record the elevation and centerline of foundation and countercheck all the
dimension between mechanical drawing and civil drawing.
On carrying the above checks will respect to the approved construction drawing. If any
mistaken, to be coordinate with all person in-charge that who have responsibility at site prior to
continue for the next working step.
Technical instruction: relevant personnel shall engage learning of manufacturer’s drawing
and instruction and relevant technical documents and shall be familiar equipment structure,
property and installing method, technical requirements, and quality standard and technology
process.
Checking, numbering and counting shall be made according to equipment packing list and

in accordance with drawing.
The following facilities are required at site as minimum:
 Storage Container for Erection Tools and Tackles
 Power Distribution Panel
 Office Container
 Crane Parking Area
 Equipment Unloading Area
3. Storage and protection.
All pumps are shop serviced and ready for operation when delivered, but there are
occasions when considerable time elapses between the delivery date and the time the pump is
put into operation. Equipment, which is not in service should be kept in a clean, dry area. If
equipment is to be stored for long periods of time (six months or more), the following
precautions should be taken to ensure that the equipment remains in good condition

Rev.: 0
 Be sure that bearings are fully lubricated.

 Unpainted machined surfaces, which are subject to corrosion should be protected by
some corrosion resistant coating.
 The shaft should be rotated ¼ to ½ revolution by hand periodically to ensure that
the pump shaft does not begin to sag. Suitable intervals are from one to three
months
 Space heaters on motors and controllers should be connected and fully operable if
atmospheric conditions approach those experience in operation. Consult instruction
manuals for other precaution concerning storage of individual components of the
pump unit
 Fresh lubricant must be applied to bearing (where applicable) upon removal of
equipment from storage. Do not use petroleum or oil based lubricants on rubber
bearing.
4. Receiving and unloading.
When the shipment is received extreme care should be exercised when unloading. Heavy
parts should be skidded to the ground if lifting equipment is not available. Do not drop the unit,
or any parts, as damage may cause trouble in assembly and operation of the unit
Inspect the pump for signs of transit damage before beginning to uncarted or store. If
damage is evident, the local transporting company agent should be notified before uncarting
and a claim filed with the agent
5. Uncrating and cleaning
If the unit appears undamaged proceed with uncarting. The pump is shipped as a unit from
the factory and it is advisable to lift it into the vertical position before uncarting. If this is not
possible the longer units must be supported any pump weight be placed on the suction bell
Clean all parts of all dirt, packing materials and other foreign matter. Flush the pump inside
and out with clean water. Clean all machined surfaces-these are coated with a rust preventative,
which must be removed. Removed any rust sports found on the machined surfaces with fine
emery cloth. Clean all threaded connections and any accessory equipment
Part and accessories may be placed inside shipping containers or attached to skids in
individual packages. Inspect all containers, crates and skids for attached parts before
discarding,

Rev.: 0
6. Pre-Installation checklist
The following checks should be made before starting actual installation to assure proper
installation and prevent delays:
Where more than one unit is received, check the pump serial number against the packing
slip to be sure the correct unit being installed.
Check the driver horsepower and speed indicated on the driver nameplate, and the
horsepower and speed indicated on the pump nameplate (located on the discharge head) to be
sure they agree within 2%.
With motor driven units, be sure the voltage on the motor nameplate agrees with the service
available. Also make sure the horsepower and voltage rating of the control box or starter agrees
with horsepower and voltage rating of the motor.
Check the depth of the sump against the pump length to be sure there will be no
interference.
Check the propose liquid level in the sump against the pump length – the bowl assembly
must be submerged at all times
Clean the sump and piping system before installing the pump
Check the installation equipment to be sure it will safely handle the equipment
Check all pump connections (bolts, nuts...) for tightness. These have been properly
tightened before leaving the factory, however, some connections may have worked loose in
transit
On hollow shaft drivers, check the clutch size against the shaft size, which must go through
the clutch. Sometimes the shaft size coming through the discharge head is different from the
shaft size going through the driver – be sure you check against the shaft, which will go through
the driver
On solid shaft drivers check the motor shaft size against the coupling bore size.
7. Foundation.
The foundation must be able to absorb any type of vibration and form a permanent, rigid
support for the unit.
Provide a flat, substantial concrete foundation in order to prevent strain and distortion when
you tighten the foundation bolts.
Sleeve-type and J-type foundation bolts are most commonly used. Both designs allow
movement for the final bolt adjustment.
Rev.: 0
Sleeve-Type Bolts
J-type bolts
8. Baseplate-mounting procedures.
Prepare the baseplate for mounting.

This procedure assumes you have a basic knowledge of baseplate and foundation design
and installation methods.
Make sure that all baseplate surfaces that will contact grout are free from contamination
such as rust, oil and grime
Thoroughly clean all baseplate surfaces that will come in contact with grout
Make sure to use a cleaner that will not leave residue
Rev.: 0
Make sure that all machined surfaces are free from burrs, rust, paint or any other type of
contamination
If necessary, use o honing stone to remove burrs.
9. Prepare the foundation for mounting.
Chip the top of the foundation to a minimum of 1.0 in (25.0 mm) in order to remove porous
of low-strength concrete.
If you use a pneumatic hammer, make sure that it does not contaminate the surface with oil
or other moisture.
Do not chip the foundation using heavy tools such as jackhammers. This can damage the
structural integrity of the foundation
Remove water or debris from the foundation bolt holes or sleeves.
If the baseplate uses sleeve-type bolts, then fill the sleeves with a non-binding, mouldable
material. Seal the sleeves in order to prevent the grout from entering.
Coat the exposed portion of the anchor bolts with a non-bonding compound such as paste
wax in order to prevent the grout from adhering to the anchor bolts.
Do not use oils or liquid wax
If recommended by the grout manufacturer, coat the foundation surface with a compatible
primer.
10. Install and level baseplate
Lower the baseplate carefully onto the foundation bolts

The baseplate will rest on top of the foundation on the jackscrews provided on the baseplate

Rev.: 0
Adjust the levelling jackscrews, located adjacent to the foundation bolt holes, until the
baseplate rests 1 to 2 in (25 to 50 mm) above the foundation in order to allow for adequate
grouting
This provides even support for the baseplate after grouting
Level the baseplate to within 0.002 in/ft (0.167 mm/m) of the length or width of the
baseplate by adjusting the jackscrews
The maximum total variation from one end or side of the baseplate to the other in 0.015 in
(0.38mm)
Use the equipment mounting surfaces in order to establish the level
Use a non-bonding (anti-seize) compound such as paste wax to coat the portions of the
jackscrews that will contact the grout.
Thread the nuts onto the foundation bolts and hand-tighten
11. Install the pump, driver and coupling.
Mount and fasten the pump on the baseplate. Use applicable bolts.
Two tapered dowel pins are provided in case there is a need to provide repeatable location
between the pump and base plate. Installation of the dowel pins is not mandatory
Mount the driver on the baseplate
Install the coupling. See the installation instructions from the coupling manufacturer
If the pump baseplate has a slot for high temperature dowelling the following must be
performed after final alignment
 Verify that the parallel dowel has been installed in the center of the pump foot
furthest from the drive end. It should locate fully in a slot parallel to the shaft that
has been machined in the base plate
 Torque the bolts closest to the driver to the standard values
 Torque the bolts on the outboard end to 15% of the standard value. This will allow
the pump to expand axially with increasing temperature while maintaining pump to
driver alignment
If repeatable location of the pump to base plate is desired perform wither:
 For pumps without high temperature doweling, drill through each pump foot (drive
end and non-drive end), into the base plate then taper ream to suit the supplied taper
dowel pins.

Rev.: 0
 For pumps fitted with high temperature doweling, drill through the drive end pump
foot into the base plate then taper ream to suit the supplied taper dowel pin. Discard
the unused taper dowel pin.
12. Pump to driver alignment
Alignment methods
Three common alignment methods are use
 Dial indicator
 Reverse dial indicator
 Laser
Follow the instructions from the equipment manufacturer when you use the reverse dial
indicator or laser methods. Detailed instructions for using the dial indicator method are
contained in this chapter

Attach the dial indicators for alignment

You must have two dial indicators in order to complete this procedure
Step 1: attach two dial indicators on the pump coupling haft (X):
 Attach one dial indicator (P) so that the indicator rod comes into contact with the
perimeter of the driver coupling haft (Y)
 This indicator is used to measure parallel misalignment
 Attach the other indicator (A) so that the indicator rod comes into contact with the
inner end of the driver coupling haft
 This indicator is used to measure angular misalignment.

Rev.: 0
Rotate the pump coupling haft (X) in order to check that the indicators are in contact with
the driver coupling haft (Y) but do not bottom out
Adjust the indicators if necessary
Perform angular alignment for a vertical correction.
Illustrations are for reference only and may not depict the particular pump model
 Set the angular alignment indicator to zero at the top-center position (12 o’clock) of
the driver coupling haft (Y)
 Rotate the indicator to the bottom-center position (6 o’clock)
 Record the indicator reading
When the reading value is negative then the coupling halves are farther apart at the bottom
then at the top. Perform one of these steps:
 Add shims in order to raise the feet of the drivers at the shaft end.
 Remove shims in order to lower the feet of the driver at the other end
When the reading value is positive then the coupling halves are closer at the bottom than at
the top. Perform one of these steps:
 Remove shims in order to lower the feet of the driver at the shaft end
 Add shims in order to raise the feet of the drivers at the other end

Rev.: 0
Repeat the previous steps until the permitted reading values is achieved.
Perform angular alignment for a horizontal correction.
Set the angular alignment indicator (A) to zero on left side of the driver coupling haft (Y),
90 from the top-center position (9 o’clock)
Rotate the indicator through the top-center position to the right side, 180 from the start
position (3 o’clock)
Record the indicator reading
When the reading values if negative then the coupling halves are father apart on the right
side than the left. Perform one of these steps:
 Slide the shaft end of the driver to the left
 Slide the opposite end to the right
When the reading values if positive then the coupling halves are closer together on the right
side than the left. Perform one of these steps:
 Slide the shaft end of the driver to the right
 Slide the opposite end to the left
Example of incorrect horizontal alignment (top view)

Rev.: 0
Repeat the previous steps until the permitted reading value is achieved.
Perform parallel alignment for a vertical correction
Before you start this procedure, make sure that the dial indicators are correctly set up.
A unit is in parallel alignment when the parallel indicator (P) does not vary more than 0.002
in (0.05mm) as measured at four points 90 apart at the operating temperature.
 Set the parallel alignment indicator (P) to zero at the top-center position (12
o’clock) of the driver coupling haft (Y)
 Rotate the indicator to the bottom-center position (6 o’clock)
When the reading values is negative then the pump coupling half (X) is lower than the
driver coupling half (Y). remove shims of a thickness equal to half of the indicator reading
value under each driver foot.
When the reading value is positive then the pump coupling half (X) is higher than the driver
coupling half (Y). Add shims of a thickness equal to half of the indicator reading value to each
driver foot.
Perform parallel alignment for a horizontal correction
A unit is in parallel alignment when the parallel indicator (P) does not vary more than 0.002
in (0.05 mm) as measured at four points 90 apart at the operating temperature.
 Set the parallel alignment indicator (P) to zero on the left side of the driver coupling
half (Y) 90 from the top-center position (9 o’clock)
 Rotate the indicator through the top-center position to the right side, 180 from the
start position (3 o’clock)
 Record the indicator reading.

Rev.: 0
When the reading values is negative then the driver coupling half (Y) is to the left of the
pump coupling half (X)
When the reading values if positive then the driver coupling half (Y) is to the right of the
pump coupling half (X)
Slide the driver carefully in the appropriate direction
Make sure to slide the driver evenly. Failure to do so can negatively affect horizontal
angular correction.
Example of incorrect horizontal alignment (top view)

Perform complete alignment for a vertical correction.
A unit is in complete alignment when both the angular indicator (A) and the parallel
indicator (P) do not vary by more than 0.002 in (0.05mm) as measure at four points 90 apart
 Set the angular and parallel dial indicators to zero at the top-center position (12
o’clock) of the driver coupling half (Y)
 Rotate the indicators to the bottom-center position (6 o’clock)
 Record the indicator readings
 Make corrections according to the separate instructions for angular and parallel
alignment until you obtain the permitted reading values
Perform complete alignment for a horizontal correction.
 Set the angular and parallel dial indicators to zero at the left side of the driver
coupling half (Y), 90 from the top-center position (9 o’clock)
 Rotate the indicators through the top-center position to the right side, 180 from the
start position (3 o’clock)

Rev.: 0

 Make corrections according to the separate instructions for angular and parallel
alignment until you obtain the permitted reading values
13. Grout the base plate
Required equipment
 Cleaners: do not use an oil-based cleaner because the grout will no bond to it. See
the instructions provided by the grout manufacturer
 Grout: Non-shrink grout is recommended
It is assumed that the installer who grouts the base plate has knowledge of acceptable
methods. More detailed procedures are described in various publications, including API
standard 610, latest edition, Appendix L; API RP 686, Chapter 5; and other industry standards.
 Clean all the areas of the baseplate that will come into contact with the grout
 Build a dam around the foundation
 Thoroughly wet the foundation that will come into contact with the grout
 Pour grout through the grout hole into the baseplate up to the level of the dam. Then
you pour the grout, remove air bubbles from it by using one of these methods:
puddle with a vibrator or pump the grout into place.
 Allow the grout to set.
