pump – a 17 900 kW (24 000 hp) behemoth.
Reflecting its leadership position, Flowserve was heavily
involved in establishing the API 610 (BB5) standard governing
the construction of double-case pumps. From water injection
and pipeline to charge and decoking, Flowserve is the pre-
ferred provider of double-case pump technology worldwide. 3

HDO
The Flowserve model HSO/HDO is a unique member
of the double-case barrel pump family in that it is
offered in both General Purpose and Special Purpose
configurations.
The General Purpose HSO/HDO is ideal for users who prefer
an installed spare and a volute design. With a hydraulic
envelope that fits many general service applications, the
versatile HSO/HDO offers a volute solution for customers
who do not need the premium design features and expense
of a Special Purpose pump.
For applications that require the highest reliability and the
features of a volute design, the Special Purpose HSO/HDO is
the optimum choice. The Special Purpose HSO/HDO retains
all of the advantages of a volute double-case while offering
enhanced features for service in critical processes.
Operating Parameters
• Flows to 4000m3/h (17 600 US gpm)
• Heads to 5365 m (16 000 ft)
• Pressures to 450 bar (6600 psi)
• Temperatures to 400°C (750°F)
• Speeds to 9000 rpm
Features and Benefits
Wrought Shafts are incrementally stepped at each impeller
fit for ease of assembly. The standard shaft extension is a
4 NEMA taper
Precision-Cast Opposed Impellers improve hydraulic
efficiency and performance repeatability. Impellers are
secured to the shaft with a shrink fit. Axial movement
is prevented by split rings. Standard single-suction
(HSO) or optional double-suction (HDO) first-stage
impellers provide the flexibility to meet a variety of
NPSH requirements
Optional Grooved Impeller Running Fits increase the
pump’s tolerance to foreign materials and desensitizes
it during start-up, stopping and system transients
Extra Long Center Stage Piece breaks down 50%
of the discharge pressure to the intermediate stage
before the long crossover. It is overlaid with a
hard wear surface to eliminate damage from the
mating impeller wear surfaces
Dynamically Balanced Rotor provides excellent
rotor dynamic stability. The fully assembled rotor
is balanced as a complete unit and installed in the
volute casing
Split Construction Stage Pieces ease installation
in the volute casing
Double Volute Casing Design consists of hydrauli-
cally identical halves which feature dual volutes with
outlets 180° apart. This design essentially balances
radial loads at all operational points, reducing harmful
vibration and ensuring dependable performance

Sag Boring Prolongs Wear Ring Life
Sag boring is applied to all volutes nine stages and higher.
The bottom volute casing is bored in incremental steps
towards the center. This design accommodates the static
deflection of the rotating assembly caused by the weight
of the shaft and impellers when the pump is not operating.
During start-up the shaft will straighten and casing rings
will slide upwards to maintain clearances. This process
eliminates rubbing of wear rings commonly found with
slender shaft and high numbers of stages.
Robust Bearing System
Sleeve journal radial bearings and tilting pad thrust bear-
ings are standard, utilizing either air, fan or water cooling
as needed. Duplex ball thrust bearings are available where
appropriate and permitted by ISO 13709/API 610 (BB5).

Forged Barrel Casing, Suction
and Discharge Heads
The barrel casing and discharge head houses the pump
cartridge and is a split pressure level design. A full dis-
charge pressure rated barrel design is also available.
Forged pressure containment parts are provided in the
following materials:
• Carbon steel overlaid with stainless steel at all critical
metal-to-metal seating fits and high-velocity areas
• Stainless steels
• Duplex and super duplex stainless steels
• Carbon steel overlaid with Inconel ® on all wetted areas
Alternative materials are available to suit individual
service requirements.
The bolted discharge head features only one high-
pressure, fully confined, circular compression gasketed
sealing joint to the atmosphere for superior reliability.
An optional bolted suction head also is available.
Numerous Nozzle Configurations
Nozzles on HSO/HDO pumps have standard raised face
flanges. Nozzle orientation can be adjusted to suit site
requirements. Weld-end, ring-type joint, and tongue and
groove flanges are optional configurations.
Volute Locating Ring Improves Alignment
HSO/HDO pumps employ a volute locating ring (see adja-
cent illustration) to align and position the discharge cover
and volute. This hard metal ring replaces metal spacer
gaskets, which may become dislodged during assembly. 5
Options and
Technical Data

Available API Special Purpose Design Tested To Ensure Performance

As the industry moves to higher pressure applications, the
volute design with its opposed impellers offers the benefit
of balancing hydraulic thrust over the pump’s entire operating
range. For this reason, API Special Purpose design HSO/HDO
pumps are well suited to higher pressure applications.
Each HSO/HDO pump is performance tested in
accordance with API and Hydraulic Institute testing
standards to ensure the unit meets the specified
design conditions. Pumps can be tested at full flow,
pressure and speed, up to 18 650 kW (25 000 hp).

In addition to offering hydraulic balance, the HSO/HDO

API Special Purpose design pump has an extreme focus
on durability and reliability. It achieves this through a no-
compromise rotor design featuring an extra large diameter
shaft. It also employs advanced materials, auxiliary seal and
lubrication systems, all precisely engineered for unspared
service where the loss of the pump will jeopardize the user’s
process. Barrel designs can be modified to meet special
customer requirements.
Hydraulic Options
With the industry’s most extensive and sophisti-
cated library of hydraulic designs for barrel pumps,
Flowserve can offer customized and optimized pump
performance for the most difficult applications.
Flowserve engineers employ leading edge techniques
that can extend the operating range of the pump or
mitigate the risks of damage caused by cavitation.

Advanced Close Clearance Technologies

For severe services the HSO/HDO is available with state-
of-the-art erosion- and abrasion-resistant materials in
the running fits. These materials are applied by various
processes to ensure the ultimate in reliability for even
the harshest environments:
• Through hardening: Metallurgically alters the micro-
structure of the metal component, resulting in a solid
hard wearing part.
• Super hard overlay: A second material possessing the
desired wear characteristics, like tungsten carbide or
Stellite® 6, is overlaid onto the base metal via the HVOF
or Direct Laser Deposit processes.
• Non-metallic and ceramic materials.
Flowserve will advise which materials and processes are Optional grooved wear surface shown
