Self-Priming Fiberglass Pumps

Fybroc Division SERIES 16 Self-Priming Fiberglass Pumps B U L L E T I N 16B1

FYBROC THE LEADER IN CORROSION-RESISTANT FIBERGLASS PUMPING EQUIPMENT Fybroc is the leading manufacturer of fiberglass reinforced centrifugal pumps designed specifically to handle difficult corrosive liquids. The Fybroc Series 16 combines an extensive knowledge of materials and production techniques to provide exceptional structural integrity and excellent corrosion-resistance in a high quality self-priming pump. FYBROC SERIES 16 SELF-PRIMING PUMPS The Series 16 pump line has been designed for maximum versatility and is ideally suited for corrosive waste sump applications, tank car unloading and other demanding services. The casing has been designed with generous proportions in the recirculation chamber to provide short priming times without the use of troublesome flappers and check valves. The inlet has been sized to minimize NPSH requirements to provide greater allowable suction lifts. The pumps are typically supplied with flat faced flanges dimensioned according to ANSI/ASME B16.5 class 15, and they are also available with ISO/DIN and JIS flanges. The pump s flexible stuffing box design accepts a wide variety of shaft sealing configurations to suit the needs of specific applications, including both outside and double inside mechanical seals. For additional corrosion-resistance, the entire pump and drive unit is mounted on a Fybroc fiberglass baseplate. When weight and space needs are critical, the pump is also available in a close-coupled configuration as a Series 16. INTERCHANGEABILITY WITH FYBROC SERIES 15 PUMPS The Fybroc Series 16 self-priming pump is, with the exception of its two piece casing, totally interchangeable with the Series 15 ANSI pump. The bearing housing assembly, bearings, shaft, impeller, back cover, gland and mechanical seal are the same as Fybroc s reliable Series 15 pump, ensuring maximum parts availability and interchangeability.

METHOD OF PRIMING The Fybroc Series 16 is designed to provide superior priming characteristics. In many cases, the Series 16 primes in as little as half the time of the other self-primers. To achieve priming, liquid from an external source is initially introduced into the empty pump through the fill plug, filling the casing to the suction flange. When the pump is started, the impeller discharges a mixture of liquid and entrained air into the discharge chamber, where the air is separated and vented through the discharge while the heavier liquid is returned to the impeller through the inlet port at the bottom of the volute. The priming liquid entrains more air in the suction chamber and the cycle continues until the suction line is evacuated, at which time the pump is primed. VOLUTE EXTENSION An important feature of the Series 16 is its replaceable volute extension. The casing volute cutwater in any selfpriming pump must be in close proximity to the impeller in order to permit efficient priming. The removable volute extension in the Series 16 unit is available in a number of sizes to match specific impeller diameters permitting field hydraulic changes without casing modifications. The volute extension is bolted into the casing through the use of fiberglass hardware and sealed with a Viton O-ring. MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION The Series 16 is furnished with all wetted components made of fiberglass-reinforced vinyl ester resin, which offers broad corrosion resistance to most acids, caustics, bleaches, seawater and many other liquids. The pumps are built with type stainless steel shafts and hardware, Viton O-rings, and polyester thermosetting powder coated cast iron bearing frame components. Corrosion-resistant, fiberglass reinforced vinyl ester resin baseplates are also available for all Series 16 pumps. Each baseplate incorporates a sloping catch basin, eliminating expensive alloy drip pans or rim baseplates. All baseplates are predrilled to accept standard NEMA/IEC frame motors.

DESIGN FEATURES OF THE SERIES 16 PUMP The Fybroc Series 16 fiberglass pump is designed to handle the demands of corrosive waste sump transfer, tank car unloading and other difficult self-priming applications. The fiberglass components are manufactured utilizing the Resin Transfer Molding technique which enables complete control of the fiberglass reinforcement in high stress areas. Metallic pump components are NOT in contact with process fluids. 1 8 11 9 1 1 7

FYBROC SERIES 6 SELF-PRIMING Capacities to GPM (7 m /hr) Heads to feet (65 m) Suction Lifts to feet (6 m) Two pump sizes The Fybroc Series 6 is an FRP, close-coupled, selfpriming, magnetic-drive sealless pump that incorporates many of the features found on the Fybroc Series pumps. With the exception of the casing volute/tank assembly, all components of the Series 6 are fully interchangeable with those of the Series. The Series 6 is ideally suited for corrosive sump applications, tank car unloading, and other similar, demanding applications. The volute casing has been designed with optimal proportions in the recirculation chamber to provide for short and efficient priming times, without the use of troublesome check valves. The volute casing inlet has also been designed to minimize NPSH requirements, thereby leading to greater allowable suction lifts. An important feature of the Series 6 is its replaceable volute extension. The casing volute cutwater in any self-priming pump must be in close proximity to the impeller in order to permit efficient priming. The removable volute extension in the Series 6 is available in a number of sizes to match specific impeller diameters permitting field hydraulic changes and the restoration of priming efficiency, all without casing modifications or replacement.
