4 Operation
Following these recommendations will ensure maximum MTBPM of the
P-200 seal.
4.1 Do not exceed corrosion limits. The P-200 is designed to resist
corrosion by most chemicals. However, do not expose the P-200
materials of construction to products outside of their corrosion lim-
its. The P-200 assembly drawing lists the materials of construction.
For chemical resistance ratings, consult Flowserve.
4.2 Do not exceed the pressure-velocity (P-V) limits.
4.3 Do not exceed the temperature limits of the P-200. The materi-
als of construction are listed on the assembly drawing. For the
temperature limits of materials, consult Flowserve. Turn on any
cooling water to the supply tank before start-up.
4.4 Do not start up or run the P-200 dry. Buffer/barrier fluid must be
in the seal cavity at all times during pump operation.
For special problems encountered during installation, contact your
nearest Flowserve Sales and Service Representative or Authorized
Distributor.
