Goulds Pumps 3408 - IOM - Manual (Page 10)

NAMEPLATE INFORMATION
Every pump has a Goulds nameplate that provides
information about the pump. The nameplate is located
on the pump casing.
Special tags which provide additional information
(mechanical seal data, etc.) and special tagging
required by customers are located on the pump
casing or on the bearing frame.
The standard nameplate (Fig. 1) provides information
about the pump size, type, serial number, rated head,
capacity, speed, impeller diameter, model number,
and maximum field hydrostatic test pressure.
The identification No. is a number which the end user
of pump requests to be put on the nameplate to
identify the pump in his operation.
The year indicates the year in which the pump was
built.
Rating and hydrostatic test pressure are expressed in
English units. Note the format of pump size:
Discharge x Suction - Nominal Impeller Diameter in
inches, for example, 2 x 3-11.
The frame plate (Fig. 2) provides information
concerning the bearings and their lubrication. The
inboard and outboard bearing numbers refer to the
bearing manufacturer’s numbers.
When ordering spare parts you will need to identify
pump model, size, serial number, and the catalog
number of required parts. Pump information can be
taken from the Goulds nameplate. Catalog numbers
can be found in this manual (Pg. 66).
