Goulds Pumps 3409 - IOM - Manual (Page 14)

NAMEPLATE INFORMATION
Every pump has a Goulds Pumps 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
the 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, 6x10-22.
The frame plate 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 Pumps nameplate. Catalog numbers can be found in
this manual.
