Maintenance

c) Chill the new casing wear ring (164) using dry ice or other suitable chilling substance,

and install the ring into the fit of the casing (100).
Be prepared to tap the ring in place with a hardwood block or soft-faced hammer.

WARNING:
Dry ice and other chilling substances can cause physical injury. Contact the supplier for information and
advice for proper handling precautions and procedures.

d) Chill the head wear ring (164) using dry ice or other suitable chilling substance, and

install the ring into the fit of the head (184).
Be prepared to tap the ring in place with a hardwood block or soft-faced hammer.

e) Locate, drill, and tap three new setscrew holes equally spaced between the original

holes in each new ring and ring seat area.

f)

Install the setscrews (320) and upset threads.

3. Check the casing and head wear-ring (164) runout and distortion by measuring the bore at

each setscrew location with inside micrometers or vernier calipers.
Machine any distortion in excess of 0.003 in. (0.08 mm) before you trim the new impeller
wear rings (142).

4. Confirm the bore of the casing and head wear rings (164).
5. Turn the impeller wear ring (142) to size after you mount it on the impeller (101).

NOTICE:
The impeller and wear-ring clearance setting procedures must be followed. Improperly
setting the clearance or not following any of the proper procedures can result in sparks,
unexpected heat generation, and equipment damage.

All replacement impeller wear rings, except those that are hard-faced, are supplied 0.020
in. to 0.030 in. (0.508 mm to 0.762 mm) oversize. See the table Minimum running
clearances for final running clearances. Machine the impeller rings accordingly.
Spare hard-faced impeller wear rings are not supplied oversize but are supplied to pre-
established proper running clearances when both impeller and casing wear rings are
renewed.
When the impeller assembly is supplied as a spare part (impeller with wear rings), the wear
rings are machined to the required dimension.
