Goulds Pumps 3910 11th ed. - IOM - Manual (Page 14)

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 provides information about the
pump’s size, rating, bearings, serial number, hydrostatic
test pressure of pressure containment parts, maximum
allowable working pressure at designated temperature and
construction / customer’s item number. 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, 2x3-13
(Fig. 1A).
The standard nameplate is also available in a version which
expresses the rating and hydrostatic test pressure in metric
units (Fig. 1B).
When ordering spare parts you will need to identify pump
model, size, serial number, and the item number of required
parts. Pump information can be taken from the Goulds
nameplate. Item numbers can be found in this manual.
If applicable, your pump unit may have the ATEX tag
affixed to the pump and/or baseplate (Fig. 2). See the
Safety section for a description of the symbols and codes.
