since last recharge of grease or complete grease
change.
e) Check any auxiliary supplies e.g. heating/cooling
(if fitted) are functioning correctly.

Refer to the manuals of any associated
equipment for routine checks needed.
6.2.2 Periodic inspection (six monthly)
a) Check foundation bolts for security
of attachment and corrosion.
b) Check pump running records for hourly usage to
determine if bearing lubricant requires changing.
c) The coupling should be checked for correct
alignment and worn driving elements.

Refer to the manuals of any associated
equipment for periodic checks needed.
6.2.3 Re-lubrication
Lubricant and bearing temperature analysis can be
useful in optimizing lubricant change intervals. In
general however, the following is recommended.
6.2.3.1 Oil lubrication
Maintaining the correct oil level is very
important.
If the pump is supplied with a constant level oiler the
oil level will be automatically maintained and as long
as oil is visible in the glass bottle there is no need to
refill. If however a sight glass has been fitted then
regular checks should be made to ensure the level is
maintained at the centre of the glass window.
Refer to section 5.2.2 Lubrication schedule for the
schedule and temperature limits and 5.2.3 Oil levels
for methods of oil fill.
6.2.4 Mechanical seals
No adjustment is required. When leakage reaches an
unacceptable level the seal will need replacement.
6.3 Spare parts
6.3.1 Ordering of spares
Flowserve keep records of all pumps that have been
supplied. When ordering spares the following
information should be quoted:
 Pump serial number
 Pump size
 Part name
 Part number – from Parts list provided separately
 Number of parts required
The pump size and serial number are shown on the
pump nameplate.
To
ensure continued satisfactory operation,
replacement parts to the original design specification
should be obtained from Flowserve.
Any change to the original design specification
(modification or use of a non-standard part) will
invalidate the pump’s safety certification.
6.3.2 Storage of spares
Spares should be stored in a clean dry area away from
vibration. Inspection and re-treatment of metallic
surfaces (if necessary) with preservative is
recommended at 6 monthly intervals.
For large quantities of Multiphase Twin Screw Pump
parts, it is advisable to contact your local Flowserve
Sales representative giving full detail of quantities,
sizes and metallurgy.
The severity of the conditions of service, the extent to
which repairs can be carried out in the field and the
number of units installed will determine to a great
extent the minimum number of spare parts which
should be carried in stock at the site of the installation.
6.3.3 Returning parts
All materials for return to the factory must have a
Return Material Authorization. Consult the nearest
District Office or Factory Customer Service Dept. (CS)
for shipping instructions and a 'Return
Material Tag’.
Unnecessary delays are avoided when parts or
equipment are returned to the factory using the correct
procedure.
a) On receipt of the Return Material Number, mark or
tag the material to be returned with this number.
In cases where more than one part or box is
returned, print or stencil your company name and
the Return Material Number on each part or box.
This will facilitate quick identification. Articles being
returned should be carefully packed to prevent
damage from handling or from exposure to
weather.
b) Contact your nearest District Office, listing material
to be returned and the reasons for returning it.
Make sure you give the name of the part and the
part number involved and the serial number of the
equipment. Give the method and date of
shipment. This will notify the factory that material
is enroute.
