Above apply for applications below

250 ºC only and not in the range 250 ºC to 600

ºC.

Non-metallic gaskets incur creep

relaxation - before commissioning the pump check
and retighten fasteners to tightening torques stated.

Below lower values apply for

applications

in the high temperature range of 250 ºC to

600

ºC.

For the tightening sequence also refer to good

industry practice. See section 10.3, Reference 6, for
more detail.

6.7 Setting impeller clearance

This procedure may be required after the pump has
been dismantled or a different clearance is required.

For the CPXV the front impeller clearance setting is as
shown in the table.

For molten salt services above 250 ºC and no

greater than 600

ºC use the value in the above table for

150 ºC noting that the impeller adjustment procedure for
molten salt services cannot be started until pump is at
operating temperature and is only to be done at its
operating tempering temperature. If at any time during
the life of the pump the pumping conditions or operating
temperature changes contact the factory for
reconfirmation calculation of the impeller setting.

For the CPXRV the back impeller clearance is the
setting. Set the back clearance to 2 mm (0.8 in.), as
shown in the following illustration:

a) Before carrying out this procedure on CPXV or

CPXRV ensure that any mechanical seal(s) fitted
can tolerate a change in their axial setting,
otherwise it will be necessary to dismantle the
unit and reset the seal axial position after
adjusting the impeller clearance.
