1.5 ATEX Considerations and Intended Use
Special care must be taken in potentially explosive environments to ensure that the equipment is
properly maintained. This includes but is not limited to:
1. Monitoring the pump frame and liquid end temperature.
2. Maintaining proper bearing lubrication.
3. Ensuring that the pump is operated in the intended hydraulic range.
The ATEX conformance is only applicable when the pump unit is operated within its intended use.
Operating, installing or maintaining the pump unit in any way that is not covered in the Instruction,
Operation, and Maintenance manual (IOM) can cause serious personal injury or damage to the
equipment. This includes any modification to the equipment or use of parts not provided by ITT
Goulds Pumps. If there is any question regarding the intended use of the equipment, please contact
an ITT Goulds representative before proceeding.
Current IOMs are available at www.gouldspumps.com/en-US/Tools-and-Resources/Literature/IOMs/
or from your local ITT Goulds Pumps Sales representative.
All pumping unit (pump, seal, coupling, motor and pump accessories) certified for use in an ATEX
classified environment, are identified by an ATEX tag secured to the pump or the baseplate on which
it is mounted. A typical tag would look like this:
