5.4 Piping
5.4.1 Connecting the piping
DANGER
Impermissible loads acting on the pump nozzles
Danger to life from escaping hot, toxic, corrosive or flammable fluids!
▷
Do not use the pump as an anchorage point for the piping.
▷
Anchor the pipes in close proximity to the pump and connect them properly
without transmitting any stresses or strains.
▷
Observe the permissible forces and moments at the pump nozzles.
▷
Take appropriate measures to compensate for thermal expansion of the piping.
CAUTION
Incorrect earthing during welding work at the piping
Destruction of rolling element bearings (pitting effect)!
▷
Never earth the electric welding equipment on the pump or baseplate.
▷
Prevent current flowing through the rolling element bearings.
