will be performed in the state of the art and should be done before
grouting of the baseplate.
Foundation bolts should be fully tightened only after the
grout has cured.
Installation without foundation :
1 – Intermediate plate
2 – Nut
3 – Leveling element
4 – Foot base
5 – Washer
6 – Fastening nut
7 – Washer
8 – Baseplate fastening screw
7.1.3 POSITIONING
Pump baseplate (cast iron base plate or fabricated steel baseframe)
should be installed horizontally to ensure bearings lifetime and proper
flow of pumped fluid.
7.1.4 COUPLING ALIGNMENT
Pumpsets assembled with a flexible coupling (except pump variants
equipped with a IEC lantern) must be aligned after the baseframe has
been definitively fastened to the foundation. Use low thickness shims
(0,2 to 1 mm) to modify coupling alignment. Adjust the motor height
first. Sometimes it is necessary to add shims under pump feet too.
Aligment of coupling should be performed with particular care
when the pumpset is installed in an hazardous area. Correct
alignment will avoid abnormal increasing of the pump and motor ball
bearings temperature.
Thermal expansion : the pump and motor will normally have to be
aligned at ambient temperature with an allowance for thermal
expansion at operating temperature. In pump installation involving high
liquid temperatures, alignment should be checked again when operating
temperature is reached (pump and piping). Alignment quality should be
checked just after machine shut down.
Pump and driver must be isolated electrically before alignment
operations are performed.
Pump and motor were aligned before dispatch. If it is necessary to
use very thick shims to adjust coupling alignment on site this
means that the baseplate is twisted. Leveling has to be modified.
Checking the coupling alignment :
Check distance between the two half couplings.
Check radial and axial deviation.
Several types of flexible couplings can be used. Refer to coupling
operating instructions to know adjustment values and
misalignment limits.
Several methods can be used to make coupling alignment. Choice of a
method will depend on the type of equipments available on site. Two
operating methods are briefly described hereafter. They can be used if
basic metrology equipments are available :
Using a straight-edge and a caliper :
Using a dial gauge :
When checking parallel alignment, the total indicator read-out
shown is twice the value of the actual shaft displacement.
Align in the vertical plane first, then horizontally by moving the motor.
Lifetime of ball bearing and coupling flexible part as well as pumpset
noise level will depend on the alignment quality.
Coupling alignment is not necessary when a IEC adaptation lantern is
used. Both motor and pumps shaft are aligned by construction.
7.2 PIPE WORK
Pump connection flanges are plugged to avoid any contamination during
transport and storage. Protective covers should be removed only before
installing the pump in the piping. Remove dust before removing the
covers from pump flanges. Especially for new pipe work : clean
thoroughly piping before connecting it to the pump.

Remove protective covers

Add flange gaskets

Fasten suction pipe

Fasten discharge pipe
No stress must be applied to the pump casing by the pipe work. If
excessive, those forces and moments cause misalignment,
overheating of bearings, coupling wear, vibrations and possible failure or
explosion of pump casing.
After replacement of a pump or during connection of pipes to
pump flanges, never use pump flanges as a support to pull or push
the pipe works.
The axial displacement of expansion coupling (if installed) should be
limited. Use tie rods as recommended by the manufacturer.
Two designs are possible for the suction line : positive suction head and
suction lift operation.
Positive suction head operation :
Nominal diameter of the pipeline is often larger diameter than pump
suction flange. Unequal nominal diameter should be compensated by an
