Pumps fitted with Suction / Discharge Pipe Flanges & Base Pads
Pumps can be supplied complete with pipe flanges to a set standout from the end faces of the inlet / outlet manifolds. This distance is
specified above, with additional data, i.e. flange bolt hole positions and any changes in overall pump dimensions.
Flanges are normally supplied as ANSI 150 matched to the normal inlet / outlet size of the pump.
Base pads would normally be supplied loose in order to mount pump level.
i.e. a 2” BSP model would be fitted with 2” ANSI 150 flanges. Other flanges can be ordered i.e ANSI 300, PN16
Refer to Supplier / Manufacturer for details regarding Part Nos., available types, etc.
Atex Certified Models
Take action to prevent static sparking. Fire or
explosion can result, especially when handling
flammable liquids. The pump, piping, valves,
containers or other miscellaneous equipment
must be grounded.
WARNING!
When used for toxic or aggressive fluids, the pump
should always be flushed clean prior to disassembly.
User must ensure chemical compatibility, and any
pressure / temperature limits are not exceeded.
These instructions include all the information for
relevant diaphragm temperature limits. Pump
temperature range can also be found on data-plate attached to the pump.
If pump is not used for more than 5 days, care must be taken when restarting.
If in any doubt, remove pump from line and flush with a suitable cleaner.
Solidified deposits within the pump may cause damage to the diaphragms.
WARNING!
Before pump operation, inspect all gasketed fasten-
ers for looseness caused by gasket creep. Re-torque
loose fasteners to prevent leakage. Follow recom-
mended torques stated in this manual. In cases of
excess vibration, Blagdon recommend fitting a Pulsa-
tion Dampener to remove effects of pulse actions
from pump operation. Flexible connections can be used, but must be kept to a
minimum length necessary to avoid sharp flexing or straining movements
.
CAUTION!
Refer to Parts List on page 13 for parts additional for Atex Certified
models. All models are certified as shown on page 1 of this manual.
Maximum temperature of fluid to be handled must be specified at time
of order. Pump must be marked with this information. For grounding
details refer to page 9.
