Forces and moments values are applied to the
whole flanges and not flange-by-flange. For their
sharing out on the pump flanges, refer to standard
NFCR 13 931.
Ensure piping and fittings are flushed
before use.
Ensure piping for hazardous liquids is
arranged to allow pump flushing before removal of
the pump.
4.5.2 Suction piping
4.5.2.1 Design of a flooded suction line
The suction line must be as short and direct as
possible, never mount an elbow directly on the inlet
flange of the pump.
Non-return valve
Valve
Continuous
flow valve
Flooded suction configuration
a) Avoid sharp elbows or sudden narrowing. Use
convergent
≤
20° (total angle).
b) Arrange the piping so that there are no air
pockets (no bulges).
c) If high points cannot be avoided in suction line,
provide them with air relief cocks.
d) If a strainer is necessary, its net area should be
three or four times the area of the suction pipe.
e) If an inlet valve is necessary, choose a model
with direct crossing.
Do not tighten flanges before the final
check (see § 4.5.4).
