this may result in permanent deformation of
baseplate.
Pump, driver auxiliary equipment and
piping shall be removed from the baseplate before
leveling the baseplate.
Locate the baseplate in its proper position on the
concrete block together with the leveling screws as
shown in the General Arrangement Drawing.
Using a precision level across the machined surfaces
of the pump and driver mounting pads, adjust leveling
screws as necessary to ensure that baseplate is
leveled in all directions.
When the baseplate is leveled, snug the foundation
bolts, but do not completely tighten.
4.2.3
Preliminary alignment
Using the previous procedure, adjust baseplate until
pump and driver are within 0.076 mm (0.003 in.).
4.3 Grouting
The following information regarding
grouting is only offered as a general guideline.
Flowserve requires that all grouting be installed in
accordance with specifications set forth in Chapter 5,
Mounting Plate Grouting from API Recommended
Practices 686/PIP REIE 686, First Edition. Refer to
API 610 - Eighth Edition - Appendix `L` for baseplate
grouting requirements. It is recommended that the
customer consult a competent specialist skilled in the
field of grouting, to insure the proper installation of all
grouting.
The following ASTM Specifications are furnished as
references for test methods used in conjunction with
installation of grouting materials and should be used
to obtain proper results:
