Pour grout until level reaches top of dam.
Allow drying sufficiently to prevent grout from
overflowing while completing the remaining grouting.
Do not vibrate baseplate when grouting;
make sure baseplate is vented properly and all areas
indicated on General Arrangement drawing are
thoroughly filled to prevent any resonant problems.
d) When the grout is thoroughly hardened, remove
the dam.
e) Completely tighten the foundation bolts.
4.3.3
Grouting method B
a) Prepare foundation properly as shown in the
General Arrangement Drawing. The bolt holes
shall be tapered to the top.
Foundation and grouting description
b) Build a dam around the foundation to contain
grout materials.
c) Grout the foundation bolt holes as per
manufacturer's instructions, ensure that the grout
fills all open space and eliminates all air pockets.
Before grouting leveling space and
baseplate, check level of machined pads of baseplate
in both directions and perform a rough shaft/coupling
alignment. Alignment after grout has set will not be
possible if above is not satisfactorily completed.
d) Grout leveling space and baseplate as per
manufacturer's instructions.
Holes are provided in the baseplate to permit
pouring the grout and distributing. Vent holes are
also provided in each compartment. Fill under the
baseplate completely, stirring to assure proper
distribution of the grout. Check to see that the
grout flows under the edges of the baseplate
evenly.
Pour grout until level reaches top of dam.
Allow drying sufficiently to prevent grout from
overflowing while completing the remaining grouting.
Do not vibrate baseplate when grouting;
make sure baseplate is vented properly and all areas
indicated on General Arrangement drawing are
thoroughly filled to prevent any resonant problems.
e) When the grout is thoroughly hardened, remove
the dam.
f) Completely tightened the foundation bolts.
4.4 Initial alignment
4.4.1
Shaft/coupling alignment
The following information regarding shaft
alignment is only offered as a general guideline.
Flowserve requires that all shaft alignment be
performed in accordance with specifications set forth
in Chapter 7, Shaft Alignment from API
Recommended Practices 686/PIP REIE 686, First
Edition.
Shaft alignment must be correct for
successful operation. Rapid wear, noise, vibration
and actual damage to the equipment may be caused
by shaft misalignment. The shafts must be aligned
within the limits given within this section.
Adjustment to correct the alignment in one
direction may alter the alignment in another direction.
Always check in all directions after making any
adjustment.
Coupled equipment must be aligned to minimize
unnecessary stresses in shafts, bearings and
coupling. Flexible couplings will not compensate for
appreciable misalignment. Foundation settling,
thermal expansion or nozzle loads resulting in
baseplate/foundation deflection and vibration during
