4 Operation

Following these recommendations will ensure maximum MTBPM of the

X-200 seal.

4.1 Do not exceed corrosion limits. The X-200 is designed to resist

corrosion by most chemicals. However, do not expose the X-200

materials of construction to products outside of their corrosion lim-

its. The X-200 assembly drawing lists the materials of construction.

For chemical resistance ratings consult Flowserve.

4.2 Do not exceed the Pressure-Velocity (P-V) limits.

4.3 Do not exceed the temperature limits of the X-200. The materi-

als of construction are listed on the assembly drawing. For the tem-

perature limits of materials consult Flowserve. Turn on any cooling

water to the supply tank before start-up.

4.4 Do not start up or run the X-200 dry. Buffer / barrier fluid must be

in the seal cavity at all times during pump operation.

For special problems encountered during installation, contact your

nearest Flowserve Sales and Service Representative or Authorized

Distributor.
