Cornell Vertical Close Coupled Solids Handling Pumps
Furnish and install (1) end suction centrifugal pumps. The pumps shall be designed for continuous
operating service and constructed as follows to meet the intended service. Pumps shall be as
manufactured by CORNELL PUMP COMPANY of Portland, Oregon, USA and shall be warranted
for a period of two full years after start up, not to exceed 30 months from the date of shipment.
Pumps shall be Model Number________
Design Capacity ____ Pumpage Temp 60.0 Deg f
Design Total Head ____ Ft Max. NPSHR @ Design Pt. ___ Ft
Min. Shut Off Head ____ Ft
Maximum Speed ____ RPM
Min. Efficiency Design Point _____%
Discharge Size ____ "
The close coupled end suction centrifugal pump shall be directly coupled to the motor. The keyed
straight bore impeller shall be mounted directly to the motor shaft. The pump and motor shall be
connected by an ASTM A48 Class 30 fine grain Grey Iron bracket with machined registers to
assure proper alignment.
The pump casing shall be tangential/centerline (choose) discharge of back pullout design allowing
for removal of rotating element without disturbing piping connections. The casing shall be
constructed of fine grain Cast Iron of ASTM A48 Class 30. All casing sections shall have heavy
wall thickness to provide long life under abrasive and corrosive operating conditions. All mating
surfaces shall have
register fits to ensure proper alignment. Piping connections shall be ANSI 125# flat face drilled
flange. Flange face surface finish shall be a minimum of 250 micro-inch finish.
The pump back plate shall be constructed of ASTM A48 Class 30 Cast iron, and include a priming
port to permit use of this pump in a vacuum prime service
A replaceable wear ring shall be provided. The ring shall be of the peripheral design requiring no
axial adjustment and shall be press fit into the case. The rings shall be constructed of ASTM A48,
Class 30 cast iron.
The impeller shall be of heavy section Cast Iron ASTM A48, Class 30 with the two-port design.
Impellers shall be capable of passing a 3 or larger soft solid. Impellers will have back vanes to
reduce axial thrust and lower the stuffing box pressure. Internal vane edges shall be well rounded to
present smooth flow. Impeller shall have a straight non-tapered bore, be dynamically balanced,
keyed to the shaft and further secured with a Stainless Steel washer and a Stainless Steel impeller
lockscrew. The impeller shall be fixed at location with no expected or required adjustment.
A Cornell Cycloseal backplate with deflector vanes constructed of ASTM A48 Class 30 Grey Iron
shall be provided, including a single mechanical seal, tungsten carbide vs silicon carbide. The
design shall allow for continuous operation without the need for external flush water or venting.

The shaft shall be of high strength Alloy Steel. The shaft shall be accurately machined and polished
and of sufficient size to transmit full driver output without excessive flexure or stressing. The shaft
shall have a minimum diameter of _____inches under the sleeve. All steps in the shaft shall be
radiused to reduce stress concentrations. Shaft deflection shall not exceed 0.005 inch measured at
end of shaft when operating at specified design condition. A complete shaft stress analysis
calculation shall be supplied by the pump manufacturer to illustrate conformance with this
requirement.
The shaft shall be protected by a renewable shaft sleeve which extends through the stuffing box and
under the gland. The sleeve shall be grooved on the inside for an o-ring to prevent leakage along
the shaft and shall be positively locked to prevent rotation. The sleeve O.D. shall be a minimum of
0.375 inches wider than the shaft and constructed of 420 S.S H.T. min 400 BHN.
Suction elbows shall be of one piece cast iron, heavy section, construction, with a bolted and
contoured clean out plug. The base shall be constructed with sufficient strength to support the entire
weight of the unit, and of sufficient height so that no part of the elbow will touch the floor.
The motor shall be of United States manufacture, vertical mount, close coupled type with rodent
screens on all ventilating passages. It shall be not less than ___ HP at ____ rpm, open drip
proof/TEFC (select one ) and non-overloading exclusive of the service factor at any point on the
pump head capacity curve. Motor supply power is _______ volt, 60 hertz, 3 phase. The motor
bearings shall be selected to withstand thrust loads and have a minimum B-10 life of 50,000 hours.
The motors shall be equipped with grease fittings and automatic grease reliefs. Motors shall also be
provided with drip hood over top end bell.
