The interchangeability advantage

RPH pumps are designed to give "maximum interchangeability" advantage to the customer. A wide range of 52 hydraulics
is covered just by 4 sizes of bearing bracket. Thus imparting maximum flexibility for inventory control.
The customer finally has
- Reduced no. of pump parts
- Only 4 sizes of mechanical seal
- Lower operating cost

 Special design features

Flanged drain Triple bearing arrangement :

For high suction pressure

Design
(As per API 610 / 10th edition)
RPH is a horizontal, single stage,
radially split pump in back pull out
design with end suction and top
discharge. It has a single entry Inducer :
enclosed radial impeller. For very low NPSHr requirements
These pumps are also available with
inducer (on request).

Fields of applications
RPH pumps find extensive
applications in
- Refineries
- Petrochemical industries
- Fertilizer industry
- Heavy duty oil and gas services

Operating data Special features

Pump sizes DN 25 to 250 mm Finned bearing housing and air cooling with fan allow Cooled casing cover
Capacity Q up to 1500 m3/hr. operation of the pump upto 3150C without water Water cooled bearing bracket :
cooling. For extremely high temperatures
Head H up to 270 m
Since the seal chamber is designed in full compliance
Pressure P up to 51 bar with API 682; the shaft seal as per API 682 can be fitted
(Higher pressure
into the seal chamber as a standard.

 RPH - Ten good reasons for the right decision

1 2 3

1 As cast fins and an optional fan

Allow running of the pump up to 3150C without
water cooling. Water cooling option available for
extremely high temperature.

2 Seal chamber
Designed as per API 682 as a standard

3 Volute casing
Double volute for sizes DN 80 mm and above to
minimize radial load and shaft deflection. ASME B
16.5 Class 300 RF flanges as a standard. Other
ratings available on request.

4 Impeller
Designed for low NSS. Inducer option available on
request. Positively locked impeller nut.

5 Impeller nut
Positively locked impeller nut.

6 Casing drain
Ensures complete drain.
4
7 Metal to metal fit
Controlled compression SS 316 spiral wound
gasket between casing and casing cover.

5
8 Casing cover
Cooled or heated as optional arrangement.

9 Rigid and heavy shaft

Ensures minimum shaft deflection as per API 610
Ensures max. seal and bearing life.

10 Bearing bracket
Rugged design to ensure low vibrations. Magnetic
drain plug for a cleaner oil reservoir. Bearing
isolator to enhance bearing life. As cast fins for
convective heat transfer. Triplex bearing
