Steam driven pump
Steam driven pump
(OP)
Hi,
I have been given a specification sheet showing a direct acting steam driven pump.
The size is given as 11" x 8" x 18"
Is it likley that these numbers mean anything ?
Also
The speed is given as 18 DSPM - what does DSPM mean ?
I have not been given the make of the pump, and I just trying to understand what I have been told.
Thank you for any help.

Thanks Steve, that helped me, having looked around the internet a bit, and with your reply, I can only agree that the machine is a bit of a beast from the ark.
As for what is being done, the project is in Indonesia and the fluid being pumped is Vac Residue oil, I don't know if it is at the design or procurement phase.
I have seen this type of fluid being pumped with normal triplex and quintuplex pumps so I don't know why this machine has been selected.
Once again, thank you for your help.

They are some of the earliest pump designs in existance. I believe G & J Weir invented the firsts ones.
They were common on board ships even up to the 50's
