Mystery USA Pump Manufacturer
(OP)
Hello All:
I am trying to find pump curves for the pump shown in the photo but am stumped as to who the manufacturer is. Does anyone know who the "D Pumps" manufacturer is (see casting in photo)? I have tried Dayton and Dover, but they don't seem to fit what I have. It is a 3-5 year old endsuction centrifugal, 4 x 3-10" pump, but no nameplate. It does have a few identifiers in the casting:
DT22234 CC
A 196.
4 x 3-10
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is for an emergency power plant fuel forwarding skid for a power plant that was recently destroyed by an explosion.
Thanks in advance,

It seems a pump replicator for Goulds Pumps or other ANSI pump.
Where pump is located?

RE: Mystery USA Pump Manufacturer
The A196 is a knockoff of the Goulds 3196 by Aardvark Pumps, whoever that is, but your picture shows a knockoff of a Durco, so it's possible that it's also by Aardvark. At any rate, any 4x3-10 (or 3x4-10, depending on who you talk to) will be a dimensional replacement.
RE: Mystery USA Pump Manufacturer
So used to that "D" logo I didn't catch the word "pumps" inside the Durco D on your bearing housing. A real Durco says "DURCO" inside the D; maybe now they say Flowserve.
WOuld like to know how well this pump is holding up and if it is in a tough service. If you are having trouble and need to replace significant parts, you may be better off replacing the whole thing with a real pump; i.e. Durco or Goulds.
As TenPenny says, since ANSI is a "dimensional" specification, a real Durco would be a drop-in replacement. As far as footprint, nozzle centerlines, and shaft centerline and length, a 4x3x10ANSI is a 4x3x10ANSI no matter whose pump it is.

So now there is more options for findings performance curves.
-Contact Aardvark Pumps for your actual performance curves.
-Change barepump from Flowserve or Goulds could be an option. Both have ANSI pump, Flowserve has close impeller ANSI pump, Goulds open impeller ANSI pump, so they have a little different behavior between them.
And then you will use new suitable performance curves.
-Uses performance curves from similar ANSI pumps.
It could work with certain of error in case of emergency.
