Design Code for pumps_for stress analysis(piping)
(OP)
Hey guys
I am working on stress analysis for pipelines and i need information on one of the pumps on site ,Gorman Rupp type 06B3-B type… For that I need to find allowable nozzle end loads as per design code used on these pumps. I cannot seem to get through to the technical guys at Gorman Rupp or local agents. Is there anyone who knows or who can point me in the right direction?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it's not safe ... make it that way.

Gormann Rupp pumps are invariably cast iron bodied and I can understand a reluctance to allow any nozzle loadings.

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

Well at least not to anything that will impose a load.
I note your listed as petroleum - a completely different world to cast iron selfpriming contractor type pumps.

Actually I am a pipe stress engineer (chartered mechanical engineer) working mostly in petrochem, but also nuclear.
If someone has a workable solution to zero nozzle loads on any equipment with connected pipe in fluid service, I would be very pleased to know about it. It would make us both instant milloinaires.
Cheers.

It really is a different world in the water and wastewater & mining industries. Designing in the petrochem industry is a breeze compared to these industries. You have the luxury of precise standards and competent designers, manufacturers and contractors. I wont even speak of the building services industry. You rarely have to deal with plastic or cast iron materials.
I too work as a piping stressman and waterhammer speciailist but across all industries. Trying to get engineers to understand the need for dynamic analysis to determine loads on equipment is "pearls before swine" territory outside of petrochem/oil & gas. They dont understand what they dont know!
It comes down to the consequences of the risk. It is cheaper to put in that extra support, repair the failure etc than engineer it as we do for petrochem projects.
