ASME B73.1 pump manufacturers - Full compliance

ASME B73.1 pump manufacturers - Full compliance

ASME B73.1 pump manufacturers - Full compliance

(OP)
Hi,

I'm looking for manufacturers which pumps are FULL COMPLIANCE with ASME B73.1 Std.
Some manufacturers complies only mechanically, but not dimensionally.

Could you help me?

Tks

RE: ASME B73.1 pump manufacturers - Full compliance

It is the intent of this Standard that pumps of the same standard dimension designation from all sources of supply shall be interchangeable
with respect to mounting dimensions, size and location of suction and discharge nozzles, input shafts, baseplates, and foundation bolt holes.
If they don't meet this they don't' meet the spec.
Suppliers include ITT Goulds, Flowserve, Sulzer Pumps,

Ultimately, you will have to obtain the answer to your question from the pump manufacturers.

RE: ASME B73.1 pump manufacturers - Full compliance

If they comply mechanically and (I don't really know what this means) don't comply dimensionally - they don't comply with B73.1.
Hydraulic performance can vary between manufacturers.

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.)

RE: ASME B73.1 pump manufacturers - Full compliance

Isn't B73.1 essentially a dimensional spec? How could you comply but not comply dimensionally?
