Series T324 Specifications

Casing-   High shock capacity ductile (nodular) iron.

Rotor Housing-   Bronze standard, bimetal optional.

Power Rotor-   Alloy steel, hardened and thread ground.

Idler Rotors-   Alloy steel, hardened and thread ground.

Gaskets-   Cellulose and non-asbestos fiber.

Seal & Bearing-   Type B: Buna N bellows mechanical seal with carbon on niresist faces. Recommended for distillate oils.  Type ZT: Positive drive mechanical seal with carbon on carbide faces. Recommended for residual and crude oils. All types have one external, permanently grease packed, deep groove ball bearing.

Accessories- Completely mounted, built to order pump/driver assemblies are available with baseplates, etc.

Outlet Pressure-   700 PSIG (48.3 BAR) maximum.

Drive-  Direct only.

Rotation-  Clockwise facing pump shaft.

Mounting-  Horizontal foot mount.

Filtration- Inlet strainers are required to keep contaminants and abrasives out of the pump. They must be selected in consultation with the strainer vendor to prevent pump starvation. Normally, 60 mesh (0.01 inch- 238 micron) for light and 1/8-3/16 inch (3-5mm) openings for heavy oils are recommended.

Maximum Speed*-   2300 RPM. Speeds above 1800 RPM require Imo Pump review.

* Assumes minimum inlet pressure requirements are met.
