Impeller Clearance Settings

Flowserve recommends the following impeller settings based on the pump sizes.
If the Pump Size Is:

Setting for Enclosed Impellers

Size 6 thru size 12

3~4 mm (0.13~0.15 in)

Size 14 and above

6~7 mm (0.25~0.27 in)

Setting for Semi-Open Impellers

0.25 mm to 0.38 mm
(0.010 in to 0.015 in)
0.63 mm to 0.76 mm
(0.025 in to 0.030 in)

Note: Shafts elongate due to the hydraulic thrust of the pump and the impellers must be compensated for this
elongation. Shaft elongation varies for each model depending upon the size, shaft length, shaft diameter,
impeller weight, number of stages. Please see the documentation supplied along with the pump for exact
impeller setting value matched for the specific pump that you have purchased

The pump discharge head and mounting
surface shall be leveled within 0.025 mm /
0.31 m (0.001 in/ft). The level shall not exceed
0.125 mm (0.005 in) elevation difference
between any two points.

Torque values are for standard fasteners lubricated with

a high stress lubricant (such as graphite and oil, molydisulphite, white lead, etc.). For stainless steel bolts,
multiply listed torques by 0.80.

Alignment:
Total indicated runout (TIR) should not exceed
0.25 mm (0.010 in) for WA and WSA couplings
or 0.15 mm (0.006 in) for PA and PSA
couplings.

Notes:
Amount = 0.45-0.90 m3/h (2-4 gpm) at 0.7-1.4 bar
(10-20 psi) over the maximum discharge

Type = Clean city water
Prelubrication = 10-20 minutes prior to pump start-up
* In certain cases, only 0.7-1.4 bar (10-20 psi) of total
pressure is required. Contact factory for review.
