Bronze Centrifugal Pump Pedestal

Bronze Centrifugal Pedestal mounted for long coupling to customer drive. The liquid flow is proportional to the pump speed--the higher the speed the greater the flow. Horsepower required varies directly as flow and pressure. Maximum horsepower is required with a wide open discharge line. This is the point of maximum flow. With a throttled discharge, the flow decreases at a greater rate than the pressure increases thereby requiring less horsepower at the higher pressures. This is known as an “unloading” feature of the pump. The pedestal centrifugal pumps can be direct driven by electric motors at either 3450 R.P.M. or 1725 R.P.M. Performance for both speeds are shown in the curves above. The 60P pedestal centrifugal pumps can be pulley driven at any desired intermediate speed.

Heavy liquids can be pumped; however, they demand morehorsepower in direct ratio to the weight of water. For example, carbontetrachloride has a specific gravity of 1.6 which means it is 1.6times heavier than water and the horsepower required is 1.6 timeswater horsepower. Because centrifugal pumps are more efficient at higher shaftspeeds, pumping of viscous or thick liquids is difficult.The 60P centrifugal pump has an external ball bearingisolated from the liquid being pumped. The ball bearing is greased and sealed for life, requiring no maintenance.
