Rotodynamic pumps - Forces and moments on flanges centrifugal, mixed flow and axial flow pumps - Horizontal and vertical shafts CR 13931:2000

Publication date:   Dec 22, 2003

Scope

This CEN report provides informations for the calculation of maximum permissible forces and moments allowed on the flanges of various types of horizontal and vertical shaft rotodynamic pumps, caused by the reaction to pipework which is rigidly connected to the installation. This document does not take into account the effect of any elastic or deformable linkages, such as bellows, elastic joints, self butting sliding joints etc. This CEN report is not applicable to multistage monobloc pumps, whose outlets are remote from the installation plane,
or to horizontal shaft pumps mounted vertically for installation reasons, such as, fixing to a vertical wall.
