19、re-protection service. 1.2 The pumps covered by these requirements are intended for installation and use in accordance with the Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection, NFPA 20. 2 Components 2.1 Except as indicated in 2.2, a component of a product covered by this standa

20、rd shall comply with the requirements for that component. 2.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement i

21、n this standard. 2.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities.

24、TION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 5 Glossary 5.1 For the purposes of this standard, the following denitions apply. 5.2 CORROSION-RESISTANT MATERIAL A material having resistance to corrosion equivalent to or exceeding that of a brass, bronze, monel, or Series 300 stainless steel alloy.

25、5.3 PRESSURE, MAXIMUM NET The maximum net pressure developed by the pump at the rated speed which typically occurs at or near shutoff pressure. 5.4 PRESSURE, MAXIMUM WORKING For performance tests specied in this standard, the maximum pressure developed at the pump discharge ange under any condition

26、of intended use determined by the sum of the maximum net pressure developed by the pump and the allowed positive suction pressure . For production tests, this value may be lower, based on the conditions imposed by the particular installation for which the pump is constructed. The maximum net pressur

27、e and maximum positive suction pressure that are marked on the pump are those that indicate the acceptability of a pump (the limiting pressures) for an installation. 5.5 PRESSURE, NET (TOTAL HEAD): a) For a split-case, end-suction, in-line pump, multistage multiport, or a vertical-turbine pump in a

28、suction vessel, the algebraic difference in psi (kPa) between pressures measured at the discharge ange and at the suction ange, corrected to the pump centerline and corrected for differences in velocity head at the points of gauge attachment. b) For a vertical-turbine pump in a sump or well, the pre

29、ssure measured by a pressure gauge attached just beyond the discharge head, corrected for the velocity head at the point of gauge attachment and for the vertical distance from the pumping water level to the center of the gauge. 5.6 PRESSURE, SHUTOFF (CHURN) The net head developed by a pump at rated

30、speed with no water being delivered (discharge valve closed). 5.7 PUMP, END-SUCTION A horizontal centrifugal pump characterized by having its suction nozzle on the pump centerline at the opposite side of the casing from the stuffing box and having the face of the suction nozzle perpendicular to the

31、longitudinal axis of the shaft. This type of pump is not intended to be used where a static suction lift is involved. 5.8 PUMP, FIRE A pump for horizontal or vertical mounting, having rated capacities in accordance with the requirements in the Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fi

32、re Protection, NFPA 20. 5.9 PUMP, IN-LINE A centrifugal pump, the drive unit for which is supported solely by the pump, and that is characterized by suction and discharge connections having a common centerline that intersects the shaft axis. This type of pump is not intended to be used where a stati

33、c suction lift is involved. 5.10 PUMP LOAD The brake horsepower (kW input) required to drive a pump at rated speed and at the capacity requiring maximum power.

34、DUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 5.11 PUMP, MULTISTAGE MULTIPORT A centrifugal pump with multiple impellers operating in series where the discharge from each impeller, except for the last impeller, provides pressure to the subsequent stage and multiple discharge ports are provided

35、at certain locations within the stages of the pump. 5.12 PUMP, SPLIT-CASE A centrifugal pump characterized by a housing that is split axial or radial to the shaft, and mounted in the horizontal or vertical position. This type of pump is not intended to be used where a static suction lift is involved

36、. 5.13 PUMP, VERTICAL-TURBINE A centrifugal pump with one or more impellers discharging into one or more bowls and a vertical eductor or column pipe used to connect the bowls to the discharge head on which the pump driver is mounted. The pump may also be provided with a suction vessel as an integral

37、 part. Vertical turbine pumps not provided with suction vessels are intended for installation in sumps or wells. CONSTRUCTION ALL PUMPS 6 General 6.1 An end-suction or in-line pump shall be of a single- or two-stage construction. A split-case pump may be of a single-stage or multistage construction.

38、 A multistage multiport pump shall be of a multistage construction with multiple outlets. A vertical-turbine pump may have any number of bowls and impellers. 6.2 A split-case, multistage multiport, vertical-turbine, end-suction, or in-line pump shall have a rated capacity equal to a value specied in

39、 Table 6.1, or greater than 5000 gallons per minute (18925 liters per minute) in 500 gallons per minute (1892 liters per minute) increments. Table 6.1 Pump capacities Gallons per minute (Liters per minute) Gallons per minute (Liters per minute) 25 (95) 2000 (7570) 50 (189) 2500 (9462) 100 (379) 3000

42、 PERMISSION FROM UL 6.4 A bolt, stud, cap screw, or gland swing bolt used to assemble parts subject to stress due to water pressure shall not be less than 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) in diameter. 6.5 An interior bolt or screw that is exposed to pumped water shall be constructed of a corrosion-resistant materi

43、al (see 5.2) or Series 400 stainless steel. 6.6 The maximum stress on any bolt of a pressure-holding casting shall not exceed one-fourth the elastic limit of the material as computed by using the stress area. The stress area is dened by the equation: in which: A s is the stress area in square inches

44、 (m 2 1550); D is the nominal diameter of bolt in inches (mm 0.04); and n is the number of threads per inch (25.4 mm). The load on the bolts is to be computed on the basis of the water pressure equivalent to the maximum working pressure over the area out to the centerline of the bolts. Exception: If

45、 an O-ring is used to provide a casing seal, the area inside the O-ring shall be permitted to be used to determine area for the bolt stress calculation. 6.7 The maximum combined shear stress for a pump shaft, based upon the minimum diameter at the root of threads or an undercut (not including underc

46、utting for keys), shall not exceed 30 percent of the elastic limit in tension or be more than 18 percent of the ultimate tensile strength of the shafting steel used. For shafts with keyways, the allowable stress limits shall be 75 percent of the stresses calculated using the minimum shaft diameter a

47、t the key location (not including the undercut). Compliance with this requirement is to be veried by a review of manufacturers stress calculations. 6.8 The impellers shall be dynamically balanced to the G6.3 balance quality grade in accordance with the requirements for pump impellers in the Standard

48、 for Mechanical Vibration Balance Quality Requirements of Rigid Rotors, Part 1: Specication and Verication of Balance Tolerances, ISO 1940-1. Exception: The impellers may be statically (single plane) balanced in accordance with ISO 1940-1 if the ratio of the maximum outside diameter to the width at

49、the periphery (including the shroud but not including the back vane) is equal to or greater than 6. 6.9 Flange dimensions and bolt layouts used in pipe connections shall comply with the requirements of one of the following standards: a) Standard for Cast Iron Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings, ANSI/ASME B16.1; b) Standard for Ductile Iron Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings : Classes 150 and 300, ANSI/ ASME B16.42; or OCTOBER 20, 2017 CENTRIFUGAL STATIONARY PUMPS FOR FIRE-PROTECTI
