27、L NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION 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,
28、or Series 300 stainless steel alloy. 5.2.1 PRESSURE, MAXIMUM NET The maximum net pressure developed by the pump at the rated speed which typically occurs at or near shutoff pressure. 5.2.1 added July 12, 2013 5.3 PRESSURE, MAXIMUM WORKING For performance tests specied in this standard, the maximum p
29、ressure developed at the pump discharge ange under any condition 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 instal
30、lation for which the pump is constructed. The maximum net pressure 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. 5.4 PRESSURE, NET (TOTAL HEAD): a) For a split-case, end-suction, or
31、in-line pump, or a vertical-turbine pump in a 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 ve
32、rtical-turbine pump in a sump or well, the pressure 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. 5.4 revised July 12, 2013
33、5.5 PRESSURE, SHUTOFF (CHURN) The net head developed by a pump at rated speed with no water being delivered (discharge valve closed). 5.6 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 stuf
34、fing box and having the face of the suction nozzle perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. This type of pump is not intended to be used where a static suction lift is involved. 5.7 PUMP, FIRE A pump for horizontal or vertical mounting, having rated capacities in accordance with the requ
35、irements in the Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection, NFPA 20. 5.8 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 th
36、e shaft axis. This type of pump is not intended to be used where a static suction lift is involved. 5.9 PUMP LOAD The brake horsepower (kW input) required to drive a pump at rated speed and at the capacity requiring maximum power.

37、E - UL 448 4AUL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 5.10 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 pum
38、p is not intended to be used where a static suction lift is involved. 5.11 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
39、. The pump may also be provided with a suction vessel as an integral 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
40、split-case pump may be of a single-stage or multistage construction. A vertical-turbine pump may have any number of bowls and impellers. 6.2 A split-case, vertical-turbine, end-suction, or in-line pump shall have a rated capacity equal to a value specied in Table 6.1, or greater than 5000 gallons pe
41、r minute (18925 liters per minute) in 500 gallons per minute (1892 liters per minute) increments. 6.2 revised January 26, 2011 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 (11355) 150 (

44、 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 uid shall be of rolled bronze or other corrosion-resistant material. 6.6 T
45、he 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 (m 2 1550); D is the nominal diameter of bolt in
46、 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. 6.6 revised July 12, 2013 6.7 The maximum combined shear stres
47、s for a pump shaft 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. Compliance with this requirement is to be veried by a review of manufacturers stress calculations. 6.8 The impellers shall be dynamic
48、ally balanced to the G6.3 balance quality grade in accordance with the requirements for pump impellers in the Standard for Mechanical Vibration Balance Quality Requirements of Rigid Rotors, Part 1: Specication and Verication of Balance Tolerances, ISO 1940-1.
