Flowserve Expands Its Range of Durco® Mark 3(TM) ISO Higher-Pressure Pumps
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New Casing Options Developed to Meet Increasing Demand for Higher-Pressure
Pumps
DALLAS, June 12, 2015 - Flowserve Corporation (NYSE: FLS), a leading provider of
flow control products and services for the global infrastructure markets,
announced today at the ACHEMA 2015 World Forum of the Process Industry in
Frankfurt, Germany, that it has expanded its line of Durco Mark 3 ISO chemical
process pumps with a range of higher-pressure variants.
The release of the higher-pressure pumps comes at a time of increasing demand
from major chemical companies and refineries for ISO 2858 and ISO 5199 pumps
rated up to 25 bar.
"The introduction of higher-pressure variants to the Durco Mark 3 ISO pump line
is in response to an industry move to higher operating temperatures in some
chemical processes and an increased focus on process safety," said Bob
Hendricks, President, Industrial Pump Operations. "The Flowserve design team has
expanded the coverage of its well-established Durco Mark 3 ISO range while
retaining the benefits of reliability, ease of maintenance and low total cost of
ownership - the hallmarks of this pump line."
The sealed Durco Mark 3 ISO pumps are designed to operate up to a pressure
rating of 16 bar. The new high-pressure casings match the hydraulic performance,
dimensions and branch location of the standard casing. However, by the use of 3-
D modeling and finite element analysis, the pressure rating of the pump is
increased up to 25 bar, dependent on material and temperature, with minimal
increase in weight. In addition to the casing, all other pressure-containing
parts are also rated up to 25 bar. The pumps are available in a wide range of
materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and reactive alloys such as
titanium and zirconium.
Available in more than 30 models as foot- and centerline-mounted casings, these
high-pressure pumps are fully compliant with ISO 2858 duty conditions and
dimensional requirements. The high-pressure casings and associated components
have been designed for use with the sealed Durco Mark 3 ISO power end components
to ensure a high degree of interchangeability, thereby minimizing spare parts
inventory.
Durco Mark 3 ISO pumps have capacities up to 1,400 m3/hour (6,160 U.S. gpm) and
heads to220 m (720 ft.). Discharge nozzle sizes range from 32 mm (1.25 in.) to
200 mm (8 in.) and operating temperatures from -80 °C (-110 °F) to 400 °C (752
°F). The efficiencies and NPSHR of the higher-pressure variants are the same as
the sealed Durco Mark 3 ISO with ISO 2858 compliant hydraulics.
The Durco Mark 3 ISO higher-pressure pump range is CE marked, compliant with all
applicable European Directives such as the Machinery Directive and ATEX, and
also has GOST certification.
Flowserve will highlight the Mark 3 ISO pump at ACHEMA stand B63. For more
