Sample Specification
The pump shall be Spirax Sarco type PPEC low profile pressure powered pump
operated by steam, compressed air or other pressurized gas to 125 psig, which does
not require any electrical energy, and is safe for use in explosive atmospheres. Body
construction of cast iron, cast steel, or cast 316 stainless steel, for pumping liquids of
specific gravity of 0.65 and above. The pump shall contain a float operated snap-acting
mechanism with no external seals or packing, stainless steel trim, and hardened
stainless steel mechanism bearing components with single piece motive inlet valve.
Pump to be provided complete with inlet and outlet check valves attached at the factory
for ease of field installation. When required, shall be equipped with a cycle counter to
monitor the volume of liquid being pumped, and/or a sight glass to monitor operation.
Installation
For generic hook-up sketch, see TIS 5.202. Full details are given in IMI 5.200, which
accompanies the product.
Local regulation may restrict the use of this product below the conditions quoted. Limiting conditions refer to standard connections only.
In the interests of development and improvement of the product, we reserve the right to change the specification.
