A-P10 type pumps
A-P10 (OH2) pumps are single-stage horizontal process pumps supported on the axis, of typical construction, designed and manufactured in accordance with the latest edition of the API610 standard (ISO 13709) and the ATEX directive.
These pumps are widely used in refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants. They are designed for continuous operation, for pumping various fluids with a wide range of physical and chemical parameters.
Layout & Construction Principles
Centrifugal Single-Stage Process Execution
Centrifugal, single-stage, horizontal, A-P10 (OH2) process pumps designed for difficult operating conditions. The spiral pump body, supported axially, is divided in a vertical plane, the suction port is located in the pump axis, and the discharge port is directed radially upwards.
Advanced Sealing & Heavy-Duty Bearings
The design of the pumps allows for various configurations regarding the type of seal. Externally ribbed bearing bodies with a capacious oil pan accommodate bearings with high load-bearing capacity, in which a shaft with significant stiffness is supported.
