130 Years of Pump Manufacturing American*Marsh Pumps, one of the oldest pump lines in America, are pnmp products steeped in heritage. Since 1873, the American: Marsh line of pumps has withstood the «est of time. During the last 130 years, over L00 vary eties of pumps have been designed and built From steam pumps to centrifugal pumps, American-Marsh pumps have been built to meer the ever changing requirements of society. Over the last century through continuous prod: uct development, more-American- Marsh mod els have been retired than most other pump manufacturers have ever produced. Hundreds Of thousands of pumps have been made, all designed for longevity, allowing many of them, to continne servicing, enstomers over 50 years All of our pumps have three superior charac- teristics; Design, Performance, and Durability. Qur engineering, department, which includes an in house pattern shop, designs each’pump so thapinstallation and maintenange is easy. Our performances are,cngincered to meet or beat the competition in each category. For 130 years, American-Marsh Pumps produets have Corey ey provided cost €ffective solutions by building pumps to last,Durability by design is always the most cost effective solution, From engineering and design yo final assembly, experienced people control each step of the mamulacturing process with quality control inspections performed at cach’step. All pumps shafts are heat straight- ened. All impellers are computer balanced. Pump testing is done in our new state of the art test facility. All of these factors ensure you receive consistent quality product every time American-Marsh Pumps has provided quality pump products for over 130 years. At American. Marsh Pumps, we know that long life and superior performance are the keys to satis fied Custumers, By wuderstanding your uceds, ‘we can design products that-met those needs Our product family reflects years of customer input, product upgrades, redesign and new product development, all focused on meeting and exceeding your expectations.AMERICAN-MARSH PUMPS Specifications HH, HJ, HK & OSMH Series cast iron or The casing is of high other specified matetial. Ie is of the volute type, oplit om the horizontal center line with the suction and dis- charge flanges as well ay Une bearing brackets (HH & HJ) cast integral with the lower half. Removal of the upper half of the casing gives complete access to the interior of the pump without disturbing the piping con- nections or pump alignment. Ample wall thickness pro vides a generous allowance for corrosion Stage Arrangement: The stage arrangement is such tat eacl stuffing box is only under first stage pressure Furthermore, the maximum pressure difference across any of the stage pieces, separating the impeller cham- bers, is reduced to that of the first stage. Impellers are “opposed or back-to-back to eliminate end thrust and volutes are staggered to balance radial thrust. This hydraulic balancing of all radial and end thrust is obtained without the nse of tronbleseme balancing! dlsks or other devices that reduce efficiency, ‘Thus the cflicicncy is inbovesithhigh and sustained over long, petiudls of time Impellers: ‘The impellers are of the single. suction, englosed, noh-overloading type, They are placed back te back ta halance the end theet withonr rhe ek oF extra seal Fings of othr balancing’ devices, Impellers are matle,of-bronze,castironor-other-specified-matetialy machined and polished.all over, and dynamically and, hydraulically balan. hey ave heyed wo ube shall aud secured by lock nuts, Casing and Impeller Wear Rings: The casing and specified material. Both rings have large wearing sur- faces to reduee leakage losses. TTIT case wear rings are of the labyrinth type with the diameter at wearing sur face reduced to @ minimum, and are firmly secured in the casing by dowel pins. HK & OSMH casing wear rings are held ngidly un the casing by a tongue and groove fit with offset on the horizontal centerline ~ thus preventing rotation without using holding, pins or screws. Shafts The shali is of 420 stainless steel, ground to accurate dimenstons and polished to a smooth surface. It is designed for extra stiffness to avoid all critical speeds in operation, and is threaded tor bearing and Jock nuts. On pumps with more than two impellers, impeller kevs are staggered to prevent uneven stresses and unbalance. Shaft Sleeves: ‘The shaft sleeves are of bronze, ot other specified material, extending from the impeller hub through the stuffing boxes and secured to the shaft by twin positive locknuts. Stuffing boxes prevent leak- age along the shaft while allowing freedom for the sleeve to expand independently of the shaft expansion, Stuffing Boxes: ‘The stuffing boxes are extra deep, designed for six rings of packing in addition to the lantern ring. Under each staffing hex is a drip pocker with tapped drain outlet HK and OSMH madels are arranged for water cooling and are extra deep. Throat bushings protect main casing from wear. Lantern rings arc provided with in-and-out connections provided for bot boxes 10 permit the circulation of sealing water or a lubricating medium when required by special service conditions, A wide vanety of mechanical seals are avail able upon request. Glonder ‘The glands ore of the hinge bole type, oplit for casy removal and fastened together with capscrews. Bearings: On HH & HJ models both thesinb@ard and outboard: ball bearings arejof the'single raw, decp groove type, precision grade, with cartridge mounting, permitting the removal of the shaft withont exposing or disturbing the bearing assembly.

HK & OSMH bearings are of the donble row type with positive ring. ailing, ‘The inboard bearing carries the radial load and is free to move in either direction, The outboard bearing is of the angular contact, duplex type to carry cither radial for unbalanced tlirust loads and maintain impellers in thelr proper positions. Rearing Hansings: HH & HJ modele are of the car- tridge type and designed to be removed from the pump with the rotating assembly, HK & OSMH bearings are pli on the horizontal centerline, similar to the pump casing, 90 that the housings need not be detached fron the lower part of the casing when removing the rorat- ing element. The cooling water jacket extends around the entire circumference of the bearing housing so that cooling is uniform and no damaging stresses are set up as might be the case when the coolina jacket is only around one-half the citcumference as used in older designs.
