Micrometer Impeller
Adjustment

Impeller-to-cover gap

Unique External Micrometer Reduces

Maintenance Time and Costs
Durcos innovative external micrometer impeller adjustment
mechanism5 is simple to use and reduces maintenance time
and costs. Most importantly, though, it is precisely accurate.

Step 1: Loosen the setscrews. Using

a wrench, rotate the bearing carrier
counterclockwise until the impeller
lightly touches the rear cover plate.

Step 2: Select the impeller setting.

Each notch on the carrier ring
represents exactly 0.10 mm (0.004 in)
of clearance. For an impeller setting of
0.5 mm (0.020 in), count five notches
counterclockwise.

Step 3: Move the carrier clockwise the

selected number of notches. Tighten
the setscrews and check the impeller
clearance with the feeler gauge.

5. Applicable for reverse vane impellers. Consult user instructions for pumps
fitted with front vane open-style impellers.

IPS Beacon Power End
Condition Monitor

Continuous Monitoring for Improved Pump

Reliability and Availability
All new Mark 3 ISO pumps incorporate the IPS Beacon
power end condition monitor. Mounted on top of the bearing
housing, IPS Beacon is a light fault device that continuously
monitors the bearings and provides a visual signal that a
current or past alert condition has occurred. Borosilicate
glass-protected LEDs indicate when thrust bearing
temperature or vibration levels exceed set-point limits.
Specific capabilities include:
Three-axis vibration measurement (velocity or acceleration)
Temperature sensor 0.01% full scale
14-day visual fault indication
LED indications for normal operation, current alert
condition and past alert condition
Extended battery life four years typical
Certified design CE Marked, ATEX/IECEX, CSA
IPS Beacon may be retrofitted to all existing Durco Mark 3
and Mark 3 ISO pumps as well as most process pumps.

Expansion Capabilities for More Advanced

Monitoring Needs
IPS Beacon is available with a take away memory (TAM)
device that has the ability to log and store monitoring data
locally as well as adjust set-point limits. When used in
combination with the accompanying docking device which
interfaces with a customers local PC, the TAM enables stored
data to be displayed in Microsoft Excel for analysis.
Further expansion capabilities include integration of a multipoint monitoring device and continuous wireless monitoring
functionality. Please refer to bulletin PS-90-11 for additional
information.

Shafts and Bearings

The Durco Mark 3 ISO shaft and bearings system is designed

to improve pump performance and reliability.

Solid Shaft Design

The robust and stiff solid shaft ensures less than 0.05 mm
(0.002 in) shaft deflection at the seal face and provides a low
L3/D4 shaft stiffness ratio6 to maximize mechanical seal life.

A sleeved shaft is available with the Durco Mark 3 ISO pump,

though Flowserve recommends using a solid shaft because
it better mitigates the harmful effects of deflection and vibration. While a shaft sleeve may simplify maintenance, a solid
shaft reduces it. Furthermore, the proper selection of the
shaft material and mechanical seal design will offset the
positive features of the shaft sleeve option.
To meet application requirements, shafts are available in
a wide range of corrosion-resistant materials, including:
316 stainless steel
Duplex stainless steel
Alloy 20
Alloy C-276
Alloy B-2

6. The formula I = L3/D4 offers an index of deflection to compare pump designs where:
I = index of deflection; L = length of shaft overhang from bearing; and D = rigid shaft
diameter. While this index can provide an approximate comparison of shaft stiffness,
a detailed analysis should be made to determine actual shaft deflection.

Robust Bearing System

As standard, the Durco Mark 3 ISO is supplied with
a deep groove ball bearing and double row angular
contact thrust bearing, providing life in excess of the
minimum specified by ISO 5199.
As an optional upgrade, the Durco Mark 3 ISO can
be supplied with a deep groove ball bearing and
reinforced duplex, back-to-back angular contact
thrust bearings, providing L10 bearing life in excess
of 50 000 hours.

Lubrication Options
Oil-lubricated Bearing Housing Splash Bath uses
a bulls-eye sight glass with magnetic drain plug as
standard with constant level oiler as an option.
Grease-lubricated Bearing Housing facilitates
maintenance by using grease nipples fitted at the
pump end and drive end. Alternatively, sealed-forlife bearings can be fitted.

The Durco reverse vane impeller delivers excellent efficiency

and performance, while extending bearing and seal life. The
result is reduced total cost of pump ownership.

Durcos unique external micrometer impeller adjustment

mechanism is simple to use and reduces maintenance
time. Most importantly, it is precisely accurate.

Predictable, Repeatable Seal Chamber Pressure and

Thrust Loads mean the mechanical seals last longer.
Rear Cover takes the abrasive wear instead of the more
expensive casing.
Easy Impeller Adjustment whether in the shop or in the
field with the only impeller design that takes full advantage of the back pull-out feature

Predictable, Repeatable Performance

The exclusive Durco reverse vane impeller has only one set
of pumping vanes and one critical tolerance.
Wear on most impeller types causes axial thrust loads to
decrease as the seal chamber gap widens. Seal chamber
pressure also increases. By re-setting the reverse vane
impeller against the cover, however, the original seal chamber
pressure and axial thrust loads are re-established. The result
is consistent, like-new performance.

Reflux Priming Principle

The Durco Mark 3 ISO Self-Priming pump operates on
the reflux principle, using liquid recirculation to prime
the pump. The pressure differential between the aerated
liquid at the impeller and the non-aerated liquid in the
priming chamber creates a vacuum that pulls liquid up
the pipe.
This principle eliminates the need for both internal
valves and external priming devices or foot-valves.
As a result, the Durco Mark 3 ISO Self-Priming pump
is ideal for suction lift applications or where a process
involves pumping a liquid with air or gas phases.
